CT 2023 Elevation Lidar Intensity

This image service is available through CTECO, a partnership between UConn CLEAR and CT DEEP. This layer is lidar point intensity covering the state of Connecticut. Lidar intensity is a measure of the return strength of each lidar point. Here, the points are converted to 1 foot pixels and values range from 1-256 where low numbers are low reflectivity and high numbers are high reflectivity. Intensity in influenced by reflectivity of the surface at the sensor wavelength (here, 1064nm which is near-infrared), view angle, range, surface composition, roughness, and moisture content and should therefore be used as a relative measure. Intensity is not influenced by sunlight or shadows. Visit the CT ECO Map and Image Services page for a complete list of available elevation services.
