High Resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Looe Key, Florida, 2022

Metadata Updated: January 6, 2026

A digital elevation model (DEM) was created from underwater images collected at Looe Key (LKR), Florida, in July 2022 using the SfM (Structure-from-Motion) Quantitative Underwater Imaging Device with 5 cameras (SQUID-5) system. The underwater images were processed using SfM photogrammetry techniques into a classified two-class ('unclassified' and 'low noise') 3D point cloud. The DEM was created in Metashape (ver. 1.6.6) from the point cloud and includes points from both classes. The DEM covers a rectangular area of seafloor approximately 850x160 meters (m) (0.13 square kilometers [km]) in size and was saved as Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) rasters at 1-centimeter (cm) resolution, in a 5-by-2 tile index grid. A 1-meter resolution "quicklook" version of this DEM is also included in this data release, so that users can quickly view the entire dataset at a lower resolution before downloading the higher resolution DEM.
