Whitby Airborne Coastal Surveying using LiDAR by GeoM 

Whitby Coastal Surveying by GeoM
Airborne coastal survey of Whitby Bay by GeoM for Durham University. The data was captured using a StreetMapper mobile mapping system (MMS) mounted onto a twin engine Jetranger helicopter.
Using a 360 degree mobile mapping scanner as opposed to a typical 60 degree field of view airborne scanner meant that we could get high resolution data of the cliff face as well as the ground.
24km of coastline was scanned in 2 hours from Whitby to Skinningrove. The flying speed was 40knots, height above ground 120m.
This resulted in an average point density 40pts/sq m (80pts/sq m on the cliff faces), and an average camera pixel size of 4cm. Absolute accuracy was better than 3cm.
