This LiDAR data is within Illinois Department of Transportation districts 1 and 3 covering Grundy, Kane and McHenry counties. The data is updated from its original format to LAS version 1.2. The LiDAR data was collected in April 2008. Task Order Number: 3. Data was acquired by Quantum Spatial as project 1080208 with an Optech ALTM 3100 sensor equipped with an inertial measuring unit (IMU) and GPS receiver. The acquisition was to produce bare earth ASCII, LAS data and 2 foot contour Shapefiles. Only the counties of Grundy, McHenry and Kane were included in the Digital Coast project, as the other nine counties are not directly related to NOAA OCM tools and internal products. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
