To download, go to Products Download Center where you have to register as a user and select the product ” LiDAR ( .laz 2x2km ):
http://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/catalogo.do
Point clouds have been captured by flight LiDAR sensor with a density of 0.5 points / m2, and then automatically classified and colored by RGB orthophotos obtained from the National Plan of Orthophotography Air ( PNOA ) with size pixel 25 or 50cm .
At present , available for three-quarters of the country , pending the communities of Andalucia , Baleares and part of Castilla y León , which will probably be available in the next year and a half .
