Pulsed laser mapping system for light aircraft
Abstract
A demonstration airborne laser mapping system for light aircraft has been tested in a Cessna 206 single-engine aircraft. Data from the test runs compare favorably with the ground truth data. Preliminary assessments indicate that vertical profiles and horizontal positions are accurate to within 2 m.
