These files contain classified topo/bathy lidar data. Data are classified as 1 (valid non-ground topographic data), 2 (valid ground topographic data), and 29 (valid bathymetric data). Classes 1 and 2 are defined in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards. These data were collected by the Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar (CZMIL) system. CZMIL integrates a lidar sensor with simultaneous topographic and bathymetric capabilities, a digital camera and a hyperspectral imager on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities. Native lidar data is not generally in a format accessible to most Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Specialized in-house and commercial software packages are used to process the native lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis. The 3-D position data are sub-divided into a series of LAS files, which are tiled into quarter-quads or 5km boxes. In addition to the lidar point data, bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) at a 1 meter grid size are available. These data are available from the NOAA Digital Coast at: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataviewer/#/lidar/search/where:ID=5154 Original contact information: Contact Org: JALBTCX Title: Data Production Manager Phone: 228-252-1131 Email: JALBTCX@usace.army.mil This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
