ISO/TS 19124-4

This document defines the calibration and validation of Earth observing data acquired by Lidar sensors and products derived from Lidar data. The specified Lidar data include waveform and point cloud modes.

In this document, the term calibration refers to the process to correct the Lidar data, not only geometrically and radiometrically, but also characteristically for land, ice, forest, water and atmosphere applications, and the term validation refers to the process to evaluate the quality and accuracy of the calibrated data and derived products.

This document also addresses the associated metadata related to calibration and validation that has not been defined in other ISO geographic information standards.

This document does not address the calibration of Lidar sensors and validation of Lidar sensor calibration, which are covered by ISO 19159-2.
