About This Visualization
Two approaches to urban mapping. Left shows vector-based 3D buildings from OSM, good for visualization. Right displays raw LIDAR sensor data with 3.5 million points at ±15cm accuracy.
I merged two adjacent 1km tiles (TQ3780 + TQ3880) from the UK Environment Agency's April 2012 survey of Canary Wharf, London. Original dataset had 9 million points. I then downsampled to 3.5M and converted to PLY format for web delivery at 50MB.
Dataset: UK EA LIDAR | 2012-04-02 | 2.0 km² | ~8 pts/m²
