Point cloud data of Lake Tahoe near Dollar Point

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:40 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 17, 2021 at 12:00 AM
Three-dimensional point clouds (LAZ format) were developed from underwater images collected near Dollar Point in Lake Tahoe, California, 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 'high noise') derived from the confidence values. 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
