Original Product: Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to individual 5,000ft x 5,000ft tiles covering the Washington DNR 3DEP Processing project area.
Geographic Extent of Original Data: This dataset and derived products encompass an area covering approximately 562,137 acres of Eastern Washington.
Original Dataset Description: The Washington DNR 3DEP Processing Lidar project called for the planning, acquisition, and processing of lidar data collected to Quality Level 1 (QL1) standards. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program LIDAR Base Specification, Version 2.1. The data was developed based on the NAD83 2011 horizontal datum and the NAVD88 Geoid 18 vertical datum. Data was projected in Washington State Plane North, U.S. feet. Lidar data was delivered as calibrated and classified LAS 1.4 files. Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) was assessed using 64 check points located on bare earth in clear, unobstructed areas. Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) was assessed using 43 check points in Tall Grass, Forest, and Shrub landcover types. Single swath nominal pulse spacing (NPS) was designed to be 0.70 meters at nadir. Aggregate Nominal Pulse Spacing (ANPS) was calculated to be 0.23 meters using all valid first return points. Derived products include: Intensity Imagery, Hydro-flattened Bare Earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), Highest Hit Digital Surface Models (DSMs), and 3D waters edge breaklines.
Ground Condition of Original Data: Ground condition was free of snow and acquisition occurred free of smoke, fog and cloud cover.
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.

Purpose: |
The purpose of the lidar data was to produce a high accuracy 3D dataset that meets all necessary standards laid out by the 3D Elevation Program and the Washington DNR 3DEP Processing contract. The lidar point cloud data were used to create classified lidar LAS files, intensity images, hydro-flattened DEMs, highest hit DSMs, and 3D breaklines of rivers and lakes within the study area. |

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: |
Lidar horizontal accuracy is a function of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) derived positional error, flying altitude, and INS derived attitude error. The obtained RMSEr value is multiplied by a conversion factor of 1.7308 to yield the horizontal component of the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) reporting standard where a theoretical point will fall within the obtained radius 95 percent of the time. Based on a flying altitude of 1,830 meters, an IMU error of 0.003 decimal degrees, and a GNSS positional error of 0.015 meters, the Washington DNR 3DEP Processing site was compiled to meet 0.98 feet (0.30 meters) horizontal accuracy at the 95% confidence level or 0.17 m RMSEr. |
---|---|
Vertical Positional Accuracy: |
This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standard for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10-cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. Specifications for this project require that the NVA be 0.196 meters or better AccuracyZ at 95% confidence level. Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) is also to be computed. Specifications for this project require that the VVA be 0.300 meters or better AccuracyZ at the 95th percentile. This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standard for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10-cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. USGS Determined Vertical Accuracy: Tested NVA RMSEz = 2.3 cm Tested 95th percentile value for VVA is : 14.7 cm For more information see the USGS project report and the lidar report. The links to these reports are provided in the URL section of this metadata record. |
Completeness Report: |
These LAS data files include all data points collected. No points have been removed or excluded. A visual qualitative assessment was performed to ensure data completeness. No void areas or missing data exist. The raw point cloud is of good quality and data passes Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy specifications. |
Conceptual Consistency: |
Classified LAS files were tested by NV5 Geospatial for vertical accuracy. All data is seamless from one tile to the next, no gaps or no data areas. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
Description: |
Lidar Pre-Processing: 1. Review flight lines and data to ensure complete coverage of the study area and positional accuracy of the laser points. 2. Resolve kinematic corrections for aircraft position data using kinematic aircraft GPS and static ground GPS data. 3. Develop a smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) file that blends post-processed aircraft position with sensor head position and attitude recorded throughout the survey. 4. Calculate laser point position by associating SBET position to each laser point return time, scan angle, intensity, etc. Create raw laser point cloud data for the entire survey in *.las format. Convert data to orthometric elevations by applying a Geoid 18 correction. 5. Import raw laser points into manageable blocks to perform manual relative accuracy calibration and filter erroneous points. Classify ground points for individual flight lines. 6. Using ground classified points per each flight line, test the relative accuracy. Perform automated line-to-line calibrations for system attitude parameters (pitch, roll, heading), mirror flex (scale) and GPS/IMU drift. Calculate calibrations on ground classified points from paired flight lines and apply results to all points in a flight line. Use every flight line for relative accuracy calibration. 7. Adjust the point cloud by comparing ground classified points to supplemental ground control points. |

Process Step 2
Description: |
Lidar Post-Processing: 1. Classify data to ground and other client designated classifications using proprietary classification algorithms. 2. Manually QC data classification 3. After completion of classification and final QC approval, calculate final NVA, VVA, and density information for the project using ground control quality check points. |

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 and the vertical units of feet were converted to meters (NAVD88 GEOID18). |
