Elevation Layers

This layer contains the DEM for LiDAR data from the Auckland region captured in 2013.
The DSM is available as layer Auckland Lidar 1m DSM (2013).
The index tiles are available as layer Auckland Lidar Index Tiles (2013).
The LAS point cloud and vendor project reports are available from OpenTopography.

Lidar was captured for Auckland Council by NZ Aerial Mapping & Aerial Surveying Limited. The capture of the data commenced on 17th July and was completed by the 23 November 2013. The datasets were generated by both ASL and NZAM. All raw point cloud data was produced by NZAM & ASL prior to data being sent to Genesys International for the data classification and product generation. The survey area includes the Auckland city urban area and adjacent rural land covering approximately 2250 square kilometers. Data management and distribution external to Auckland Council is managed by Land Information New Zealand.

Data comprises:
•DEM: 6423 asc files in NZTM projection, tiled into a 1:1,000 tile layout
•DSM: 6423 asc files in NZTM projection, tiled into a 1:1,000 tile layout
•Point cloud: 8224 las files in NZTM projection, tiled into a 1:1,000 tile layout

Data was collected at > 1.5 point/square metre point density. Attributes include:
-Elevation
-Intensity values
-Return number
-Adjusted GPS time
-Classification

Vertical accuracy specification is +/-0.2m (@ 95% confidence)
Horizontal accuracy specification is +/-0.6m (@ 95% confidence)

Verical Datum is NZVD2009

A structure on top of a hill, usually coloured black and white, used as a physical reference point by surveyors to determine location. The symbol shown on the map includes the elevation and trig identification code for beaconed trig stations.

Data Dictionary for trig_pnt: The NZ Topographic Data Dictionary is yet to be updated for trig points.

These topographic trig points are derived from New Zealand geodetic marks data which can also be accessed through the LINZ Data Service: NZ Geodetic Marks and NZ Geodetic Vertical Marks.
