Two goals today. One is to verify the location of the GPS points being collected in the waveform LiDAR imagery, the second is work more on the laser methods.
The GPS points seem excellent, as their standard deviation shows. Their elevation (Z coordinates) match those of the modeled elevation from the LiDAR image. See below. The flows of lava seen in this topography below the points is pretty cool. now thousands of years old.
As does the general locations within the gaps and tree canopies, as seen below.
