The 0.5-meter DEM was developed and resampled from the DNR 0.5-meter Statewide Seamless DEM using industry standards for developing DEMs from a more detailed source product. The data was collected between 2021 and 2024 at Lidar Acquisition Block (LABs) levels or work units within some LABs. Lidar data was collected at work units level where they exist. Please see &quot;Areas Covered&quot; section ofhttps://mn.gov/mngeo/gis-data-and-maps/info-by-topic/elevation/lidar/lidar-gen2.jspfor additional information on LABs and work units.The seamless 0.5-meter DEM was created from the original collection of lidar data at 0.5-meter resolution.

This project was primarily funded by Federal, State and County partners.

Complete for all areas across Minnesota covered by the source 0.5-meter DEM Meets or exceeds horizontal accuracy of 0.6m RMSE. The NAD83 (HARN) datum was used. The NAVD88 (Geoid09) vertical datum was used. Data was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standard for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10-cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class The 0.5‑meter DEM was resampled to create a 2‑meter DEM dataset. The process to develop the 2-meter dataset used the Resample Geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro with the bilinear interpolation method and Snap Raster to the Statewide Seamless 0.5-meter DEM. Bilinear interpolation calculates output cell values by averaging the value of the four nearest input cells, producing a smoother surface suitable for terrain analysis applications.   It helps maintain overall terrain form and continuity, supporting consistent analysis.  The 2-meter cell encompasses sixteen 0.5-meter cells to allow seamless boundaries between cells.  For information about the acquisition, organization, blending and aggregation of the second generation lidar collection, please see the metadata for the Statewide Seamless 0.5m Lidar DEM: https://minnesota.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/ab593372b70548b4b974ea1a2bf758c1/info/metadata/metadata.xml?format=default&output=html DEMs are floating point rasters with Z-values in meters.  Attribute Label: Value  Attribute Definition: Elevation in meters  LAS data were classified using the following standard ASPRS categories: 1 Unclassified 2 Ground (Bare Earth) 3 Low Vegetation (less than 1.1 meters) 4 Medium Vegetation (1.11 - 2.4 meters) 5 High Vegetation (2.41 - 200m) 6 Buildings 7 Noise 8 Model Keypoint 9 Water 10 Water Edge (withheld / ignored ground) (Bare-earth points within 1-meter of the water polygons are re-classified to Class 10) 11 Scan Edge (unreliable points near the extreme edge of swath) 12 Overlap (not used) 14 Bridge Decks ELEV_Contour2022 Feature Class 840445 OBJECTID1 OBJECTID1 OID 4 10 0 Internal feature number.
