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.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of this data see GEO Support – Large Data Ordering Instructions. Data can be requested by project or by package within each project. To determine which package contains your area of interest zoom in on the map above and click. You will need to provide a large enough hard drive for the data to be copied onto. Data sizes are listed below.
The Ontario Raw Point Cloud (Imagery-Derived) was created using a pixel-autocorrelation process based on aerial photography collected by the imagery contractor for the Geospatial Ontario (GEO) imagery program. The dataset consists of overlapping tiles in LAZ format and is 8.29 terabytes in size. Tiles for some projects 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.
For more detailed information about this dataset, refer to the associated User Guide.
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. See the Ontario Digital Elevation Model (Imagery-Derived) for a representation of bare earth and the Ontario Digital Surface Model (Imagery-Derived) for a model representing all surface features.
