2015 Univ of TX BEG Topobathy Lidar: Lower Texas Coast

NOAA
This data set contains LAS v. 1.2 format all points data from the Lower Texas Coast. The data were collected in winter, 2015 using the Bureau of Economic Geology?s airborne system (Chiroptera)which can collect topographic lidar data, shallow bathymetric lidar data, and natural color/color infrared imagery. The X, Y, and Z point data are generated by combining laser range and aircraft attitude data collected using an airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) instrument with once-per-second data collected using geodetic quality (dual phase) Global Positioning System (GPS) airborne and ground-based receivers. The equipment was installed in a twin engine Partenavia P68 aircraft (tail number N300LF) owned and operated by Aspen Helicopters, Inc., and operated locally out of Aransas County Airport in Rockport, Texas. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
