Using a LH Systems ALS50 Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) system, flight lines of standard density (1.4 meter ground
sample distance) data were collected over areas in Brazoria County, TX (approximately 1428 square miles). Multiple returns
were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The data acquisition occurred in 6 missions
between April 9, 2006, April 16, 2006, April 17, 2006, and May 11, 2006 through May 13, 2006. The data was collected by Sanborn
