2015-16 Central Highlands LiDAR Project

project: cep08-2015-16_central-highlands

The Central Highlands LiDAR survey provides elevation data over a 4580 km² northeast of Melbourne in Victoria. The LiDAR data will be used in conjunction to map the key forest structure. The LiDAR was captured between January to May 2016, at a nominal density of four outgoing laser pulses per square metre with 50% overlap in swaths. A set of seamless products were produced to project specifications, including a digital elevation model (DEM), Canopy Height model (CHM), Foliar Cover Models (FCMs), and First Return Intensity Images
