San Francisco - Perspective

Preview of LIDAR Relief rendering of San Francisco - Perspective

A rendering of San Francisco, California, in the United States.

Digital Surface Model elevation data from a conversion of LIDAR pointcloud data provided by OCM Partners, 2023: 2010 ARRA Lidar: Golden Gate (CA), https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/49640.

Note: original LIDAR data was captured in 2010, and the data was fairly noisy, with numerous artefacts which needed to be cleaned up / removed manually, in particular around the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge.
