dataset
Horizontal Positional Accuracy
This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 24.1 cm RMSEx / RMSEy Horizontal Accuracy Class which equates to Positional Horizontal Accuracy = +/- 47.2 cm at a 95% confidence level.
Quantitative value: 0.241m
Horizontal error in lidar derived elevation data is largely a function of positional error as derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), attitude (angular orientation) error (as derived from the INS) and flying altitude; and can be estimated based on these parameters.
Vertical Positional Accuracy
This data set was tested to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10 cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class.
The Eastern Block actual NVA accuracy was found to be RMSEz = 10.3 cm, equating to +/- 20.2 cm at 95% confidence level. Actual VVA accuracy was found to be +/- 28.9 cm at the 95th percentile.
Note: The overall NVA accuracy for the entire dataset is RMSEz = 9.992, once Eastern and Western values are averaged.
(The Western Block AOI actual NVA accuracy was found to be RMSEz = 8.2 cm, equating to +/- 16.1 cm at 95% confidence level. Actual VVA accuracy was found to be +/- 12.5 cm at the 95th percentile.)
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. Once clean bare earth points are established, all products are created.
Conceptual Consistency
LiDAR data is collected within the project area and processed. Control points were used during calibration to verify accuracy.
Using a Leica Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) system, 4PPM LiDAR data was collected over the East Texas AOI. Multiple returns were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The data acquisition occurred in ten missions between February 22nd and March 4th, 2017. During the LIDAR campaign, the Sanborn field crew conducted a GPS field survey to establish final coordinates of the ground base stations for final processing of the base-remote GPS solutions.
2017-01-01T00:00:00
Airborne GPS data was differentially processed and integrated with the post processed IMU data to derive a Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET). IMU data provides information concerning roll, pitch and yaw of collection platform during collection event. IMU information allows the pulse vector to be properly placed in 3D space allowing the distance from the aircraft reference point to be properly positioned on the elevation model surface. The SBET was used to reduce the LiDAR slant range measurements to a raw reflective surface for each flight line.
Airborne GPS is differentially processed using the Inertial Explorer software by Leica Geosystems.
2017-01-01T00:00:00
Leica's CloudPro software then combined the SBET and Raw Laser (.scn) files to produce raw point cloud swath data in LAS v1.4 format.
2017-01-01T00:00:00
The raw swath point cloud data was then calibrated using TerraMatch, a TerraSolid software, to correct relative bias in conjoining swaths that include roll, pitch, heading, Scale, and elevation. The swath data is then compared against the calibration control points and adjusted vertically to exceed the vertical accuracy requirements for the project.
2017-01-01T00:00:00
The georeferenced lidar data is then classified and edited in Terrasolid Terrascan software. Data is classified to produce: Class 1: unclassified, Class 2: ground, Class 3: low veg, Class 4: med veg, Class 5: high veg, Class 6: building, Class 7: low point, Class 9: water, Class 10: ignored ground, Class 13: bridge deck, Class 14: culverts
2017-01-01T00:00:00
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) retrieved 1,130 laz files from the Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS.org). The files were in UTM 15N NAD83 (2011) meters horizontally, and NAVD88 Geoid12b meters vertically. OCM segregated the Western and Eastern portions and processed them as separate datasets for provisioning.
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 NAD83 (2011) ellipsoid elevations using the Geoid 12b model, to convert from UTM Zone 15 North NAD83 (2011) coordinates in meters to geographic coordinates, to assign the geokeys, to sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and to http.
