The average intensity value (range 0-255) within each raster cell is calculated and assigned as the pixel value. The resultant rasters are 1-byte, single-band with a pixel size of 1 meter (3.28 ft). Each raster was clipped to the LiDAR production tile index with a 1-pixel over-edge. LIDAR data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a combination of laser range finding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; LIDAR instruments are able to make highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEM) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. This data was collected at a resolution to aid in flood plain analysis and mapping.<div><br /><div>These data represent the individual surface returns created by laser energy from the LiDAR sensor reflected from the first surface encountered by the laser pulse. Some energy may continue beyond this initial surface to be reflected by a subsequent surface as represented by the Last Return data. Intensity information is captured from the Reflective Surface pulse and indicates the relative energy returned to the sensor as compared to the energy transmitted. The Intensity image is not calibrated or normalized but indicates differences in energy absorption due to the interaction of the surface materials with laser energy at the wavelength transmitted by the sensor. Points are classified as water, bare ground or not bare ground to support creation of a bare earth model from the data.</div></div>
