This data represents LiDAR elevation information for the City of Sheboygan, Wisconsin in 2009. The following derivative products are available: bare earth points, classified LAS, and citywide DEM.
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.
Supplemental Information
Data is available for download from: https://web.s3.wisc.edu/wsco-wisconsinview/lidar/Sheboygan/City_of_Sheboygan_2009_Delivery/ Bare Earth Points: Bare earth LiDAR is digital elevation data of the terrain surface consisting of irregularly spaced points, each with x/y location coordinates and z-value. The data have been subjected to automated and manual editing to remove vegetation, buildings, and other man-made structures. Classified LAS: Point classification using semi-automated techniques on the point cloud to assign the feature type associated with each point. Lidar points can be classified into a number of categories including bare earth or ground, top of canopy, and water. The different classes are defined using numeric integer codes in the LAS files. Citywide Digital Elevation Model (DEM): A DEM represents the bare-Earth surface, removing all natural and built features. The dataset contains a single file covering the entire city.
