This dataset contains the LiDAR point clouds that were collected in the context of the Digital Elevation Model Flanders I (DHMV I). The source data for the digital height model (DHM) Flanders was recorded in the period 2001 - 2004 via laser altimetry (LIDAR recordings). This source data contains the original LiDAR points belonging to both ground level and non-ground level. The average density is 1 point per 4m². The original files were originally delivered as raw ASCI x, y, z point lists, which were grouped separately by hard shoulder and by ground level or non-ground level class. The source data is now offered in the LAS format via the data hosting services of the Image Processing Chain GDI-Vlaanderen (BVK) within the AIV program EODaS (Earth Observation Data Science). The LAS format allows the data to be divided into blocks of 500 x 500 meters where the information of, among other things, the classification (ground level, class 1 and non-ground level / non-classified class 2), the hard shoulder numbering and the flight date in the LAS format itself is saved. This data is offered via the EODaS OpenLidar application, https://remotesensing.vlaanderen.be/apps/openlidar/ More background information can be found at https://overheid.vlaanderen.be/informatie-vlaanderen/producten-diensten/earth- observation data science
