Figure 2. LIDAR helicopter configuration. GPS control for sensor location, Inertial Measurement
Unit (IMU) for attitude angles to position each laser shot. Note the zig-zag pattern of LIDAR
ground shots as a result of the forward motion of the aircraft and the across-track beam displacement
by the oscillating mirror (from Webster et al., 2004).
