First surface measurements on the beach of Raversijde

In the summer of 2013, the Geography Department (3D Data Acquisition Cluster) of the University of Ghent, made a large number of height measurements in the tidal area on the beach of Raversijde. Various measuring techniques (mobile and static laser scanning, topographic measurements with total station and GNSS as well as 3D modelling using photographs) were applied during the survey to allow a comparative study of different techniques. From the study and related measurements, the MTLS technique appeared especially appropriate for making digital surface models of tidal zones.
