LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances to the Earth. This produces 3-dimensional information about the shape of the Earth and its surface characteristics. This dataset encompasses South Humber Park and King’s Mill Park in Toronto, Ontario between Bloor St. W. and the Gardiner Expressway. It includes “bare earth” and “full feature” point clouds which depict the ground surface and built environment (man-made and natural), respectively. Accompanying the data are 50cm contours. The data is divided into 500m x 500m tiles following the UTM Grid System.
