Summary

This dataset consists of high-resolution 3D point clouds of temperate forest stands of diverse species. The point clouds were obtained across the US and the UK during 2019 and 2020. The US point clouds were acquired using a Riegl-VZ400i TLS scanner in Sycan Marsh, Oregon and the UK point clouds were acquired using a GeoSLAM ZEB Horizon in Loch Lomond, Scotland. This dataset can be used to explore structural differences across forests and as test data for 3D point cloud pipelines.
