49729 ga2010_arc_spaldingcounty_m2531_metadata Data Set Published / External 49401 Lidar - partner (no harvest) Project Completed 2013-08-12 This metadata record describes the DTM comprised of classified aerial lidar elevation points, photogrammetrically compiled breaklines and the derived TIN for Spalding County, GA Original contact information: Contact Name: Brian Haynes Contact Org: City of Griffin Title: GIS Manager Phone: 770-412-9950 Ext. 1 Email: bhyanes@cityofgriffin.com A lidar DEM data was collected for the Spalding County, GA area. All lidar returns were classified using the default classes of Terrascan processing software for Unclassified Points (class 1), Ground points (class 2), Water points (class 9), Overlap points (class 12). The lidar ground points are supplemented with photogrammmetrically compiled breaklines from digital imagery collected during the same project time frame as the lidar. The ground class points, often refered to as "bald earth" are then used as an input to proprietary and publicly available processing software to generate a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) model. Classified lidar DEMs and derived TIN models are useful for a variety of applications, such as aiding in contour generation, development of digital surface models, 3D modeling, flood plane mapping, viewshed analysis and the production of orthophotos. 10374 A footprint of this data may be viewed in Google Earth at: https://noaa-nos-coastal-lidar-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/laz/geoid18/2531/supplemental/ga2010_arc_spaldingcounty.KMZ Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category elevation Theme "bare earth" Theme TIN Theme Triangulated Irregular Network Theme mapping Theme mass points Office for Coastal Management Charleston SC Data Set Unknown Point and vector digital data Any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of Kucera International, ARC, USGS, NOAA, the Office for Coastal Management or its partners.

Attribute accuracy is tested in the LiDAR processing stage. After classification of the LiDAR data, the 'bald earth' point class is compared to ground control collected within the project area. Horizontal positional accuracy for LiDAR is dependent upon the quality of the GPS/INS solution, sensor calibration and ground conditions at the time of data capture. The standard system results for horizontal accuracy are less than 1 meter.; Quantitative Value: 1 meters, Test that produced the value: This value is computed by comparing ground control to an intensity based image derived from the classified LiDAR data and represents the RMSE of residuals on controls within the project area. Vertical positional accuracy for LiDAR is dependent upon the quality of the GPS/INS solution, sensor calibration and ground conditions at the time of data capture. The vertical accuracy for this project was tested with a resultant RMSE of 0.073 meter (0.24 feet).; Quantitative Value: 0.073 meters, Test that produced the value: This value is computed by comparing ground control elevation to the classified LiDAR ground surface and represents the RMSE of residuals on controls within the project area. LiDAR data is collected for the project area. Post processing of the simultaneously acquired GPS/INS is performed and applied to the laser returns to output a point cloud in the specified project coordinate system and datums. The point cloud data is then subjected to automated classification routines to assign all points in the point cloud to ground, water, overlap and unclassified point classes. Anomalous laser returns that occur infrequently are removed entirely from the data set. The ground class points are then compared to surveyed ground control to develop an accuracy measure of the laser terrain data. LiDAR data is collected within the project area, processed and verified against control.

The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in GA State Plane coordinates and NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in feet. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes: 1. The data were converted from GA State Plane coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in feet to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights in meters using Geoid 09. 3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated. 2012-08-12T00:00:00 2 New LiDAR data is captured for the project area using a Leica ALS60 LiDAR instrument in conjunction with a POSAV Applanix GPS/INS system mounted within a Piper Navajo twin engine airplane. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 3 New aerial digital imagery with airborne GPS/IMU data is acquired for the project area. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 4 The airborne GPS data is processed in Terratec TerraPos software and then combined with the IMU data in Applanix PosPAC software to determine the LiDAR sensor's angle and orientation in the terrain (project) coordinate system and datums during the survey. The same GPS/IMU processing is performed for the digital imagery to define the orientation parameters of the images to be used in stereo compilation of terrain breaklines. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 5 LiDAR data is processed using the GPS/INS solution. Data is classified to produce: Class 1: unclassified points Class 2: ground points Class 9: water points Class 12: overlap points 2010-01-01T00:00:00 6 The ground class of the processed lidar data is then compared to the ground control and elevation differences between the lidar surface and surveyed elevation are recorded in tabular form. Vertical accuracy statistices are then developed to produce vertical RMSE and overall accuracy estimates and reports. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 7 Photogrammetrically compiled breaklines are compiled to supplement the lidar ground points. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 8 Water polygons are buffered to remove any lidar points within the polygon to flatten these surfaces. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 9 Breaklines are buffered to remove lidar surface points on or near the breakline. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:49729 Anne Ball 2017-11-15T15:21:55 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2022-08-09T17:11:37 2022-03-16 OCM Partners OCMP 1002 Public No No 2022-03-16 1 Year 2023-03-16
