Title

LiDAR for Scotland Phase 3 - LAS

Abstract

The Scottish Public Sector LiDAR (Phase 3) was initially captured by Fugro for Scottish Power Energy Network (SPEN) in 2015 and 2016 and to monitor their overhead power cable network under their Virtual World Asset Management programme. In addition, two pilots flights were included flown on behalf of the Scottish Border Council project Whiteadder in 2019. The Scottish Government procured this dataset with a contribution from SEPA for public use in 2019. This dataset covers total 11, 772 square kilometres (note the dataset does not have full national coverage). This dataset reflects the LAS point cloud data with density of 4ppm (points per square metre).

Lineage

The LiDAR datasets was originally acquired by Fugro on behalf of Scottish Power Energy Network (SPEN) in 2015 and 2016 and the Scottish Border Council in 2019. The data were purchased by the Scottish Government and delivered by the end of 2019 in the following formats: LAS point cloud files at 4 points per metre, 50cm Digital Terrain Model in ASC grid format and 50cm Digital Surface Model in ASC grid format. The data were collected and processed using OSGM15 geoid model, OSTN15 horizontal transformation and Newlyn datum.
