Contour and LIDAR data

Description | Sample | Available data and cost

Description

We provide contour lines (lines that connect points on a map that have the same elevation). These contours are drawn on a map at a uniform vertical interval. They describe the vertical information in a topographic map.

Recent acquisition of LIDAR (light detection and ranging) data from an airborne scanning laser, has generated more precise topographic data such as height point measurement of the terrain and the above ground objects such as buildings and trees. In addition heights of the intertidal areas of the main harbours are also available.

The extent of the acquisition of this type of data covered the whole Auckland region. In urban areas higher specifications of terrain data (0.5m contour interval) was produced in comparison to the rural areas (1.0m contour interval).
