Josh, I've been working on the Wright Creek LiDAR data and need to finish working on optimizing the generation of the bare earth topographical layer from the LiDAR data. Preliminary work shows quite a few trees in the 140's, a few in the 150's, and possibly one around 171 feet tall. This software is pretty cool. I can measure individual trees, color by tree height, etc.
I need to verify if any are outliers or noise but would like to ground check some. I also haven't checked out much of the creek yet. Did you GPS any of the trees when you were there? If so, can you enter a user coordinate system in your GPS? I'm working in State Plane for NC in feet, the form that the LiDAR data comes in. I can give you info on how to set up user coordinate systems in your GPS if you used it there. Otherwise, I'll have to find a way to convert the coordinates myself - easier to do with the more expensive GIS software.
