Ontario Raw Point Cloud (Imagery-Derived)
The Ontario Raw Point Cloud (Imagery-Derived) is elevation point cloud data created from aerial photography from the Geospatial Ontario (GEO) imagery program. It was created using a pixel-autocorrelation process based on aerial photography collected by the imagery contractor for the GEO imagery program. The dataset consists of overlapping tiles in LAZ format and is 6.29 terabytes in size. Tiles are overlapping because the pixel-autocorrelation process extracts elevation values from overlapping stereo photo strips. No classification has been applied to the point cloud, however they are encoded with colour (RGB) values from the source photography. This data is for geospatial tech specialists, and is used by government, municipalities, conservation authorities and the private sector for land use planning and environmental analysis. __Related data__ For a product in non-overlapping tiles with a ground classification applied, see the Ontario Classified Point Cloud (Imagery-Derived). Raster derivatives have been created from the point clouds for some imagery projects. These products may meet your needs and are available for direct download.
