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 .
