Airborne laser acquisition of cross-section dataThe feasibility of obtaining cross-section data from airborne remote sensing systems is investigated. Eleven test profiles in the Wolf River Basin, near Memphis, Tennessee, are selected. Each profile is characterized using conventional ground survey methods; under 'leaves-off' conditions, photogrammetric, airborne laser, and airborne radar data are obtained. Results indicate that valley profiles can be accurately characterized with an airborne laser system.
