Digital elevation model (DEM) of Looe Key, Florida, 2021

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 03:50 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 05, 2022 at 12:00 AM
A digital elevation model (DEM) was created from underwater images collected at Looe Key, Florida, in July 2021 using the SQUID-5 camera system. The underwater images were processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques into a classified two-class ('unclassified' and 'low noise') 3D point cloud. The DEM was created in Metashape (ver. 1.6.6) from the point cloud, and includes points from both classes. The DEM covers a rectangular area of seafloor approximately 720x100 meters (0.072 square kilometers) in size and was saved as a tiled GeoTIFF raster at 1-centimeter resolution.
