Title: 2012 USACE Great Lakes Topobathy Lidar: Lake Michigan (Wisconsin and Michigan)
Short Name: gl2012_usace_lake_michigan_mi_wi_m3663_metadata
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2014-07-22
Abstract:

This project was delivered to the Office for Coastal Management for use and dissemination on the Digital Coast. These files contain classified topographic and bathymetric lidar data as unclassified valid topographic data (1), Valid bathymetric data (reclassed to 11) and valid topographic data classified as ground (2). Classes 1 and 2 are defined in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards. These data were collected by the Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar (CZMIL) system. CZMIL integrates a lidar sensor with topographic and bathymetric capabilities, a digital camera and a hyperspectral imager on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities. Native lidar data is not generally in a format accessible to most Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Specialized USACE and commercial software packages are used to process the native lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis. When the LAS files arrive horizontal positions are provided in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 National Adjustment of 2011 (NAD83 NA2011) and vertical positions are referenced to the NAD83 NA11 ellipsoid and provided in meters.

Purpose:

These data were collected as a part of the NCMP to depict the elevations above and below the water in the Michigan and Wisconsin coastal zone.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1135706
Description:

These data were collected using the CZMIL system. It is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The system collects lidar data at 20 kHz and RGB imagery at 2 Hz. A CASI-1500 hyperspectral line scanner is integrated with the system as well. Aircraft position, velocity and acceleration information are collected through a combination of Novatel and POS A/V 510 equipment. All raw data streams are transferred to the office for downloading and processing in CZMILs Hydro Fusion software. Aircraft position data are processed using POSPac software and the results are combined with the lidar data to produce 3-D positions for each lidar shot. Upon inspection and QA/QC in the software packages Fledermaus and PFM_ABE, anomalous data are flagged as invalid. NOAA's VDatum software then converts all valid data from ellipsoid to orthometric heights based on the NGS' GEOID12A model and exports valid lidar data as a series of unclassified LAS files.

Process Date/Time: 2013-06-08 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1135707
Description:

LAS files are imported into GeoCue V2012.1.27.7, 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 topographic data as ground points (2), valid bathymetric data as bathy (29), and unclassified points (1). 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 algorithms ground surface instead of manually reclassifying those points. The final classification results are comprised of individual lidar points with classifications of ground (2) or unclassified (1). 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), 29 (valid bathymetric data).

Process Date/Time: 2013-11-29 00:00:00

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1135708
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the topographic/bathymetric files in LAS format from USACE. The files contained lidar easting, northing, elevation, intensity, return number, etc. The data was received in Geographic Coordinates (decimal degrees). The vertical coordinates were referenced to NAVD88 in meters using the Geoid12a model. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:

1. Two separate projects from 2012 were combined for one OCM mission. Lake Michigan data for the upper peninsula was delivered with lower Michigan data although that region had previously been added to the Digital Coast, there OCM combined the portion which had not been added to the Wisconsin portion of the 2012 Lake Michigan delivered data. The result project is the western shore of Lake Michigan from near Monitowoc in Wisconsin to Escanaba in Michigan (600+ kilometers of shoreline).

2. Class 29 points (bathymetry) were reclassified to Class 11 (bathymetry) to fit OCM DAV class scheme.
