Coosa River Bank Topography and Comparisons at Logan Martin Dam sites LM102 and LM108, near Vincent, Alabama, October 2014 - July 2017

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-08-21T00:00:00Z
These datasets contain XYZ locations and other attributes of points from topographic bank surveys of sites LM102 and LM108 downstream from Logan Martin Dam near Vincent, Alabama, from October 16, 2014, through July 18, 2017. Topographic data were collected using a tripod-based terrestrial LiDAR (T-LiDAR) system at several tripod setups distributed throughout the reach. Data collection software integrated and stored the range and angular measurements from the T-LiDAR. PolyWorks software was utilized to process the raw data, align the various scans in reference to one another, and extract the topography data in a useable format. Point cloud comparison software was then used to compute the distance and volume gain or loss between surveys.
