boundaries: A boundary, also known as an Area of Interest (AOI) or border, that defines the area covered by the data. Also includes footprints for tiled data. classified_points: Classified point cloud data are provided in LAZ format. Data are classified following ASPRS 2019 guidelines and contain return and intensity information. For classified ground points, the average point density is 8.8 pts/m2, and the average spacing is 33.6 cm; within the higher-density region, the average ground point density is 18.6 pts/m2, and the average spacing is 23.2 cm. dsm: The DSMs represent surface elevations, including heights of vegetation, buildings, powerlines, pipes, bridge decks, etc. The overall DSM is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 50-cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38 (32-bit, floating-point minimum). The DSM from the higher pulse density area is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 20-cm resolution, with a No Data value of -3.40282306074e+38. dtm: The DTMs represent bare earth elevations, excluding vegetation, bridge decks, buildings, etc. The overall DTM is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 50-cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38. The DTM from the higher pulse density area is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 20-cm resolution, with a No Data value of -3.40282306074e+38. lidar_intensity: The lidar intensity image describes the relative amplitude of reflected signals contributing to the point cloud. Lidar intensity is (1) primarily a function of scanned object reflectance in relation to the signal frequency, (2) dependent on ambient conditions, and (3) not necessarily consistent between separate scans. The intensity image is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 50-cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38.
