boundaries: A boundary, also known as an Area of Interest (AOI) or border, that defines the area covered by the data. classified_points: Classified point cloud data are provided in LAZ format. Data are classified following ASPRS 2025 guidelines and contain return and intensity information. For classified ground points, the average point density is 308.1 pts/m2, and the average spacing is 5.7 cm. dsm: The DSM represents surface elevations, including vegetation heights. The DSM is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 5-cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38 (32-bit, floating-point minimum). dtm: The DTM represents bare-earth or snow-surface elevations, excluding vegetation. The DTM is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 5-cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38. footprints: Footprints for tiled data. lidar_intensity: The lidar intensity image describes the relative amplitude of reflected signals that contribute 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 5-cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38.
