Surveying surface of the Earth with LiDAR technology is increasing, thereby the database of LiDAR data is constantly increasing.
And some databases are openly available on the internet. In the vast majority of a LiDAR surveys were and are undertaken by various government agencies of various countries around the world. Openly available LiDAR data in available in different formats, coordinate systems and state of processing (from the cleaned point cloud data to the digital terrain model of the ground).
On the internet you can find many different lists of digital terrain models of ground (DTM) and LiDAR data recording, but almost all receive an irregular update and are therefore deficient.
I encourage people to try different LiDAR data to try something new. In addition to new technical GIS knowledge you will gain it is also fun to discover new archaeological sites or view the famous archaeological sites from LiDAR “view” in other countries.
Conditions for making to the list are:
- free access to files
- files are already classified lidar data (files with the extension .LAS, .LAZ, .zLAS, .ASC, .XYZ)
- a digital terrain model of resolution 5m or less (files with the extension .GeoTIFF, .ASC, .IMAGE, .DEM)
!When ftp server is available use of ftp client is recommended. Here is guide how to setup open-source ftp client FileZilla.
I will check list monthly and update it regularly. At the bottom of the list there is a changelog for with all changes and additions.
If you have any trouble getting data from internet sites on this list, leave a message on the comments and I'll help.
If you know the source I missed or it is brand new, leave a message in the comments and I'll be happy to check it in and add it to the list.
