Abstract

These data were collected by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration National Geodetic Survey Remote Sensing Division using a

Riegl Q680i-D system. The data includes topographic data in an LAS 1.2 format file classified as unclassified (1), ground (2), and water (9)in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards. This data set also includes lidar intensity values and encoded RGB image values. Fire Island, NY data collected on Nov 25, 2011 and the Cape May to Absecon

Inlet, NJ data was collected on July 16, 2011.

Access Constraints:

None

Use Constraints:

These data depict the heights at the time of the survey and are only accurate for that time. Users should be aware that temporal changes

may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions.

Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations. Any conclusions drawn from analysis

of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA. We request that you credit the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

Title: 2011 NOAA National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Lidar: Fire Island, NY and Cape May to Absecon Inlet, NJ
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2012-04
Abstract:

These data were collected by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration National Geodetic Survey Remote Sensing Division using a

Riegl Q680i-D system. The data includes topographic data in an LAS 1.2 format file classified as unclassified (1), ground (2), and water (9)in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards. This data set also includes lidar intensity values and encoded RGB image values. Fire Island, NY data collected on Nov 25, 2011 and the Cape May to Absecon

Inlet, NJ data was collected on July 16, 2011.

Purpose:

This lidar was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA's Coastal Mapping Program. It is not intended for mapping,charting, or navigation. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing standards for airborne lidar.

Notes:

10226

Supplemental Information:

Data include all lidar returns. Outliers or false returns (e.g., returns from birds, atmospheric particles, and or system noise) maybe present in the data. An automated ground classification algorithm was used to determine bare earth point classification. It should be noted that not all water returns were correctly classified, therefore the ground classification could proceed into water bodies, and should be removed by the user.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1132807
Description:

Data were processed to an initial LAS format using the Riegl RiProcess software. The Applanix POSPac software was utilized for

GPS and inertial processing, and Terrasolid software for data visualization, 3D editing, and export to final LAS file. Data were

processed in NAD83 horizontal and vertical datum.

Process Date/Time: 2011-10-06 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1132808
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in las format. The files contained LiDAR elevation as well as intensity

and encoded RGB image values. The data were in UTM, Zone 18 coordinates. OCM performed the following processing for data storage

and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:

1. The data were converted from UTM Zone 18 coordinates to geographic coordinates.

2. The data were filtered for outliers.
