The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aircraft Scanners data set contains digital imagery acquired from several multispectral scanners, including Daedalus thematic mapper simulator scanners and the thermal infrared multispectral scanner. Data are collected from selected areas over the conterminous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii by NASA ER-2 and NASA C-130B aircraft, operating from the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, and by NASA Learjet aircraft, operating from Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Limited international acquisitions also are available. In cooperation with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Daedalus Enterprises,Inc., NASA developed several multispectral sensors. The data acquired from these sensors supports NASA's Airborne Science and Applications Program and have been identified as precursors to the instruments scheduled to fly on Earth Observing System platforms. THEMATIC MAPPER SIMULATOR The Thematic Mapper Simulator (TMS) sensor is a line scanning device designed for a variety of Earth science applications. Flown aboard NASA ER-2 aircraft, the TMS sensor has a nominal Instantaneous Field of View of 1.25 milliradians with a ground resolution of 81 feet (25 meters) at 65,000 feet. The TMS sensor scans at a rate of 12.5 scans per second with 716 pixels per scan line. Swath width is 8.3 nautical miles (15.4 kilometers) at 65,000 feet while the scanner's Field of View is 42.5 degrees. NS-001 MULTISPECTRAL SCANNER The NS-001multispectral scanner is a line scanning device designed to simulate Landsat thematic mapper (TM) sensor performance, including a near infrared/short-wave infrared band used in applications similar to those of the TM sensor (e.g., Earth resources mapping, vegetation/land cover mapping, geologic studies). Flown aboard NASA C-130B aircraft, the NS-001 sensor has a nominal Instantaneous Field of View of 2.5 milliradians with a ground resolution of 25 feet (7.6 meters) at 10,000 feet. The sensor has a variable scan rate (10 to 100 scans per second) with 699 pixels per scan line, but the available motor drive supply restricts the maximum stable scan speed to approximately 85 revolutions per second. A scan rate of 100 revolutions per second is possible, but not probable, for short scan lines; therefore, a combination of factors, including aircraft flight requirements and maximum scan speed, prevent scanner operation below 1,500 feet. Swath width is 3.9 nautical miles (7.26 kilometers) at 10,000 feet, and the total scan angle or field of regard for the sensor is 100 degrees, plus or minus 15 degrees for roll compensation. THERMAL INFRARED MULTISPECTRAL SCANNER The Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner (TIMS) sensor is a line scanning device originally designed for geologic applications. Flown aboard NASA C-130B, NASA ER-2, and NASA Learjet aircraft, the TIMS sensor has a nominal Instantaneous Field of View of 2.5 milliradians with a ground resolution of 25 feet (7.6 meters) at 10,000 feet. The sensor has a selectable scan rate (7.3, 8.7, 12, or 25 scans per second) with 698 pixels per scan line. Swath width is 2.6 nautical miles (4.8 kilometers) at 10,000 feet while the scanner's Field of View is 76.56 degrees.

Abstract

NielsenIQ Retail Scanner Data

Columbia has an agreement with the Kilts Center. Authorized faculty, graduate students, and research staff can apply to access this dataset.

Annual funding of the dataset is shared between the Program for Economic Research and the Libraries.

Funding for data analysis using the Columbia Data Platform is provided by the Program for Economic Research.

Usage

The Retail Scanner Data (also referred to as RMS data) consists of weekly pricing, volume, and store merchandising conditions generated by participating retail store point-of-sale systems in all US markets. Depending on the year, data are included from approximately 30,000-50,000 participating grocery, drug, mass merchandiser, and other stores. Products from all NielsenIQ-tracked categories are included in the data, such as food, non-food grocery items, health and beauty aids, and select general merchandise. Currently, the years 2006-2021 are included. We expect to update the data on an annual basis. Updates are expected to be available in the first quarter of each calendar year, and will always lag by 2 years (e.g. 2022 Retail Scanner data is expected to be released in Q1 of 2024).

There are three major types of files associated with the Retail Scanner Data: Stores, Product Description, and Movement (i.e., weekly sales and pricing). The Stores file contains information about each individual store location. The Product Description file contains information about each UPC. The Movement files contain the price and quantity of goods sold at specific stores on a specific week.

Track share of shelf, predict revenue surprises, and drill down into brand and category level performance by household demography across thousands of brands and hundreds of manufacturers. Scanner Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) data is sourced from thousands of retail stores and millions of underlying US households across grocery and drugstore chains. Available exclusively to investors.

In forest inventory, trees are usually measured by handheld instruments; among the most relevant are calipers, inclinometers, ultrasonic devices, and laser range finders. Traditional forest inventory is nowadays redesigned, since modern laser scanner technology became available. Laser scanner generate massive data in the form of 3D point clouds. Novel methodology is currently developed to provide estimates of the tree positions, stem diameters, and tree heights from these 3D point clouds. This dataset was made publicly accessible to test new software routines for the automatic measurement of forest trees using laser scanner data. Benchmark studies with performance tests of different algorithms are welcome. The dataset contains co-registered raw 3D point-cloud data collected on 20 forest inventory sample plots in Austria. The data was collected by two different laser scanning systems: (i) a mobile personal laser scanner (PLS) (ZEB Horizon, GeoSLAM Ltd., Nottingham, UK), and (ii) a static terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) (Focus3D X330, Faro Technologies Inc., Lake Mary, FL, USA). The data also contains digital terrain models (DTM), field measurements as reference data (“ground-truth”), and the output of recent software routines for the automatic tree detection and the automatic stem diameter measurement.
