Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1142366
Description:

Data for the Tarpon Springs project was acquired by NOAA using a Riegl VQ880G sensor. All delivered lidar data is referenced to:

Horizontal Datum-NAD83 (2011) epoch: 2010

Projection-UTM Zone 17 North

Horizontal Units-meters

Vertical Datum-NAD83 (2011) epoch: 2010

Vertical Units-meters

This dataset encompasses 1,224 500 m x 500 m lidar tiles. Both green lidar data and NIR lidar data were acquired.

NOAA acquired, calibrated, and performed the refraction correction of the lidar data. Light travels at different speeds in air versus water and its direction of travel or angle is changed or refracted when entering the water column. The refraction correction process corrects for this difference by adjusting the depth (distance traveled) and horizontal position (change of angle/direction) of the lidar data acquired within water.
Process Date/Time: 2018-12-03 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1142367
Description:

Dewberry received the calibrated green and NIR data and verified complete coverage. Relative accuracy of the green swaths compared to overlapping and adjacent green swaths as well as the relative accuracy of green swaths compared to overlapping and adjacent NIR swaths was verified through the use of Delta-Z (DZ) orthos created in GeoCue software. Intraswath or within a swath relative accuracy was verified using Quick Terrain Modeler. Profiles of elevated planar features, such as roofs, were used to verify horizontal alignment between overlapping swaths.

Dewberry used algoritms in TerraScan to create the intial ground/submerged topography surface.

Dewberry created 2-D breaklines by digitizing breaklines in a 2-D environment using intensity imagery as a reference. Dewberry used the 2-D breaklines to classify the bathymetric bottom and ground points properly in TerraScan.

All lidar data was peer-reviewed. Dewberry's QAQC also included creating void polygons for use during review. All necessary edits were applied to the dataset. GeoCue software was used to update LAS header information, including all projection and coordinate reference system information. The final lidar data are in LAS format 1.2 and point data record format 3.

The final classificaton scheme is as follows:

1-Unclassified

2-Ground

7-Noise

22-Bathymetric Noise

25-Water Column

26-Bathymetric Bottom

27-Water Surface

All data was then verified by an Independent QC department within Dewberry. The independent QC was performed by separate analysts who did not perform manual classification or editing. The independent QC involved quantitative and qualitative reviews.

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1142368
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received files in las format. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in UTM Zone 17 coordinates and ellipsoid elevations in meters. OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. Converted from UTM Zone 17 to geographic coordinates 2. Sorted by gps time 3. Compressed the data using laszip
