Detroit Street View\\u00a0(DSV) is an urban remote sensing program run by the Enterprise Geographic Information Systems (EGIS) Team within the Department of Innovation and Technology at the City of Detroit.\\u00a0 The mission of Detroit Street View is \\u2018To continuously observe and document Detroit\\u2019s changing physical environment through remote sensing, resulting in freely available foundational data that empowers effective city operations, informed decision making, awareness, and innovation.\\u2019\\u00a0 LiDAR (as well as panoramic imagery) is collected using a vehicle-mounted mobile mapping system.
Due to variations in processing, index lines are not currently available for all existing LiDAR datasets, including all data collected before September 2020.\\u00a0 Index lines represent the approximate path of the vehicle within the time extent of the given LiDAR file.\\u00a0 The actual geographic extent of the LiDAR point cloud varies dependent on line-of-sight.
Compressed (LAZ format) point cloud files may be requested by emailing\\u00a0gis@detroitmi.gov\\u00a0with a description of the desired geographic area, any specific dates/file names, and an explanation of interest and/or intended use.\\u00a0 Requests will be filled at the discretion and availability of the Enterprise GIS Team. Deliverable file size limitations may apply and requestors may be asked to provide their own online location or physical media for transfer.
LiDAR was collected using an uncalibrated Trimble MX2 mobile mapping system.\\u00a0 The data is not quality controlled, and no accuracy assessment is provided or implied.\\u00a0\\u00a0Results are known to vary significantly.\\u00a0 Users should exercise caution and conduct their own comprehensive suitability assessments before requesting and applying this data.
