Abstract：
In 2021, the authors conducted a refined investigation of the loess sinkholes on the river terraces of Laozi Gully in Huining County, Gansu Province, using an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and a Hand-Held Laser Scanner (HLS). Digital orthophoto map of study area and 3D laser point cloud data of each sinkhole were acquired. In terms of post-processing of the data, the authors completed the interpretation of the sinkholes and the construction of the database in ArcGIS 10.5. They also carried out point cloud data processing, modeling, and volume calculation in CloudCompare, Geomagic Wrap 2021, and Python. The dataset includes: (1) basic geospatial data, which encompasses boundary of study area, distribution of sinkholes (polygons and points), UAS DOM and hillshade; (2) a morphological feature parameter table and soil erosion calculation attributes for 142 sinkholes, including 17 parameters such as ID, major axis, minor axis, elongation ratio, eccentricity, perimeter, area, volume, and soil loss, etc.; (3) field survey photos and videos; (4) refined LiDAR point cloud data for each sinkhole; (5) modeling data for typical sinkholes in CloudComapre; (6) a Python-based custom-developed volume calculation slicing scheme for each sinkhole, with results stored in the attribute table; (7) point cloud encapsulation model of each sinkhole constructed using Geomagic Wrap 2021, with volume calculation results stored in the attribute table. The dataset is archived in .JPG, .mp4, .bin, .txt, .wrp, .pdf, .xlsx, and .shp formats, and consists of 712 data files with data size of 1.59 GB (Compressed into 2 files with 1.16 GB). In the dataset, the point cloud data in .bin and .txt formats can be opened with the open-source software CloudCompare, while .wrp format model data can be utilized with Geomagic Wrap 2021.
