Hi everyone,

Eetu asked me to tell you about this new data set by forwarding you this message.

Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI, former Finnish Geodetic Institute) has made a TLS point cloud time series collected with FGI HSL available for public download. The dataset includes 30 *.laz files collected over one day in Finland plus a documentation file. The whole package size is about 230 MB.

The point count in each file is somewhere between 1 to 2 million points. Each point in the point clouds carries 7(+1 noisy) intensity values in it.
The link to the time series data:

The actual download link is in the middle of the page. More details about the data are in the included documentation.

The dataset should make a nice teaching material for a class, testing material for classification algorithms, and hopefully encourage scanner manufacturers to consider developing new multi-wavelength TLS systems.

Cheers,

Eetu Puttonen
senior research scientist, Ph.D.
