CoastScan Combined
Notes on the Dataset
- The dataset comprises ALS and PLS/TLS data. The ALS data covers a larger area than the PLS/TLS data, but within each acquisition type, the covered area remains the same.
- The ALS data's z-coordinate is always the same as the y-coordinate, i.e., it is erroneous.
