Title: 2017 NOAA NGS Topobathy Lidar DEM: Dog Island, FL
Short Name: NOAA_FL1608_Topobathy_DEM.xml
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2019-03-15
Abstract:

These data were collected by NOAA using a Riegl VQ880G sensor. The data were acquired from April 14, 2017 through April 16, 2017. The data includes topobathy data in LAS 1.2 format classified as created, unclassified (1); ground (2); topographic noise (7); bathymetric noise (22); water column (25); bathymetric bottom (26); water surface (27); in accordance with project specifications. The project consists of approximately 35 square miles of data along the shores of Dog Island. This dataset contains 616 500 m x 500 m lidar tiles.

Purpose:

Dog Island has been identified as having critical topographic and bathymetric data gaps by NOAA. This lidar data will fill those critical gaps.

Supplemental Information:

The full workflow used for this project is found in the final project report submitted to NOAA.

Data Quality

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

NOAA acquired and calibrated all lidar data and Dewberry classified this data and created derivative products. As such, Dewberry did not perform any absolute positional accuracy testing on this dataset. The DEMs are derived from the source lidar and inherit the accuracy of the source data. The DEMs are created using controlled and tested methods to limit the amount of error introduced during DEM production.

Vertical Positional Accuracy:

NOAA acquired and calibrated all lidar data and Dewberry classified this data and created derivative products. NOAA collected the lidar to have 15cm vertical accuracy at 1 sigma. Dewberry did not perform any absolute positional accuracy testing on this dataset. The DEMs are derived from the source lidar and inherit the accuracy of the source data. The DEMs are created using controlled and tested methods to limit the amount of error introduced during DEM production.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1292199
Description:

Data for the Dog Island 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 16 North

Horizontal Units-meters

Vertical Datum-NAD83(2011) epoch: 2010

Vertical Units-meters

This dataset encompasses 616 500m x 500m tiles. Both green lidar data and NIR lidar data was 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.

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 algorithms in TerraScan to create the initial 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 classification scheme is as follows:

1-Unclassified

2-Ground

7-Topographic Noise

22-Bathymetric Noise

25-Water Column

26-Bathymetric Bottom

27-Water surface

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

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1292200
Description:

Dewberry made a copy of the final lidar data and transformed the data from ellipsoid heights to orthometric heights, referenced to NAVD88 Geoid 12B, meters. The lidar data in orthometric heights were used to create the final topobathymetric DEMs in orthometric heights

Lidar data were converted to a LAS Dataset. Lidar data classified as ground (2) and submerged topography (26) were then used to generate a raster in IMG format with 1 meter pixel resolution. The output raster was created over the full AOI area to reduce edge-matching issues and improve seamlessness. The raster was clipped to the tile grid and named according to project specifications to result in tiled topobathymetric DEMs.

All tiled DEMs incorporate the use of the void polygons. The void polygons represent bathymetric areas with no bathymetric bottom returns and are set as NoData in the DEMs. Void polygon creation is described in the final project report and the void polygon metadata.

A confidence layer has been created and provided to NOAA as part of the deliverables. The confidence layer is a raster product in IMG format with 1 meter square pixels. The confidence layer provides a standard deviation value for every pixel by calculating the standard deviation of all ground and/or submerged topography lidar points that are located within a single pixel. The confidence layer pixels align to the pixels in the topobathy DEMs. The confidence layer can be displayed by unique values or classified into desired bins/ranges for analysis over larger areas.
