Abstract

Quantum Spatial has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the Oregon LiDAR Consortium (OLC) Snake River FEMA study area. This study area is located in southeastern Idaho.

The collection of high resolution geographic data is part of an ongoing pursuit to amass a library of information accessible to government agencies as well as the general public. In April 2015 QSI employed remotesensing lasers in order to obtain a total area flown of 496,813 acres. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter.

Final products created include RGB extracted (from NAIP imagery) LiDAR point cloud data, one-meter digital elevation models of highest hit, bare earth (entire project area) and hydroenforced bare earth (Pocatello study area only) ground models, 0.5-meter intensity rasters, one-meter ground density rasters, study area vector shapes, and corresponding statistical data. Final deliverables are projected in UTM Zone 12. Lidar point clouds were projected back to geographic coordinates and ellipsoid heights for storage in the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer. Custom processing may have further changed the projection and datums. See the spatial reference information and processing steps for details.

Data Quality

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

unknown

Vertical Positional Accuracy:

Vertical Accuracy reporting is designed to meet guidelines presented in the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) (FGDC, 1998) and the ASPRS Guidelines for Vertical Accuracy Reporting for LiDAR Data V1.0 (ASPRS, 2004). The statistical model compares known ground survey points (GSPs) to the closest laser point. Vertical accuracy statistical analysis uses ground survey points in open areas where the LiDAR system has a "very high probability" that the sensor will measure the ground surface and is evaluated at the 95th percentile.

For the OLC Snake River FEMA study area, a total of 5,460 GSPs were collected. An additional 446 reserved ground survey points were collected for independent verification, resulting in a fundamental vertical accuracy (FVA) of 0.070 meters.

For more information about the vertical accuracy, please refer to the final report, listed above in the Supplemental_Information field

of this metadata record.

; Quantitative Value: 0.070 meters, Test that produced the value: Tested to meet FVA at a 95 percent confidence level in meters.

Completeness Report:

LiDAR data has been collected and processed for all areas within the project study area.

Conceptual Consistency:

Upon receipt from vendor (Quantum Spatial), all LiDAR data was independently reviewed by staff from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) to ensure project specifications were met. All data were inventoried for completeness and data were checked for quality, which included examining LiDAR data for errors associated with internal data consistency, model quality, and accuracy.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1140145
Description:

The LiDAR survey occurred between April 22, 2015 and June 2, 2015 utilizing a Leica ALS70 mounted in a Cessna Grand Caravan. The systems were programmed to emit single pulses at around 198 kHz and flown at 1,400 m AGL, capturing a scan angle of 15 degrees from nadir. These settings were developed to yield points with an average native density of greater than eight pulses per square meter over terrestrial surfaces.

To solve for laser point position, an accurate description of aircraft position and attitude is vital. Aircraft position is described as x, y, and z and was measured twice per second (two hertz) by an onboard differential GPS unit. Aircraft attitude is described as pitch, roll, and yaw (heading) and was measured 200 times per second (200 hertz) from an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Process Date/Time: 2015-01-01 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1140146
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in laz format. The files contained Lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in UTM zone 12 (NAD83 2011 Epoch 2010.0) and NAVD88 (Geoid12a) meters. OCM performed the following processing to the data to make it available within the Digital Coast:

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

2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights to NAD83(2011) ellipsoid heights using Geoid12a grids.

The data was received without a metadata record. This record was produced based on the data quality report.
