Resource Abstract:
Lidar (Light detection and ranging) discrete-return point cloud data are available in the American Society for Photogrammetry
and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) LAS format. The LAS format is a standardized binary format for storing 3-dimensional point cloud
data and point attributes along with header information and variable length records specific to the data. Millions of data
points are stored as a 3-dimensional data cloud as a series of x (longitude), y (latitude) and z (elevation) points. A few
older projects in this collection are in ASCII format. Please refer to http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html
for additional information.

purpose:
High-resolution digital elevation maps generated by airborne and stationary LiDAR have led to significant advances in geomorphology,
the branch of geoscience concerned with the origin and evolution of Earth's surface topography. LiDAR provides unique characteristics
relative to other remotely sensed data sources by providing three-dimensional feature information that cannot be derived from
traditional imaging sensors.
