Data Quality
Horizontal Positional Accuracy: |
Horizontal positional accuracy for Wayne is dependent upon the quality of the GPS/INS solution, sensor calibration and ground conditions at the time of data capture. The standard system results for horizontal accuracy meet or exceed the project specified 1.0 meter RMSE. This value is computed by comparing ground control to a DEM derived from the classified LiDAR data and represents the RMSE of residuals on controls within the project area. |
---|---|
Vertical Positional Accuracy: |
For the DEM data derived from the classified point cloud, the NVA and VVA were computed. The vertical accuracy was tested with independent survey check points located in various terrain types within the 12 county control area. These check points were not used in the calibration or post processing of the lidar point cloud data. The survey check points were distributed throughout the block area. Specifications for this project require that the NVA be 19.6 cm or better @ 95 percent confidence level. The raw NVA was tested using 185 independent survey check points located in flat terrain types within the 12 county area. The survey checkpoints were distributed throughout the block area. The 185 independent check points were surveyed using static GPS base stations collecting point location for 20 minute intervals. Elevations were measured for the x,y,z location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. The RMSEz was computed to be 0.066m. AccuracyZ has been tested to meet 10 cm Nonvegetated Vertical Accuracy at 95 Percent confidence level using RMSE(z) x 1.9600 as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines. The NVA was tested using 185 independent survey check points located in bare earth terrain types within the 12 county area. The 185 independent check points contained all NVA points and were surveyed using static GPS base stations collecting point location for 20 minute intervals. Elevations were measured for the x,y,z location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the DEM surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. The RMSEz was computed to be 0.066m, or 0.13m @ 95 percent confidence level defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASRPS Guidelines. The VVA was tested using 132 independent survey check points located in various vegetation terrain types within the 12 county area. The 132 independent check points were surveyed using static GPS base stations collecting point location for 20 minute intervals. Elevations were measured for the x,y,z location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the DEM surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. The RMSEz was computed to be 0.104m, or 0.20m @ 95th Percentile defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASRPS Guidelines. |
Completeness Report: |
LiDAR data is collected for the project area. Post processing of the simultaneously acquired GPS/INS is performed and applied to the laser returns to output a point cloud in the specified project coordinate system and datums. The point cloud data is then subjected to automated classification routines to assign all points in the point cloud to ground, water, overlap and unclassified point classes. Anomalous laser returns that occur infrequently are removed entirely from the data set. Once clean bare earth points are established, DEMs are created using bare earth points and hydro features. The DEM surface is then compared to the survey checkpoints. These accuracies must pass the Non-Vegetated and Vegetated Vertical Accuracy specifications. |
Conceptual Consistency: |
LiDAR data is collected within the project area and processed. After all of the deliverables were created, the dataset was verified against control. The control points were compared to the following counties and reported as one accuracy assessment: Tuscola, Huron, Sanilac, St. Clair, Macomb, Oakland, Jackson, Washtenaw, Wayne, Hillsdale, Lenawee, Monroe. |

Process Step 7
Description: |
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded this data set from this USGS site: ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/Elevation/LPC/Projects/USGS_LPC_MI_WayneCo_2017_LAS_2018/ The total number of files downloaded and processed was 2901. The data were in MI State Plane South (2113) (NAD83 2011) coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid12B) elevations in international feet. The data were classified as: 1 - Unclassified, 2 - Ground, 7 - Low Noise, 9 - Water, 10 - Ignored Ground, 17 - Bridge Decks, 18 - High Noise. OCM processed all classifications of points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). Classes available on the DAV are: 1, 2, 7, 9, 10, 17, 18. OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. An internal OCM script was run to check the number of points by classification and by flight ID and the gps and intensity ranges. 2. Internal OCM scripts were run on the laz files to convert from orthometric (NAVD88) elevations to ellipsoid elevations using the Geoid12B model, to convert from MI State Plane South (2113) (NAD83 2011) coordinates in international feet to geographic coordinates, to convert vertical units from feet to meters, to assign the geokeys, to sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and to http. |
