| description:
|
The site archives raw lidar point cloud data in LAS format. Through an interactive map, users can identify the regions of the state where lidar data are available. By delineating a polygon on the map, users can select lidar point cloud tiles, and download them in a single group.
The site includes access to more than 10 different lidar acquisitions. New data will be added to the site as they become available.
Raw lidar point cloud data represent valuable information regarding topography as well as objects on the ground, such as buildings. Lidar is used in many industries, including mining, oil and gas exploration, and forestry and is a key data set for planning. By archiving this raw information, and making it freely available, researchers, industry, and the public, will have access to key geospatial information.
West Virginia View is sponsored by AmericaView and the USGS. The lidar download tool, which was created by the WV GIS Technical center, is available at wvgis.wvu.edu/lidar. The cooperation of the WV Department of Environmental Protection Technical Applications and GIS Unit (TAGIS) is gratefully acknowledged. For more information about the Lidar download tool, please contact Tim Warner at Tim.Warner@mail.wvu.edu.
