The Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) LAS dataset is a topographic survey conducted for the Post Hurricane Gustav and Post Hurricane Ike Aerial Survey 2009 projects. Hurricane Gustav made US landfall at Cocodrie, LA on September 1, 2008. Hurricane Ike made US landfall near Galveston, TX on September 13, 2008. This data was produced for the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX). The LiDAR point cloud was flown at a density sufficient to support a maximum final post spacing of 1.5 points per meter. The data are classified according to ASPRS LAS specifications as: 1 (Unclassified), 2 (Ground), 3 (Low Vegetation) 4 (Medium Vegetation), 5 (High Vegetation), 6 (Building), 7 (Low Point (Noise)), and 9 (Water). 3001 International Inc. acquired the 290 flightlines between February 3, 2009 and April 23, 2009. The Post Hurricane Gustav and Post Hurricane Ike Aerial Surveys 2009 were collected under the guidance of a Professional Mapper/Surveyor.
