The objective of the Mapa 3D Digital da Cidade (M3DC) of the São Paulo City Hall is to publish LiDAR point cloud data. The initial data was acquired in 2017 by aerial surveying and future data will be added. This publicly accessible dataset is provided in the [Entwine Point Tiles](https://entwine.io/entwine-point-tile.html) format as a lossless octree, full density, based on [LASzip](https://laszip.org) (LAZ) encoding.

The ARPA-I INSIGHTS Dataset is a large-scale, high-density (~85 pts/m) geiger-mode aerial LiDAR dataset covering over 1,600 km across the Salt Lake City, UT and Denver, CO metropolitan regions, including major freeway corridors. Collected in June 2025, the dataset provides dense three-dimensional measurements with approximately 30 cm vertical and horizontal point spacing, enabling detailed representation of transportation infrastructure and surrounding urban environments. The data was acquired as part of a U.S. Department of Transportation ARPA-I-funded project, executed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory, to support state and regional transportation agencies. The dataset is designed to enable transportation digital twins, supporting virtual inspection, measurement, and inventory of infrastructure assets at corridor and regional scales. In addition to raw point clouds, the dataset includes annotated subsets for machine learning, with labeled classes for surface types (e.g., road, sidewalk,[...]
The goal of the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) is to collect elevation data in the form of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data over the conterminous United States, Hawaii, and the U.S. territories, with data acquired over an 8-year period. This dataset provides two realizations of the 3DEP point cloud data. The first resource is a public access organization provided in Entwine Point Tiles format, which a lossless, full-density, streamable octree based on LASzip (LAZ) encoding. The second resource is a Requester Pays of the original, Raw LAZ (Compressed LAS) 1.4 3DEP format, and more complete in coverage, as sources with incomplete or missing CRS, will not have an ETP tile generated. Resource names in both buckets correspond to the USGS project names.
This dataset is Lidar data that has been collected by the Scottish public sector and made available under the Open Government Licence. The data are available as point cloud (LAS format or in LAZ compressed format), along with the derived Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM) products as Cloud optimized GeoTIFFs (COG) or standard GeoTIFF. The dataset contains multiple subsets of data which were each commissioned and flown in response to different organisational requirements.
