Looking at the Disneyland Resort with Lidar!

itssedimentary

I previously showed some cool images of Walt Disney World made from lidar 3D point clouds, but we can also look at the Disneyland Resort with lidar! This lidar was collected in late 2011 and early 2012, so the resort has changed quite a lot since then. Take a unique 3D look at iconic features at the Disneyland Resort with lidar.

3D point cloud colored by elevation of Space Mountain at Disneyland.
3D point cloud colored by elevation of the Matterhorn mountain with a tiny Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in the center of the image.
3D point cloud colored by intensity of the Disneyland main entrance.
3D point cloud colored by elevation of a still under construction Radiator Springs Racers in Disney California Adventure.
3D point cloud colored by elevation of California Screamin’ (now The Incredicoaster) and Mickey’s Fun Wheel (which I will never ever refer to as the Pixar Pal-A-Round) in Disney California Adventure.
