The Ontario Point Cloud (Lidar-Derived) consists of points containing elevation and intensity information derived from returns collected by an airborne topographic lidar sensor. It was designed to support agricultural soil map renewal for selected geographic areas. The data's coverage includes selected areas in southern Ontario (Peterborough, Lake Erie, Halton, Milton, Brampton, GTA, Peel, CLOCA, LEAP, CNS, York Region-Lake Simcoe Watershed, Ottawa River, Ottawa-Gatineau, Hamilton-Niagara, Lake Huron and Lake Simcoe), Eastern Ontario, and portions of northern Ontario (Lake Nipissing and Cochrane).
The point cloud has been classified into Unclassified, Ground, Water, High and Low Noise categories and is structured into non-overlapping 1-km by 1-km tiles in LAZ format. As this dataset is a compilation of LiDAR data from multiple acquisition projects, specifications, parameters, accuracy and sensors may vary by project. See the detailed User Guide and contractor metadata reports below for additional information.
