  description: 'This collection is derived from the [USGS 3DEP COPC collection](https://planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/dataset/3dep-lidar-copc).
    It uses the [ASPRS](https://www.asprs.org/) (American Society for Photogrammetry
    and Remote Sensing) [Lidar point classification](https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/las-dataset/lidar-point-classification.htm).
    See [LAS specification](https://www.ogc.org/standards/LAS) for details.


    This COG type is based on the Classification [PDAL dimension](https://pdal.io/dimensions.html)
    and uses [`pdal.filters.range`](https://pdal.io/stages/filters.range.html) to
    select a subset of interesting classifications. Do note that not all LiDAR collections
    contain a full compliment of classification labels.

    To remove outliers, the PDAL pipeline uses a noise filter and then outputs the
    Classification dimension.


    The STAC collection implements the [`item_assets`](https://github.com/stac-extensions/item-assets)
    and [`classification`](https://github.com/stac-extensions/classification) extensions.
    These classes are displayed in the "Item assets" below. You can programmatically
    access the full list of class values and descriptions using the `classification:classes`
    field form the `data` asset on the STAC collection.


    Classification rasters were produced as a subset of LiDAR classification categories:


    ```

    0, Never Classified

    1, Unclassified

    2, Ground

    3, Low Vegetation

    4, Medium Vegetation

    5, High Vegetation

    6, Building

    9, Water

    10, Rail

    11, Road

    17, Bridge Deck

    ```
