Point clouds from terrestrial laser scanning of 74 trees in Russell Square, London

Point clouds of 74 trees scanned in Russell Square, London

Tree species is predominantly London Plane (Platanus × hispanica).

Data was captured on 8/2/2017 (leaf-off) with a RIEGL VZ-400 terrestrial laser scanner. 22 scans were conducted from 11 positions. The weather was good, with little to no noticeable wind.

Data is a binary PLY format with xyz fields in an arbitrary coordinate system. Trees have been extracted from the global point cloud and have been "cleaned" to remove the ground and neighbouring trees (however there may be some errors). Data has been downsampled to a voxel size of 0.04 m.
