Study Reach 4 Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging Topographic Data in Caulks Creek, Wildwood, Missouri, 2022–2023

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 16, 2025 | Last Modified: 20240826
Topographic data were collected along study reach 4 in Caulks Creek in Wildwood, Missouri, on multiple dates, using terrestrial light detection and ranging (t-lidar), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and conventional surveying techniques (Rydlund and Densmore, 2012). These data are high-resolution topography in laser scan format, collected using a tripod mounted t-lidar at multiple scan setups. Data collection software integrated and stored the range and angular measurements from the t-lidar equipment. Computer software was used to process the raw data, align the various scans in reference to one another, classify the data, and extract the topography data in a useable format. The topographic data are provided in for the entire reach for each of the four survey dates (March 2022, July 2022, March 2023, and July 2023). The data represent the channel, bank, and near overbank surface and were saved with RGB (red-green-blue) color in LAS format.
