Create mosaic datasets and serve the raster data

Multiple lidar projects can be managed by incorporating the DTM and DSM surfaces into larger managed collections. Refer to the Elevation workflow for the details on this process. When this fourth stage is complete, you may consider adding the optional steps in Share 3D point files for user download.

A simple diagram is provided below, but note that this stage does not limit you to processing one data collection (one lidar project) at a time. In the case of multiple lidar projects, the first three stages (Manage lidar collections with LAS datasets, Determine parameters to generate DTM and DSM, and Create derived rasters) would be repeated for each project, and then all datasets can be integrated into the managed elevation collection in this stage.
