Manual filtering is undertaken on the DTM to improve the automated classification routines to produce a most likely ground surface model.

The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a representation of the ground level, created from the returned LiDAR pulses which have been classified as coming from the ground.

LiDAR Digital Terrain Model (DTM) for the example area. This page offers brief guidance on using LiDAR layers on our maps website for landscape research. LiDAR data has many archaeological applications due to its ability to show the underlying land surface with vegetation removed and to show up patterns of small variations in elevation which are often not visible to the human eye at ground level. LiDAR can also be ground based rather than airborne and is often used in self-driving vehicles for showing relief and obstructions. Slopes and small streams are easy to spot, as well as types of trees and their densities.

LiDAR has many uses, and is particularly valuable for showing subtle variations in relief or elevation on the ground. It allows highly detailed representations of relief or terrain models to be generated, often at spatial resolutions of between 25 cm and 2 metres. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is an airborne mapping technique, which uses a scanning laser to very accurately measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground.
