Public Release of the World’s Densest Urban Laser Scanning Dataset

We are delighted to announce that our 2015 aerial laser scanning data are now freely and publicly available through NYU’s Spatial Data Repository.

From the press release:

“At over 300 points per square meter, this is more than 30 times denser than typical LiDAR data and is an order of magnitude denser than any other aerial LiDAR dataset. The dataset also includes the first ever urban scan with the fullwave form version of the data, as well as affiliated imagery and video. The unprecedented comprehensiveness of this multi-layered dataset enables new opportunities in exploration and modeling. It also sets a new standard for what can be collected and used by cities around the world”
