Process_Description: 
GPS/INS Processing:  During the flight, GPS and INS data was logged on board the aircraft.  Simultaneously, GPS data was logged by a stationary reference station on the ground.  After completion of the flight, this data was post-processed using Applanix POSPac v4.4 to generate a smoothed best estimate trajectory (SBET).

Process_Description: 
DashMap/TerraSolid:  The raw laser range data was combined with the SBET to create the raw point cloud using Optech's DashMap software package.  Once the LAS point cloud is created, TerraSolid's TerraMatch software is used to measure and apply small adjustments to the system's orientation angles in order to ensure proper alignment of data between flight lines.
