A few weeks ago, we completed the third LiDAR coverage of Catalonia based on flights made between 2021 and 2023, and with a much higher degree of detail than the previous ones (minimum density of 8 points/m^², compared to 0.5 points/m^² of the two previous coverages).

This information, which can be downloaded for free, has many applications, both scientific and for land planning and management. We highlight the creation of three-dimensional digital models of the terrain, the study of vegetation and the development of volumetric studies (buildings, garbage dumps, quarries...).
