Data Quality
Vertical Positional Accuracy: |
Project specifications require that vertical accuracy, as RMSE, of lidar data be less than 9.25 cm in open terrain. Vertical accuracy is determined by comparison of elevation of the ground survey points to DEMs derived from the lidar points. Differences are calculated to establish a RSME. The FVA is determined using ground survey points collected in "Open Terrain" compared to elevation values of a DEM derived from the final lidar points classified as bare earth. Differences in elevations are calculated to determine a RSME. The RMSE value is multiplied by 1.96 to establish the FVA. Quantitative value: 0.21 feet (6.25 cm) RMSE calculated by comparison of open terrain survey points to DEM elevations. FVA tested 0.40 feet (12.25 cm) vertical accuracy at 95-percent confidence level., Test that produced the value: The vertical accuracy meets the requirement of RMSE less than 9.25 cm and of a FVA less than 18.13 cm. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
Description: |
Ground based survey points are collected to be compared as check points with airborne data points. Measurements are recorded by Quantum Spatial for use in establishment of the lidar point set to ground elevations (indexing). Additional ground survey points are made in representative ground cover categories to provide for vertical accuracy assessment of lidar data or derivative models. |

Process Date/Time: | 2014-06-26 00:00:00 |
Process Step 2
Description: |
Airborne lidar collection survey is conducted using fixed wing aircraft equipped with a lidar scanning system following specifications of the flight plan. Acquisition flights are planned to assure full coverage of the project area in consideration of local surface terrains. Flight plan is accessed by the aircraft navigation system to achieve predetermined flight specifications. The lidar sensor is calibrated prior to each mission. GPS and IMU data are collected during lidar acquisition to aid in lidar swath calibration. |
---|---|
Process Date/Time: | 2014-04-19 00:00:00 |
Process Step 3
Description: |
Airborne GPS and IMU data are merged to develop a Single Best Estimate Trajectory for each swath. Lidar data are calibrated using previous best parameters for this instrument and aircraft. Relative calibration is evaluated using plane-matching analysis and parameter corrections are derived. This is repeated iteratively until residual errors between overlapping swaths, across all project lifts, is reduced to acceptable levels. Data are block adjusted to surveyed control points. Raw FVA is checked using surveyed ground checkpoints. The raw points are applied to a 5000 x 5000 foot grid. The unclassified points are output and named as per a client supplied 5000 foot grid tile. |
---|---|
Process Date/Time: | 2014-04-19 00:00:00 |
Process Step 4
Description: |
Points in the calibrated swaths are classified using analysis routines and proprietary software. The routines analyze information on all points to establish appropriate Class designations. Classified lidar is inspected on a per tile basis for local classification, manual editing, and peer-based QC checks. The bare earth surface is manually reviewed to ensure correct classification of Class 2 (Ground) points. After the bare-earth surface is finalized, it is used to guide hydro-breaklines generation through heads-up digitization. All overlap data is processed through automated functionality provided by TerraScan to classify the overlapping flight line data to approved classes by USGS. The overlap data is classified to Class 17 (Overlap Default) and Class 18 (Overlap Ground). These classes are created through automated processes only and are not verified for classification accuracy. Due to software limitations within TerraScan, these classes are used to trip the withheld bit within various software packages. These processes were reviewed and accepted by USGS. All data was manually reviewed and any remaining artifacts removed using controls and tools in TerraScan and TerraModeler. Global Mapper is used as a final check of the bare earth dataset. GeoCue creates the deliverable industry-standard LAS files for both the All Point Cloud Data and the Bare Earth. All classification tags are stored in the original swath files. Classifications follow ASPRS guidelines: Non-ground (Class 1), Ground (Class 2), Low Vegetation (Class 3). Medium Vegetation (Class 4), High Vegetation (Class 5), Buildings (Class 6), Noise/Low Points (Class 7), Model Keypoints (Class 8), Water (Class 9), Ignored Ground/Breakline proximity (Class 10) After completion of classification and final QC approval, the FVA, SVAs, and CVA for the project are calculated. Vertical accuracy is determined by comparison of elevation of the ground survey check points to elevations of DEMs derived from the lidar Ground points. Differences are calculated to establish a RSME, FVA, CVA and SVA. |

USGS converted the data to Entwine Point Tiles format. NOAA is leveraging the data in EPT format to generate custom lidar products. This metadata was created to support that usage. |
