Building footprints

The building footprints layer is the result of a data exchange partnership between Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the Government of Quebec. It will be improved as data becomes available. The Government of Quebec, wanting to optimize the use of Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) data acquired in recent years, has partnered with NRCan to extract the polygons of buildings in Quebec. Airborne lidar data from Quebec is processed using automatic extraction algorithms developed by NRCan, which makes it possible to obtain a layer of building footprints as a bird's eye view, in the form of vector polygons. The data is normally broken down by a lidar project. Since the extractions are carried out automatically, no quality control has been carried out on these datasets. Work to improve geometries and improve attributes is currently underway.
