About This Premium Dataset

Special thanks to James Pick, Business Development Manager for Survey & Construction at COPTRZ, for sharing this real-world dataset captured with the DJI Zenmuse L3.

The Rolling Hills scene covers:

• Terraced farmland with smooth contour transitions
• A winding creek bed and ravine lined with trees and dense vegetation
• Open fields and mixed terrain perfect for testing canopy penetration and elevation accuracy

This dataset highlights what today's DJI Zenmuse L3 can do—and how ROCK Cloud makes those results accessible, shareable, and ready for processing.

Why ROCK Cloud Makes L3 Data More Valuable

Most drone pilots stop at processing in DJI Terra. ROCK Cloud takes you further: it turns that dataset into a web-based workspace for collaboration and professional deliverables.

Here's what happens once your L3 data hits ROCK Cloud:

✅ Instant 3D access – Upload .laz files and start exploring immediately, with RGB, intensity, and elevation layers.

✅ Shareable projects – Send clients a link they can open in any browser—no downloads, no viewer installs.

✅ Professional analysis – Measure, calculate volumes, compare flights, and export subsets in seconds.

✅ 1-click deliverables – Order ROCK Pro Services to transform your data into contours, DTMs, planimetrics, or vegetation reports overnight.

In short: ROCK Cloud turns your LiDAR from a dataset into a deliverable.

Terrain Highlights

The Rolling Hills project is a perfect stress test for the DJI Zenmuse L3—and an ideal example of how ROCK Cloud handles complex surfaces.

• Farmland & slopes – Consistent density and smooth elevation models make contouring effortless.
• Creek corridor – Multi-return data cleanly separates canopy from ground, visible in intensity view.
• Vegetation detail – 1535 nm wavelength captures through brush for accurate bare-earth mapping.
• Ravine modeling – High-precision returns reveal subtle grade breaks ideal for DTM generation.

These features will soon be processed through ROCK Pro Services to generate full DTM + contour deliverables for download—straight from this same project page.

See the Data, Then See the Deliverable

We're processing this dataset through ROCK Pro Services to create:

• Contours (1 ft / 2 ft)
• Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
• Breaklines along the creek and terrace edges

Once complete, you'll be able to view the before-and-after results right here on ROCK Cloud.

The same workflow you'll use for your own projects: upload → visualize → order deliverables → download CAD-ready results.
