BASICS OF LIDAR�_,
r
What is LiDAR? • • f•
Light Detection and Ranging is a remot ='�>Z4'; ++— "'•a "`
sensing method that uses light in form of ,.
pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable
distances) to the Earth. The light pulses—
combined with other data recorded by the
plane generate precise, three-dimensional
information about the shape of the Earth ❑DAR point cloud of u5 Capital Building
and its surface characteristics.
ROJECT COST AND DELIVERABLES
lit 's portion for the LiDAR Project is $10,000.00 at QLl (8 points per meter square) ISI
ote: if the city contracted for LiDAR individually of QLI the cosi would be over $20,000.00

• Classified Point Cloud (for each level of points features are identified such as
bare earth, vegetation, buildings, etc...)
