Point cloud data of Eastern Dry Rocks coral reef, Florida, 2021

Metadata Updated: October 30, 2025

A three-dimensional point cloud (LAZ format) was developed from underwater images collected at Eastern Dry Rocks coral reef near Key West, Florida, in May 2021 using the SQUID-5 camera system and processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques. Point cloud data include x,y,z positions, RGB colors, Metashape-computed confidence values, and a two-class classification ('unclassified' and 'low noise') derived from the confidence values. LAS (and its compressed form, LAZ) is an open format developed for the efficient use of point cloud lidar data. A description of the LAZ format and links to software tools for using LAZ files are provided at the USGS website: https://www.usgs.gov/news/3d-elevation-program-distributing-lidar-data-laz-format
