LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology, i.e. the technology is not in direct contact with what is being measured. From satellite, aeroplane or helicopter, a LiDAR system sends a light pulse to the ground. This pulse hits the ground and returns back to a sensor on the system. The time is recorded to measure how long it takes for this light to return. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Knowing this time measurement scientists are able to create topography maps.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

LiDAR data are collected as points (X,Y,Z (x & y coordinates) and z (height)). The data is then converted into gridded (GeoTIFF) data to create a Digital Terrain Model and Digital Surface Model of the earth. This LiDAR data was collected in 2011.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Digital Terrain Models (DTM) are bare earth models (no trees or buildings) of the Earth<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u2019<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>s surface.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Digital Surface Models (DSM) are earth models in its current state. For example, a DSM includes elevations from buildings, tree canopy, electrical power lines and other features.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Hillshading is a method which gives a 3D appearance to the terrain. It shows the shape of hills and mountains using shading (levels of grey) on a map, by the use of graded shadows that would be cast by high ground if light was shining from a chosen direction.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

This data shows the hillshade of the DSM.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

This data was collected by the Office of Public Works. All data formats are provided as GeoTIFF rasters. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Raster data is another name for gridded data. Raster data stores information in pixels (grid cells). Each raster grid makes up a matrix of cells (or pixels) organised into rows and columns. OPW data has a grid cell size of 2 meter by 2 meter. This means that each cell (pixel) represents an area of 2 meter squared.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "geometryType": null, "copyrightText": "Contains Irish Public Sector Data (Geological Survey Ireland & the Office of Public Works) licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence.", "parentLayer": null, "subLayers": [], "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "defaultVisibility": true, "extent": { "xmin": 433986.29259923403, "ymin": 563065.656650217, "xmax": 734922.292599234, "ymax": 952979.656650217, "spatialReference": { "wkid": 2157, "latestWkid": 2157, "xyTolerance": 0.001, "zTolerance": 2.0E-4, "mTolerance": 2.0E-4, "falseX": -5022200, "falseY": -15179500, "xyUnits": 4.503464523434792E8, "falseZ": -100000, "zUnits": 10000, "falseM": -100000, "mUnits": 10000 } }, "hasAttachments": false, "htmlPopupType": "esriServerHTMLPopupTypeNone", "displayField": "", "typeIdField": null, "subtypeFieldName": null, "subtypeField": null, "defaultSubtypeCode": null, "fields": null, "geometryField": {}, "indexes": [], "subtypes": [], "relationships": [], "canModifyLayer": false, "canScaleSymbols": false, "hasLabels": false, "capabilities": "Map,Query", "supportsStatistics": false, "supportsExceedsLimitStatistics": false, "supportsAdvancedQueries": false, "supportedQueryFormats": "JSON, geoJSON, PBF", "isDataVersioned": false, "ownershipBasedAccessControlForFeatures": {"allowOthersToQuery": true}, "useStandardizedQueries": true, "advancedQueryCapabilities": { "useStandardizedQueries": true, "supportsStatistics": false, "supportsPercentileStatistics": false, "supportsHavingClause": false, "supportsOrderBy": false, "supportsDistinct": false, "supportsCountDistinct": false, "supportsPagination": false, "supportsTrueCurve": true, "supportsQueryWithDatumTransformation": true, "supportsReturningQueryExtent": true, "supportsQueryWithDistance": true, "supportsSqlExpression": false }, "supportsDatumTransformation": true, "dateFieldsTimeReference": null, "hasMetadata": true, "isDataArchived": false, "archivingInfo": { "supportsQueryWithHistoricMoment": false, "startArchivingMoment": -1 }, "supportsCoordinatesQuantization": true, "supportsDynamicLegends": true, "serviceItemId": "7af744f9380e43dd9d03543acc2659de" }
