Abstract

The data acquisition occurred in 7 missions between March 31 and April 5, 2007 in Kent and New Castle Counties, Delaware.

The data have been classified and were flown to derive bare earth contours at 2 feet. Multiple returns were recorded for each laser

pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The points have a 1.4 m ground spacing (1.0 m ground spacing within the Wilmington

Urban Area).

Purpose:

This LIDAR operation was designed to provide a high density set of masspoints within the defined areas. The data sets are

suitable for the development of contours for use in hydraulic/hydrologic model development, and for assessing environmental impacts.

Typical uses for the data set include: FEMA Flood Plain Map Modernization, DFIRM map updates, watersheds and other hydro studies per

FEMA specifications, county mapping projects which include several uses, in addition to flood mitigation assessment, mapping projects

that include accuracy verification, reporting and metadata.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1132494
Description:

Data Collection:

Using a Leica Systems ALS50 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system, flight lines of standard density ground spacing of 1.4 meter and

1.0 meter (within the Wilmington Urban Area) data were collected over areas in Kent County, DE (approximately 800 square miles) and New

Castle County, DE. Multiple returns were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return.

The data acquisition occurred in 7 missions between March 31, 2007 and April 5, 2007. During the LIDAR campaign, the Sanborn field crew

conducted a GPS field survey to establish final coordinates of the ground base stations for final processing of the base-remote

GPS solutions.

Process Date/Time: 2007-01-01 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1132495
Description:

Airborne GPS Processing:

Airborne GPS data were differentially processed and integrated with the post processed IMU data to derive a smoothed best estimate

of trajectory (SBET). The SBET was used to reduce the LiDAR slant range measurements to a raw reflective surface for each flight line.

The overlap between flight lines was removed to provide a homogeneous coverage, and the coverage was classified to extract a bare

earth digital elevation model (DEM).

Airborne GPS is differentially processed using the GrafNAV V7.50 software by Waypoint Consulting of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The PDOP and distance separation are as follows:

IMU data is processed using the PosPac V4.2 software by Applanix Corporation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.

The reflective surface is derived using the ALS Post Processor software by Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping Division of Atlanta, Georgia.

The classification and quality control (QC) of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki, Finland.

Process Date/Time: 2007-01-01 00:00:00

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1132496
Description:

IMU data Processing:

IMU data provides information concerning roll, pitch and yaw of collection platform during collection event. IMU information allows

the pulse vector to be properly placed in 3D space allowing the distance from the aircraft reference point to be properly positioned

on the elevation model surface. IMU data is processed using the PosPac V4.2 software by Applanix Corporation of Richmond Hill, Ontario,

Canada.

Reflective Surface Generation:

The reflective surface is derived using the ALS Post Processor software by Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping Division of Atlanta, Georgia.

LIDAR Point Classification

The classification and quality control (QC) of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki,

Finland.

Process Date/Time: 2008-01-01 00:00:00

Process Step 6

CC ID: 1132499
Description:

Output LAS Files

The product output of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helsinki, Finland. LAS Binary and

ArcGIS shapefiles were created. The shapefiles represented the bare earth product. All data were tiles to be consistent with the

statewide orthoimagery tile layout. Two sets of data were provided -- one in ft (vertical) and the other in meters (vertical).

Both had meters horizontal units.

Process Date/Time: 2008-01-01 00:00:00

Process Step 7

CC ID: 1132500
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received files in LAS format. The files contained LiDAR intensity

and elevation measurements. OCM performed the following processing on the data to make it available within the Digital

Coast:

1. The data were converted from State Plane coordinates to geographic coordinates.

2. The data were converted from orthometric to ellipsoid heights using Geoid03.

3. The LAS header fields were sorted by latitude and updated.

4. The data were filtered to eliminate outliers.
