Abstract

This project involved fixed wing aerial LIDAR data collected at a contracted point spacing of 0.70 meters for the Illinois County of Bureau totaling approximately 875 square miles. This classified LAS Data was created from the final controlled swath data.

This metadata record supports the data entry in the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). For this data set, the DAV is leveraging the Entwine Point Tiles (EPT) hosted by USGS on Amazon Web Services.

Distribution Information

  • Create custom data files by choosing data area, product type, map projection, file format, datum, etc. A new metadata will be produced to reflect your request using this record as a base. Change to an orthometric vertical datum is one of the many options.

  • LAS/LAZ - LASer

    Bulk download of data files in LAZ format, IL State Plane West NAD83(2011), US survey feet coordinates and NAVD88(Geoid12A) elevations in feet.

Access Constraints:

None

Use Constraints:

Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations.

Description:

Entwine Point Tile (EPT) is a simple and flexible octree-based storage format for point cloud data. The data is organized in such a way that the data can be reasonably streamed over the internet, pulling only the points you need. EPT files can be queried to return a subset of the points that give you a representation of the area. As you zoom further in, you are requesting higher and higher densities. A dataset in EPT will contain a lot of files, however, the ept.json file describes all the rest. The EPT file can be used in Potree and QGIS to view the point cloud.

Data Quality

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

2 ft RMSE

Vertical Positional Accuracy:

The LAS Data must meet a Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) equal to or less than 0.328 feet (10cm ) RMSEz and Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) equal to or less than 29.4cm at the 95th percentile. These vertical accuracies were tested using 105 independent survey check points in the following feature types: bare earth (21), Short Grass (22), Tall Grass (22), Trees/Forested (20) and Brush (20). The vertical accuracy is 0.174 ft (5.3 cm) RMSE.

Completeness Report:

All files are inspected to ensure that they conform to the specified file naming conventions, all files load in their correct geographic position, all files conform to the project specifications for file standard and content

Conceptual Consistency:

This total point cloud classified LAS Data was created from the final controled swath data.

Data Management

Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: Yes
Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: Unknown
Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: Yes
Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: NCEI-CO
How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?:

Data is backed up to tape and to cloud storage.

Lineage

Lineage Statement:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) ingested references to the USGS Entwine Point Tile (EPT) files hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) into the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). The DAV accesses the point cloud as it resides on AWS under the usgs-lidar-public-container.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1269404
Description:

Acquisition was completed in early December 2015 using a twin engine Cessna 335 equipped with a Leica ALS70HP. Flight plan parameters were based on 6397 feet AGL, 40 deg FOV, 260,400 pulse rate, 20% sidelap, 0.67 meter NPS. Crews based out of IL Valley Regional and Kewanee Airports.

All flights have calibration lines flown at beginning and end of flight perpendicular to lines captured during that mission. Base stations were continuously running during missions and placed so flight baseline never exceeds 25 miles.

GPS-IMU captured during flight was processed using Waypoint's Inertial Explorer software. The bare-earth Lidar data was processed to USGS (NGP) Base Lidar Specifications V1.2 using the Terrasolid software suite. LiDAR point was initally processed with macros to locate bare earth ground, buildings and three classes of vegetation but was manually reviewed by experienced technicians in TerraScan or LP360 software for proper point classifciations in LAS tile format. Derivative product formats such as *.DAT, *.DGN, ESRI raster grid and TIN formats were produced using ESRI, Microstation and other software formats.

Hydro features were collected on streams and rivers 100~ feet or wider and on lakes 2~ acres or larger. These lines were hydro flattened into the Lidar data and delivered in ESRI geodatabase file format.

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1269499
Description:

Original point clouds in LAS/LAZ format were restructured as Entwine Point Tiles and stored on Amazon Web Services. The data were re-projected horizontally to WGS84 web mercator (EPSG 3857) and no changes were made to the vertical elevations in NAVD88 (GEOID12A).

Process Contact: U.S. Geological Survey

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1269500
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) created references to the Entwine Point Tile (EPT) file that was ingested into the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). No changes were made to the data. The DAV will access the point cloud as it resides on Amazon Web Services (AWS) under the usgs-lidar-public container. During review of the data, OCM noted that there were several tiles that seem to have incomplete laz point coverage. This issue was reported to the USGS TNM Help Desk.
