Data Quality

Accuracy:

The project area requires LiDAR to be collected on average of 1 meter point spacing or better and vertical accuracy of 18.0 centimeters RMSE or better to support

2' contour generation when combined with breaklines.
Vertical Positional Accuracy:

Deliverables were tested by Photo Science for both vertical and horizontal accuracy. All data is seamless from one tile to the next, no gaps or no data areas.

The vertical unit of the data file is in decimal feet with 2-decimal point precision.

; Quantitative Value: 0.067 meters, Test that produced the value: RMSE in meters
Completeness Report:

Datasets contain complete coverage of tiles.
Conceptual Consistency:

Deliverables were tested by Photo Science for both vertical and horizontal accuracy. All data is seamless from one tile to the next, no gaps or no data areas.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1134421
Description:

Leica software was used in the post processing of the airborne GPS and inertial data that is critical to the positioning of the sensor during all flights.

This software suite includes Applanix's PosPac and Waypoint's GrafNav solutions. PosPac provides the smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) that is

necessary for Leica's post processor to develop the point cloud from the LiDAR missions. The point cloud is the mathematical three dimensional collection

of all returns from all laser pulses as determined from the aerial mission. At this point this data is ready for analysis, classification, and filtering

to generate a bare earth surface model in which the above ground features are removed from the data set.

The point cloud was manipulated within the Leica software; GeoCue, TerraScan, and TerraModeler software was used for the automated data classification,

manual cleanup, and bare earth generation from this data. Project specific macros were used to classify the ground and to remove the side overlap between

parallel flight lines. All data was manually reviewed and any remaining artifacts removed using functionality provided by TerraScan and TerraModeler.

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1134422
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the topographic files in LAS format from USGS. The files contained lidar elevation, return information, classification,

flightline information and intensity measurements. The data were received in UTM Zone 19N, NAD83 coordinates and were vertically referenced to NAVD88. The vertical units

of the data were meters. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:

1. The topographic las files were checked for erroneous points (noise) and bad bare earth (Class 2) values. None were found.

2. The topographic las files were converted from orthometric (NAVD88) heights to ellipsoidal heights using Geoid03 (Geoid03 assumed by NOAA OCM).

3. The topographic las files were converted from a Projected Coordinate System (UTM 19N) to a Geographic Coordinate system (NAD83).

4. The topographic las files' horizontal units were converted from meters to decimal degrees.
