2015 LiDAR – Bare Earth

Published by City of Washington, DC | District of Columbia | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-10-31T16:33:19.000Z
Bare Earth Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Data - 2 foot resolution. The dataset contains locations and attributes of bare earth elevations in meters. Bare earth model is created by identifying those returns that fall on the ground surface and interpolating a surface between these points. In this manner buildings and vegetation are removed from Bare Earth Model. This data set does not include bridges and overpasses in the Bare Earth model as the delineation point for these structures is not reliably discernible in the LiDAR data. This metadata record describes the data products derived from the LiDAR data for the DC OCTO 2015 LiDAR project covering approximately 80 square miles, in which its extents cover Arlington County in Washington DC. This project consists of deliverables in accordance with USGS v1.2 specifications and meets or exceeds the level of quality for QL1 (8 points per meter).
