Abstract

Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WS) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Douglas

County PUD area of interest (AOI) east of Wenatchee, WA on May 2nd - May 27th, 2009. The total

area of delivered LiDAR is 105,134 acres (Figure 1). The requested area was expanded to include

a 100 m buffer to ensure complete coverage and adequate point densities around survey area

boundaries.

Data Quality

Accuracy:

Elevations are recorded in floating-point meters and the vertical datum is ellipsoidal (GEOID03).

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

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. Not reported, assumed as 1.0 m.

; Quantitative Value: 1.0 meters, Test that produced the value: See LiDAR data report.

Vertical Positional Accuracy:

Review the report cited as supplemental information above for details on accuracy assessment.; Quantitative Value: 0.039 meters, Test that produced the value:

Summary statistics for point resolution and

accuracy (relative and absolute) of the LiDAR data collected in the Douglas County

survey area are presented below in terms of central tendency, variation around

the mean, and the spatial distribution of the data (for point resolution by bin).

Calculated to 0.13 ft RMSEz.

Completeness Report:

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

Conceptual Consistency:

LiDAR survey datasets were referenced to the 1 Hz static ground GPS data collected over presurveyed

monuments with known coordinates. While surveying, the aircraft collected 2 Hz kinematic GPS data,

and the onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU) collected 200 Hz aircraft attitude data. Leica IPAS

Suite was used to process the kinematic corrections for the aircraft. The static and kinematic GPS

data were then post-processed after the survey to obtain an accurate GPS solution and aircraft

positions. Waypoint was used to develop a trajectory file that includes corrected aircraft position

and attitude information. The trajectory data for the entire flight survey session were incorporated

into a final smoothed best estimated trajectory (SBET) file that contains accurate and continuous

aircraft positions and attitudes.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1134975
Description:

Acquisition.

The LiDAR survey uses a Leica ALS50 Phase II laser system. For the Douglas County survey area,

the sensor scan angle was +/- 14 degrees from nadir with a pulse rate designed to yield an

average native density (number of pulses emitted by the laser system) of = 8 points per

square meter over terrestrial surfaces. All survey areas were surveyed with an opposing

flight line side-lap of more than 50% (more than 100% overlap) to reduce laser shadowing and increase surface

laser painting. The Leica ALS50 Phase II system allows up to four range measurements (returns)

per pulse, and all discernable laser returns were processed for the output dataset. It is not

uncommon for some types of surfaces (e.g. dense vegetation or water) to return fewer pulses

than the laser originally emitted. These discrepancies between 'native' and 'delivered'

density will vary depending on terrain, land cover and the prevalence of water bodies.

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1134976
Description:

Resolved kinematic corrections for aircraft position data using kinematic aircraft GPS and

static ground GPS data.

Software - Waypoint GPS v.8.10, Trimble Geomatics Office v.1.62

Developed a smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) file that blends post-processed aircraft

position with attitude data Sensor head position and attitude were calculated throughout the survey.

The SBET data were used extensively for laser point processing.

Software - IPAS v.1.4

Calculated laser point position by associating SBET position to each laser point return time, scan

angle, intensity, etc. Created raw laser point cloud data for the entire survey in *.las (ASPRS v1.1) format.

Software - ALS Post Processing Software v.2.69

Imported raw laser points into manageable blocks (less than 500 MB) to perform manual relative

accuracy calibration and filter for pits/birds. Ground points were then classified for individual

flight lines (to be used for relative accuracy testing and calibration).

Software - TerraScan v.9.001

Using ground classified points per each flight line, the relative accuracy was tested. Automated

line-to-line calibrations were then performed for system attitude parameters (pitch, roll, heading),

mirror flex (scale) and GPS/IMU drift. Calibrations were performed on ground classified points from

paired flight lines. Every flight line was used for relative accuracy calibration.

Software - TerraMatch v.9.001

Position and attitude data were imported. Resulting data were classified as ground and nonground

points. Statistical absolute accuracy was assessed via direct comparisons of ground classified

points to ground RTK survey data. Data were then converted to orthometric elevations (NAVD88)

by applying a Geoid03 correction. Ground models were created as a triangulated surface and exported

as ArcInfo ASCII grids at a 3-foot pixel resolution.

Software - TerraScan v.9.001, ArcMap v.9.3, TerraModeler v.9.001

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1134977
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded topographic files in LAZ format from PSLC's website.

The files contained lidar easting, northing, elevation, intensity, return number, class, scan angle

and GPS time measurements; the data was received in state plane Washington (in feet) and vertical coordinates were

referenced to NAVD88 in feet using the Geoid03 model.

OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:

1. The All-Return LAZ files were checked for bad elevations

2. The laz files were converted from a Projected Coordinate System (SP 4601) to a Geographic Coordinate system (NAD83)

3. The laz files were then converted to ellipsoidal vertical units in meters using the geoid03 conversion.
