Virginia Tech StREAM Lab Spring 2017 Drone Lidar Survey
Two drone lidar flights were conducted on March 17, 2017 and April 5, 2017 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 digital terrain model (DTM) with interpolated stream bathymetry (0.1 m resolution), and a canopy height model (CHM; 0.1 m resolution) were created. These data were collected to support ecohydrological modeling research. The drone lidar survey of the StREAM Lab was replicated in Winter 2021 (Hession et al., 2023). The point cloud and raster products from the Winter 2021 survey are also available on OpenTopography (https://doi.org/10.5069/G9348HK3).
