Virginia Tech StREAM Lab Winter 2021 Drone Lidar Survey

Published by OpenTopography | OpenTopography | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 03:00 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 27, 2023
Two drone lidar flights were conducted on November 11, 2021 and December 13, 2021 over the Virginia Tech StREAM Lab (https://www.bse.vt.edu/research/facilities/StREAM_Lab.html) during leaf-off conditions. The lidar data were collected using a Vapor35 (AeroVironment, Simi Valley, CA, USA) with a YellowScan Surveyor Core lidar unit (Monfeerier-sur-Lez, France). From these two flights, a classified point cloud, a ground point density raster (1 m2 resolution), a digital elevation model (DEM) with surveyed stream bathymetry (0.1 m2 resolution), and a canopy height model (CHM; 0.1 m2 resolution) were created. This data was collected to support hydrodynamic modeling research.
