LiDAR and elevation data for Estonia

National open LiDAR Openly licensed LiDAR covers about 70% or more of the land area.

Estonia's entire territory is covered by airborne LiDAR; Maa- ja Ruumiamet (formerly Maa-amet) publishes LAZ point clouds and terrain, surface and canopy models from 1 m resolution under its open data licence. The latest elevation models derive from the 2021–2024 scanning.
