Abstract: |
These files contain rasterized bare earth bathymetric and topographic lidar elevations generated from data with a Hawkeye III (HEIII) lidar sensor. The HEIII integrates topographic, shallow water, and deep water bathymetric lidar sensors along with a digital camera on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities. Bathymetric lidar data were required 1000 m seaward of the land/water interface or to laser extinction (whichever came first), while topographic lidar data were required 500 m inland of the land/water interface. Data coverage generally extends along the gulf coast of Florida from Ft. Walton Beach to Mexico Beach and from Anclote Key to Marco Island. In addition to the bare earth DEMs, the topobathy lidar point data are also available. These data are available for download here: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataviewer/#/lidar/search/where:ID=5183 DEMs that were created from all classes of points (1, 2, 29) at a 1 meter grid size are available by request via email at: coastal.info@noaa.gov.

Lineage
Process Steps
Process Step 1
Description: |
These data were collected using the HawkEye III system. It is owned by GDS and operated by Woolpert. The system collects topo/bathy lidar data at 300 kHz and RGB imagery with the RCD30 8-bit TiIFF images. All raw data streams are transferred to the office for downloading and processing in Leica Lidar Survey Studio (LSS). Aircraft position data are processed using NovAtel Inertial Explorer and converted to GPB format and imported with aircraft GNSS and IMU data. Upon inspection and QA/QC in the software package LSS, anomalous data are flagged as invalid. GeoCue software then converts all valid data from ellipsoid to orthometric heights based on the NGS' GEOID12B model and exports valid lidar data as a series of unclassified LAS files. |
---|---|
Process Date/Time: | 2015-06-06 00:00:00 |
Process Step 2
Description: |
LAS files are imported into GeoCue V2016.1.21.4, which is a geospatial workflow production and management software tool employed by JALBTCX to perform and monitor production of data products. Upon import into GeoCue, A customized classification macro, built upon the TerraScan V13 module within Microstation V8i, classifies valid topobathy data as ground points (2), unclassified points (1), and bathymetric points (22). Upon completion the macro, the classification results undergo quality control and any misclassified points are manually edited. In areas of dense vegetation the bare earth ground points might be incorrectly classified due to the inability of the laser to penetrate the canopy and reach the bare ground. In these areas, JALBTCX defaults to the algorithm's "ground" surface instead of manually reclassifying those points. They are partitioned into a series of 5km or quarter quad delivery boxes, one Classified LAS file per box. The format of the file is LAS version 1.2. Data are classified as 1 (valid non-ground topographic data), 2 (valid ground topographic data), and 22 (valid bathymetric data). |

Process Date/Time: | 2016-02-29 00:00:00 |
Process Step 3
Description: |
Data classified as ground points (2) and bathymetric points (22) in the las files are converted to a grid by generating a triangulated irregular network (TIN) and then extracting the grid node elevations from the TIN surface. The origin point of the grid is located at a horizontal position whose value is evenly divisible by the 1m grid resolution such that rasters from subsequent surveys have common cell boundaries. JALBTCX uses Quick Terrain Modeler V8 to perform this operation utilizing the following parameters; "Legacy Triangulation", "Max Sample Excursion - 30000", "Max Triangle Side - 30000", "Radius - none", "Tolerance - 1", and "Tiling Settings Snap to Grid (Expand)." The grid is exported from Quick Terrain Modeler as an ESRI ASCII Z grid file. Utilizing an in-house python script within ESRI ArcMap V10.1, the ASCII Z grid file is converted to a tiff-format raster file whose projection is defined as "The North American Datum of 1983 (2011)." The raster is then multiplied against a corresponding 1m Grid mask raster, a mask image produced from JALBTCX's 1m Grid, in ESRI's Raster Calculator to remove interpolated areas where data does not exist. |

Process Step 4
Description: |
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received data in tif format from JALBTCX. The bare earth raster files were at a 1 m grid spacing. The data were in geographic coordinates and NAVD88 elevations in meters. OCM copied the raster files to database and https for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes. |
