Full Citation Examples
EagleView acquired highly accurate Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data at the USGS QL2 guidelines for the County of Douglas, Wisconsin in November 2016. This data set represents County of Douglas, comprised of approximately 1,333 square miles. LiDAR for this data set was classified and quality controlled by EagleView. Products were generated by Ground Point and subsequently quality controlled by EagleView.
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the lidar and breakline data from the City of Superior, WI site, processed it, and made it available on the the NOAA Digital Coast. The breakline data has not been reviewed and is made available at the user's discretion.

Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
Lidar Preprocessing: Airborne GPS and IMU data were merged to develop a Single Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) of the lidar system trajectory for each lift. Lidar ranging data were initially calibrated using previous best parameters for this instrument and aircraft. Relative calibration was evaluated using advanced plane-matching analysis and parameter corrections were derived. This relative calibration was repeated iteratively until residual errors between overlapping swaths, across all project lifts, was reduced to 3 cm or less. Data were then block adjusted to match surveyed calibration control. |

Process Step 2
| Description: |
Lidar Post-Processing: After generation of the calibrated point cloud data in LAS format from Optech's Lidar Mapping Suite (LMS), the data is imported into the TerraSolid software suite (running under Bentleys MicroStation) for matching and classification. Upon import, the data is divided into tiles for the purpose of creating more manageable data. Once imported to TerraSolid, blocks of data containing overlapping flight lines are selected. The data in these blocks is analyzed by TerraMatch and adjustments to the roll, pitch, heading, and scale that minimize any data misalignment between the flight lines are computed. These adjustments are then applied to the entire missions worth of data. Data across the mission is then manually reviewed to ensure proper alignment between flightlines has been achieved. This process is then repeated for each mission; once complete, intra-sortie alignment is verified |

Process Step 3
| Description: |
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the lidar point cloud and breakline data from the City of Superior, WI site on Oct 20, 2017. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in WISCRS Douglas feet (NAD83 2011) coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid12b) elevations in feet. OCM did the following processing to the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. Converted the lidar point cloud data from WISCRS Douglas ft (NAD83 2011) coordinates to geographic coordinates 2. Converted the lidar point cloud data from NAVD88 (Geoid12b) elevations to NAD83 (2011) ellipsoid elevations using Geoid12b grids 3. Converted the lidar point cloud data from ft to meters 4. Copied the lidar point cloud laz files to database and https 5. Created an OGC GeoPackage (gpkg) version of the breaklines from the ESRI GeoDatabase (gdb) and copied it and the gdb to https |
