Description
LIDAR data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a
combination of laser rangefinding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; LIDAR instruments are able to make
highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. This data was
collected at submeter resolution to provide nominal 1m spacing of collected points. Two returns were recorded for each pulse
in addition to an intensity value.
