Robust ALS processing at two Dutch sites
Authors/Creators
Description
This dataset provides an example workflow with the airborne laser scanning processing pipeline described and tested in Fischer et al. 2024, Methods in Ecology and Evolution (https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.14416). The pipeline is applied to four national ALS surveys of the Netherlands (AHN2–AHN5) at two sites (Hulshorst, Veluwe). The source data can be found at https://www.ahn.nl (CC-BY 4.0).
NOTE: The pipeline requires a recent distribution of the lidar processing software LAStools (https://rapidlasso.de/product-overview/) as well as a valid license.
01_raw: contains the raw data + a metadata file necessary for processing
02_ancillary: contains ancillary flightline data to obtain scanning dates + the pipeline scripts
03_processed: contains the processed products
Further details can be found in the reference publication and in the INFO files provided with each processed dataset.
