Thank you very much for your reply. We are required to produce deliverables including orthoimagery, lidar point clouds, tiled maps of intensity, DEM, and breaklines.
We mentioned to the Dept of Conservation that a ground based scan would be best, but they were adamant that they wanted data gathered from the air. They are simply uninformed about the reality of scanning in this environment, however, we must do our best within the given constraints, and are apprehensive about switching in the middle of a project, to a lidar system with which we are completely unfamiliar.
Hi Candarco,
we are using DJI M300RTK and DJI Zenmuse L1 for projects similar to your one.
Apparently you are interested about GROUND data too, to be able to generate a DEM.
I think that to receive an help you should publish a wide angle photo of the canopy taken from the ground and a KML file with the study area perimeter. The canopy density is essential to judge the possibility to use ALS for mapping the terrain under so high and dense canopies.
Moreover, it could be helpfull if you upload a small sample of your HOWERMAP LiDAR dataset over the redwood forests.
L1 can operate up to 120 meters, if you can do a trial, I suggest you to fly just 10-15 meters above the canopy, at low speed (about 5 m/s or less), using the the NON-Repetitive scanning mode, 160 kHz freq., triple return mode, 50% side overlap.
