Virginia LiDARThe Virginia LiDAR Inventory Web Mapping Application provides access to LiDAR point cloud and individual project metadata collected in the Commonwealth of Virginia according to the USGS 3DEP specification. Data is obtained from NOAA and USGS data portals. LiDAR Point Clouds are compressed for file storage and transfer. Informational Access Type:1) LiDAR Project Metadata: To download individual LiDAR project Metadata, click on a LiDAR inventory polygon for link to the host FTP site. Once at the host site, locate appropriate directory and .zip file to receive project documentation and accompanying project files. For use within ArcGIS, the geospatial grid and inventory data powering the VGIN LiDAR download inventory services can be downloaded under conversion and analysis resources below.2) LiDAR Point Clouds (Single): To download individual tiles, zoom in on the map until the tile grid appears. The VGIN Composite Geocoding service is available to use when querying by physical address, feature, or community anchor institution name. Click a tile to identify grid information for individual LiDAR Point clouds. Columns note where the LiDAR is hosted and what format is available for download. In many instances, multiple results are returned due to multiple file formats and flight years. If LiDAR data is missing spatial reference information please refer to the metadata in step 1 above. Tile grids are stacked so you will need to scroll through selections:3) LiDAR Point Clouds (Bulk): To download multiple files in a single FTP directory folder, which can be a necessity in many instances, consider the use of a multi-file download manager plugin to use with your browser in conjunction with the URLs provided on the LiDAR inventory polygon. If LiDAR data is missing spatial reference information please refer to the metadata in step 1 above.
