Item Identification

Title: 2020 GLOS Underwater Lidar: Lake Huron, MI
Short Name: 2020 underwater lidar m9302
Status: Completed
Creation Date: 2020-11-18
Abstract:

Elevations were collected using an underwater laser scanner (lidar) in Lake Huron, MI from November 16 to 18, 2020. Data were geospatially adjusted to match a multibeam survey conducted at the same time. Positional accuracy was not accessed. Data represent the best estimate of the bottom surface.

Purpose:

Utilize remote inspection technologies and laser technologies to collect high resolution point cloud data at potential features of interest as identified in the multi-beam survey.

Data Quality

Accuracy:

The positional accuracy has not been tested. The lidar were matched to multi-beam data and are expected to have similar accuracy and may match IHO special order.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1145939
Description:

Multiple locations were tried to test the ROV and laser system. The Detroit River, St. Clair River, and Lake Erie shoreline were found to lack the necessary water clarity. Lake Huron was tried in locations identified using navigation charts. A target was located that appeared to be a large cargo shipwreck. The City of Genoa was a grain freighter that sunk in 1911. The basic structure of the wreck remains on the bed of Lake Huron heavily deteriorated. The ROV was launched at the site and successfully collected laser data of the wreck. Ambient light in the water limited the usable range of the laser, so passes were collected over some areas only.

Process Date/Time: 2020-11-18 00:00:00

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1145940
Description:

A review of the data collected during the inspections was completed in the ASI office. The 3D files were converted to point clouds and erroneous noise was removed. The LiDAR files were adjusted in position to best file the sonar data collected of the wreck. The assembly of this report was then completed. The report includes documentation methodology, equipment

descriptions, observations, observation images, and 3D dataset.

Data files are provided of the various areas survey by MBES in meters located in UTM zone 17 as collected and in elevation referenced to NAVD88 and adjusted using Geoid 2018-CONUS. The laser data is provided in LAS format as collected as well as in cleaned XYZ files that have been best-fit positioned to match the MBES data.

Process Date/Time: 2020-11-18 00:00:00
Source: Raw data

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1145941
Description:

Data were delivered to the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and subsequently passed to NOAA Digital Coast for distribution. Both the cleaned text files and the raw LAS files were received. The raw LAS files did not have sufficient information to do the geometric corrections that had been done to the cleaned text files and were not further processed. The cleaned text files were converted to LAS/LAZ format using LAStools txt2las. The points are all tagged as class 2 (ground) as it is presumed that the cleaning step removed non-ground/bathymetry.

This metadata record was created from the report delivered by ASI Group to GLOS. No other metadata was received. GLOS was consulted regarding any accuracy assessments or contractual spatial accuracy requirements. There were none. The accuracy is assumed to be on par with the multi-beam echo sounder data collected at the same time, but that also does not appear to have an accuracy assessment.

Process Step 4

CC ID: 1145942
Description:

Data were converted from UTM zone 17 NAD83(2011) orthometric NAVD88 coordinates to NAD83(2011) ellipsoid heights in geographic coordinates. This allows the distribution through the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer, which may do further coordinate system changes.
