Non-commercial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in Europe

Publication metadata

The EU has recently launched a building renovation wave as part of the Green Deal. However, a detailed georeferenced pan-European building database is absent. The use of very high-resolution (VHR) satellite imagery combined with LiDAR (Airborne Laser Scanner Light Detection And Ranging) data could provide a homogeneous and accurate solution. To provide a basis for further work, this report summarises the results of an investigation into the availability of LIDAR data in the EU Member States. This report aims to share and inform member states, the public sector, researchers, and other practitioners on the status of the available non-commercial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in Europe, (EU27+ Norway, Switzerland, UK, Serbia). Of the 32 countries explored, 18 countries are fully covered by using LiDAR data, nine countries are partially covered, while no information or no data is available for the remaining five countries. The resolution and products release conditions (freely available) derived from LiDAR datasets varied among countries.
