2022 OGRIP Lidar DEM: Wood County, OH

This task is for a high-resolution data set of lidar covering the entire Wood County area (+/- 621.4 sq. mi). The lidar was collected and processed to meet a maximum Nominal Post Spacing (NPS) of 0.25 meter (16ppsm). Lidar data is a remotely sensed high resolution elevation data collected by a Leica City Mapper digital sensor active scanning (lidar) sensor. Lidar was collected on March 21 2022, and March 22, 2022 while no snow was on the ground, leaf-off and rivers were at or below normal levels. The lidar systems collect data point clouds that are used to produce highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures, and vegetation. The data was developed based on a horizontal datum/projection of NAD 83(HARN) State Plane Ohio North FIPS 3401 and a vertical datum of NAVD88 in units of US Survey Feet. Lidar data was delivered as processed LAS version 1.4 files formatted to 11,524 individual 1,250' x 1,250' tiles.

This dataset was downloaded by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) from the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP) to make the data available for bulk and custom downloads from the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.

Wood County, OH has a goal to develop and/or update their geospatial dataset for use by city agencies, other levels of government, academia, and the general public, and to provide these datasets for inclusion to OGRIP. OGRIP is a State of Ohio resource for geographic information technology users.

The information contained in these data is dynamic and may change over time. The data are not better than the original sources from which they were derived. It is the responsibility of the data user to use the data appropriately and within the limitations of the data for which it was requested and prepared, in general, and these data in particular. The related graphics are intended to aid the data user in acquiring relevant data. It is not appropriate to use the related graphics as data. Woolpert gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. It is strongly recommended that these data are directly acquired from a Woolpert server, and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. Although these data have been processed successfully upon Woolpert's computer system, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding the utility of the data on another system, or for general or scientific purposes; nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. This disclaimer applies both to individual use of the data and aggregate use with other data.

Any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA, the Office for Coastal Management or its partners.

Data is available online for bulk and custom downloads.

This data set is in the public domain, and the recipient may not assert any proprietary rights thereto nor represent it to any one as other than a data set produced by Wood County and the Ohio Statewide Imagery Program.

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.

Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.7

This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 0.106 m RMSEx / RMSEy Horizontal Accuracy Class which equates to Positional Horizontal Accuracy = +/- 0.260 m at a 95% confidence level.

This dataset was produced to meet 0.343 feet vertical accuracy at a 95 percent confidence level, derived according to NSSDA guidelines, in open terrain using Rmsez 0.175 ft (5.3 cm) x 1.960. Tested against the ground classified lidar points.

The lidar data is visually inspected for completeness to ensure that are no void areas or missing data.

All formatted data cover the entire area specified for this project and are validated using a combination of commercial lidar processing software, GIS software, and proprietary programs to ensure proper formatting and loading prior to delivery.
