Quality

Quality check of data currently underway. The laser scanner has a range precision in the centimetre scale, and the INS data will be differentially post-processed to provide a centimetre scale location precision. Both INS and laser scanner datasets are in raw format. An included software program is available to read the INS data, but there is no accompanying program for the laser scanner data at this time. It is anticipated that these datasets will be available in ASCII format in the near future. A pdf excerpt from the laser scanner user instructions is also included in the download file.
