The Baltinglass Hillfort complex in County Wicklow is the focus of groundbreaking archaeological research that has identified the site as Ireland’s earliest “proto-town.” Using advanced aerial surveying and lidar, researchers have identified Early Neolithic and Bronze Age features that were previously unknown. Lidar revealed large enclosures dating back 6,000 years, incredibly rare features that are…
Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC) is a file format designed to make lidar or photogrammetry 3d datasets accessible directly over the internet without needing to download the entire file. It is the point cloud equivalent of a Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG). It is essentially a standard LAZ file, but with its data reorganized into a…
