Data Quality

Accuracy:

The flight missions were typically four or five hours in duration including runway calibration flights flown at the beginning and the end of each mission. During the data collection, the operator recorded information on log sheets which includes weather conditions, LiDAR operation parameters, and flight line statistics. Near the end of the mission GPS ambiguities are again resolved by flying within ten kilometers of the base stations, to aid in post-processing.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) LiDAR Specifications; Quantitative Value: 1.00 meters, Test that produced the value: Processing accuracies and requirements

Vertical Positional Accuracy:

Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) LiDAR Specifications; 15 cm RMSE; Quantitative Value: 0.15 meters, Test that produced the value: Preliminary data processing was performed in the field immediately following the missions for quality control of GPS data and to ensure sufficient overlap between flight lines. Any problematic data could then be re-flown immediately as required. Final data processing was completed in the Colorado Springs office.

Completeness Report:

Complete

Conceptual Consistency:

A minimum of two GPS base stations were set for the Lee County project, which is within the project area or within the required baseline specifications of the project.

Pre-flight checks such as cleaning the sensor head glass are performed. A four minute INS initialization is conducted on the ground, with the engines running, prior to flight, to establish fine-alignment of the INS. GPS ambiguities are resolved by flying within ten kilometers of the base stations.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1136489
Description:

Data Collection:

Using an Optech Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) system, 103 flight lines of standard density (1.4 meter ground sample distance) data were collected over areas in Lee, SC (approximately 395 square miles). Multiple returns were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The data acquisition occurred in 6 missions between March 14, 2010 , and March 20, 2010. During the LIDAR campaign, the LMSI 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 Step 2

CC ID: 1136490
Description:

Airborne GPS Processing:

Airborne GPS data was 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 is as follows: The classification and quality control (QC) of LiDAR data is carried out using TerraScan software by Terrasolid Limited of Helinski, Finland.

Process Date/Time: 2010-04-01 00:00:00

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1136491
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. The 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.

LIDAR Point Classification:

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

Process Date/Time: 2010-05-01 00:00:00

Process Step 5

CC ID: 1136493
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in laz format from USGS via an FTP online repository. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in State Plane Zone 3900 (South Carolina, NAD83) in feet, NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in feet. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:

1. The LAS files were converted from SPCS coordinates to geographic coordinates.

2. Erroneous elevations were removed.

3. The LAS files were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in meters to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights in meters using Geoid 03.

4. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated.
