Item Identification

Title: 2015 OLC Lidar DEM: Yakima and Benton, WA
Status: Completed
Creation Date: Unknown
Publication Date: 2019-07-10
Abstract:

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) derived from a lidar point cloud data collected in the Yakima-Benton study area of Washington State. A total area of 194,615 acres were flown with an average of 8 points per square meter.

Purpose:

The collection of high resolution geographic data is part of an ongoing pursuit to amass a library of information accessible to government agencies as well as the general public.

Notes:

No metadata record was received with the data. This metadata record was created from the project report.

Data Quality

Vertical Positional Accuracy:

For the OLC Yakima-Benton study area, a total of 2,220 GSPs were collected. An additional 118 reserved ground survey points were collected for independent verification, resulting in an average accuracy of 0.017 meters and a fundamental vertical accuracy (FVA) of 0.042 meters. The root mean square error on hard surfaces was 0.022 meters.

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.
