A common measure of the density of a lidar [light detection and ranging] dataset... NPD is the typical or average number of pulses occurring in a specified areal unit. The NPD is typically expressed as pulses per square meter(pls/m2). This value is predicted in mission planning and empirically calculated from the collected data, using only the first(or last) return points as surrogates for pulses... The term NPD is more commonly used in high-density collections(greater than 1 pls/m2), with its inverse, nominal pulse spacing(NPS), being used in low-density collections(less than or equal to 1 pls/m2). 2, record 1, English, - nominal%20pulse%20density

A common measure of the density of a lidar [light detection and ranging] dataset... NPS the typical or average lateral distance between pulses in a lidar dataset, typically expressed in meters and most simply calculated as the square root of the average area per first return point. This value is predicted in mission planning and empirically calculated from the collected data, using only the first(or last) return points as surrogates for pulses... The term NPS is more commonly used in low-density collections(greater than or equal to 1 meter NPS) with its inverse, nominal pulse density(NPD), being used in high-density collections(less than 1 meter NPS). 2, record 2, English, - nominal%20pulse%20spacing
