LiDAR Data
LiDAR data for terrain interpretation, elevation analysis and GIS workflows.
Mapping led by Steve Dillon, ASPRS Certified Photogrammetrist #790
What is it?
LiDAR measures distances with laser pulses to produce three-dimensional data. Arrowhead provides LiDAR data within its mapping services. Define coverage, classification, density and required accuracy for the intended terrain, design or GIS use; collection and processing requirements are scoped per project.
Typical uses
- Terrain and elevation analysis
- Vegetation and surface interpretation

Frequently asked questions
What is LiDAR data?
LiDAR is three-dimensional distance data produced from laser measurements, often organized as a point cloud.
Does LiDAR always measure ground through vegetation?
No. Ground returns depend on gaps in vegetation, collection conditions and data density. Review coverage and ground classification for the intended use.
What should I include in a request?
State the site limits, intended use, required density and classification, coordinate system, accuracy and preferred data format.
