Looking at some lidar data
The image shows a bit of the basemap for an orienteering map I've been working on. I prepared the basemap from laser scan (lidar) data that I got for free. I used OL Laser to create a "lutning" image. The "lutning" image seems to be the best base material for this sort of forest.
The circles show some of the features that I can pick up from the data and that I show in the video below. The dashed line is a very subtle linear feature. It is the remnants of an abandoned trail.
