FW10/01, flight day 98/2010, New_Forest

[benj]

Data location: ~arsf/arsf_data/2010/flight_data/uk/FW10_01-2010_098_New_Forest

Data arrived from ARSF via network transfer on 12th April 2010.

Scientific objective: Test flight for full-waveform LiDAR

Priority: a4m (not graded by SC, assigned following consultation with ppu)

PI: Ross Hill

Full waveform test flight. Will be delivered to PI but not specifically requested.

Sensors:

• Eagle (18/08/2010)
• Hawk (13/12/2010)
• Leica LIDAR (Full Waveform) (11/08/2010)
• RCD (11/08/2010)

[mggr]

Please notify Dr Hill when processing begins, as he and his student may wish to visit (once the data is confirmed to be basically ok).

[mggr]

Fix summary line (in case we ever automate this).

[mark1]

IPAS has been processed but due to large distance (~80km) to nearest available base station results are not great.

[mark1]

applanix data also processed

[mark1]

started hyperspectral processing

[mark1]

Eagle file -6 has 3937 lines, not 1837 as reported in hdr file. Have edited hdr file appropriately.

[mark1]

Removed photographs 1-16 since they do not overlap the flight lines

[mark1]

Photograph delivery has been checked and looks ok.

Hyperspectral delivery is ready for checking at:

Lidar delivery is ready for checking (but needs an updated quality report) at:

[chrfi]

delivery checked: all hawk lines, band 160 are value zero
no other issues

[mggr]

For the full waveform delivery, please include ASCII + LAS1.0 versions of the discrete returns as well as LAS1.3 FW data. Also, we need to include the data sampling rate (possibly per line) in the documentation, e.g. 256 samples @ 1ns?

[emca]

LIDAR data delivery checked.

Made some changes to the Readme and to the filenames to conform to the standard.
Checked several FW LAS files in TScan and all load okay with the .trj file.

Ready to deliver.

[mark1]

LiDAR and Photography data delivered to PI on 11/08/2010.

[mark1]

PI requested that we send Eagle data separately now rather than wait for the Hawk calibration issue to be resolved.

[mark1]

Eagle data dispatched to PI 18/08/2010.

[mark1]

There was no rinex/basestation data so used download option from grafnav when processing the trajectory data.

[mark1]

Rsynced LiDAR/Camera/Eagle over to ~arsf. Did not rsync proc_laser since las files were delivered to PI in the LiDAR delivery.

[emca]

Corrected LAS1.3 files sent to R Hill 21/10/2010

(incorrect header on original delivered files due to an error in processing software)

[anch]

Delivery checked hawk - everything is fine and ready to deliver.

[mark1]

Hawk data has been dispatched to PI, as well as FW LiDAR extractions from the new extracting tool.
