OpenTopography

LiDAR Point Cloud Data Distribution and Processing

The OpenTopography Portal provides an end-to-end system for the distribution and processing (DEM generation) of LiDAR topography data. The system harnesses cyberinfrastructure developed by the GEON Project to allow users to define a custom query on the point cloud and then to download or process the data returned by this query. The goal of the system is to provide a web-based toolset that can democratize access to massive and potentially computationally challenging community LiDAR topography data sets.

You are currently using the OpenTopography point cloud processing system as a guest. Your jobs are limited to 50 million points. In order to have access to an archive of your jobs, the ability to track your jobs as they run and other features, please login or request an account.
