| | LiDAR - 2021 - Regional PGF | The PGF lidar 2021 dataset is a whole-of-region lidar acquisition captured Jan-March 2021. The dataset was acquired as a collaborative venture between LINZ, Waikato Regional Council and affected District Councils. The dataset was flown with the intension to cover the region with laser height sampling points at a rate of 4 pulses per square meter (but with achieved point density varying in dense vegetation), and at a height accuracy of 0.2m with respect to the NZVD2016 datum at 95% confidence (0.1 m RMSE). The dataset was flown in blocks that dissect the region into manageable chunks, and currently the lidar is stored by Council according to these as-supplied blocks. A future plan is to integrate the blocks into a single regional dataset record.
The dataset comprises 4 core products – a digital elevation model (DEM) providing a 1m tiled grid (tif) of ground heights; a digital surface model (DSM) providing a 1m tiled grid of surface topmost height (e.g., the top of vegetation); a tiled classified point cloud (PC); and a set of half-meter cartographic contours. Tiling of DEM, DSM and PC is according to the LINZ 1K tile dataset here: https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/104692-nz-11k-tile-index/
The lidar data was collected according to the specification listed in the January 2020 version of the LINZ lidar national specification document (the current version can be found here):
https://www.linz.govt.nz/resources/guide/new-zealand-national-aerial-lidar-base-specification
For access to the data by external parties, the DEM, DSM products are available at the LINZ data service here and the PC can be downloaded here:
Derived products under development by WRC include a normalised digital surface model (nDSM) as the calculation of DSM-DEM providing the height of vegetation and other surface material above ground level; an intensity raster providing a location-accurate black and white image of object position; a watershed and river network resource; a hydraulically corrected DEM for flood modelling; a slope-segmentation layer; and set of half-meter engineering contours (the core product contours are cartographic/smoothed for clean interpretation). These and others will be added to the feature set listed under this metadata item as the products are completed.
