Laser data Download, NH

Laser data Download, NH consists of a classified LiDAR point cloud with a point density of 0.5–1 points per square meter, down to 0.25 points per square meter in the bare mountain areas. Previously, the product was called Laser data NH. Scanning started in 2009 - completed in 2019. The product name in Swedish is Laserdata Nedladdning, NH.

About this product

The LiDAR points are classified into four classes, see the example picture. The points are coloured as follows:

  • Ground (orange)
  • Water (blue)
  • Bridges (yellow)
  • Unclassified (White)

All points that cannot be classified as ground, bridge or water. i.e. buildings or vegetation are coded as unclassified.

Maintenance and update frequency

Laser Data NH is complete and covering the entire country. The point cloud is a snapshot and there is no plan for updating of already scanned areas.

Test data from combi sensor

During the late summer of 2021, Lantmäteriet tested a combined laser scanner and flight camera. The purpose was mainly to increase knowledge about the collection of laser data. A combination sensor of the type Leica Terrainmapper-2 was used to collect various test cases. A selection is published here as test data, laser data with four color bands as well as aerial images and orthophotos.
