### Height (Mean) - Raster DTM

* Generates raster map displaying Digital Terrain Model 

### Density

* Generates raster map colored by point density. The scale is displayed in points per square meter

### Strip Index

* Generates raster map colored by strip number.

### Strip Overlap

* Generates raster map colored by number of overlapping strips.

### Geodetic Altitude

* Generates raster map colored by corresponding ellipsoidal elevation values.

### Intensity

* Generates raster map colored by corresponding laser intensity.

### Color

* Generates raster map colored by corresponding RGB pixel values from mission imagery.

### Classification 

* Generates raster map colored by Classification (top-down view).

### Classification (Bottom-up)

* Generates raster map colored by classification (bottom-up view).

### Height Above Ground - CHM

* Generates raster map colored by distances above ground model derived from ground classified points
