First Return DEM
Bare Earth DEM Calculations
1. Identify man made structures
• Determine ground elevation at edges
2. Identify vegetated areas
• Search for ground points within area
3. Identify open areas
4. Interpolate between available points
5. Filtering and clean-up
Bare Earth DEM
Automatically extracted Bare Earth DEM
• Ground surface with vegetation and man-made structures removed
• Critical for terrain and hydrology modeling

Raw vs. Edited LiDAR Contours
Contours from raw LiDAR data Contours from raw LiDAR data with photogrammetric edits
Types of LiDAR DTM & Contours
Level I• Classified to bare earth, automated generation
Level II• Classified to bare earth
• Automated, minimal cartographic edits
Level III• Classified to bare earth
• Break lines added to hydrology
• Similar cartographic edits of Level II
Level IV (Specified contour accuracy)• Classified to bare earth
• Full break line enhancement
• Full cartographic edits

Contours from LiDAR Data
■ Understand the various data available
■ Understand the cost associated with additional editing and processing
■ Discuss the project requirements with your LiDAR provider
■ Get ready for A LOT of data!
