Data request: improving drone forest quality assessments

Groups

Hi all, 

I'm currently working on a project to improve forest quality assessments using drones. We would like to get hold of LiDAR and UAV datasets from the same place, ideally from a Southeast Asian forest... but I would be extremely happy with anything. 

I'm currently in the final stages of writing up a scientific article and would really value this collaboration as it will make the work much more valuable to the overall conservation community. If you have these data and are happy to share... with potential for co-authorship (dependant on the contribution) please do get in touch.  

The UAV data must be of sufficient quality to produce digital surface models (DSM) using structure from motion. If you already have the DSMs and point clouds even better.
