Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1292442

Description:

Acquisition.

LiDAR data acquisition was conducted from May 10 to June 12, 2015. The survey utilized an Optech Orion H mounted in a Partenavia P-68 and a Leica ALS70 mounted in a Cessna Grand Carravan.

Process Date/Time:

2015-01-01 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1292443

Description:	Processing: Lidar data were processed to generate a point cloud and ground points were classified. NAIP imagery was used to add an RGB component to each point.
Process Date/Time:	2015-01-01 00:00:00
Source:	raw lidar data

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1292444

Description:	Digital Elevation Model (DEM) tiles were created from the lidar points classified as ground points.
Source:	processed lidar data

Process Step 4

CC ID: 1292445

Description:	NOAA/OCM received the data from DOGAMI in NAD83(2011) UTM Zone 11 coordinates and NAVD88 (geoid12a) heights with units of meters both horizontally and vertically. Data were converted from Arc Grid format to GeoTiff and ingested into the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.
