The Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) dataset is a survey of the Suwannee River project area in Florida. The entire survey area encompasses 1,151 square miles. The LiDAR point cloud was flown at a nominal post spacing of 1.4 meters for unobscured areas. The LiDAR data and derivative products produced are in compliance with the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Guidelines and Base Specifications, Version 13-ILMF 2010. The flightlines were acquired by Digital Aerial Solutions, which required 9 subsequent missions between the dates of January 3, 2011, and January 30, 2011. Derivative products from the aerial aquisition include: Raw point cloud data in LAS v1.2, classified point cloud data in LAS v1.2, bare earth surface (raster DEM ERDAS IMG format), hydro-flattened breaklines, control points, and FGDC compliant XML metadata.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
