Minneapolis LiDAR

Equator is pleased to announce the launch of the Minneapolis LiDAR dataset in Equator. The Minneapolis LiDAR data set covers approximately 19,400 ha and was collected in 2016. This high-resolution elevation data, provided through Equator, provides significant capabilities for city builders, such as civil engineers, architects and construction professionals.

The Minneapolis LiDAR data set has been launched in entwine format on the Equator platform, allowing LiDAR point cloud data to be streamed to the user online in real-time. This is consistent with Equator’s mission to improve access to and usability of high-resolution elevation data.
