Data as represented in the next video 
LiDAR collection is high resolution 
Colorize the LIDAR 
Use Orthorectified Imagery as a base layer 
Anything that is has elevation is colorized points 
Track of visualizing data is stored (this is not a fly through)

Solid Scan LiDAR data 
Currently works with Terrestrial scanning only 
Next phase will use mobile scanning technology 
Final phase is to use Airborne platforms 
High resolution LiDAR data is used as the base 
Solid scan fills in the voids to render a solid scan 
Uses the imagery
