A public archive of Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC) lidar datasets, each with STAC metadata and an in-browser 3D viewer, at pointcloud.org.
This repo holds the dataset manifests that describe what's in the archive. All ingest, build, and deploy automation lives in pointcloud.org's own private infrastructure -- this repo is just the community-facing catalog: anyone can open a PR here to add or edit a dataset, and never needs credentials for or knowledge of how that infrastructure works.
See manifests/README.md -- how to structure a
new dataset directory, the full manifest field reference,
endpoint/foreign-bucket handling, derivative-processing overrides, and
worked examples. manifests/schema.json is
the canonical, machine-readable schema every manifest validates
against in CI.
Manifests describe third-party datasets; each dataset's license field
states the terms of the underlying data, which may differ from this
repo's own license.
