LIDAR data collection involves mounting an airborne laser scanning system onboard an aircraft along with a kinematic Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to locate an x and y position and an inertial navigation system to monitor the pitch and roll of the aircraft. By accurately measuring the round trip travel time of the laser pulse from the
