LiDAR - Digital models (terrain, canopy, slope)
__The link: * Access the data directory is available in the sectionDataset description sheets; Additional information. Products derived from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) are generated as part of the [__provincial LiDAR sensor data acquisition project] (https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/documents/forets/inventaire/Analyse_retombees_LiDAR-Finale.pdf). It is therefore to facilitate the use of raw LiDAR data and optimize its benefits that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) generated and made available products derived from LiDAR in a user-friendly format. LiDAR technology accurately provides ground altitude, forest cover height (canopy), and slopes. Here is the list of four derived products: + Digital terrain model (spatial resolution: 1 m) + Digital terrain model in shaded relief (spatial resolution: 2 m) + Canopy height model (spatial resolution: 1 m) + Slopes (spatial resolution: 2 m) By 2022, the territory covered by these data will be the majority of southern Quebec (south of the 52nd parallel). These products are distributed by map sheet at a scale of 1/20,000. Note: The resolution of these four accessible products has been slightly degraded in visualization in the interactive map to ensure efficient display.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).*
