        abstract:  A digital elevation model (DEM) mosaic was produced for Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia, post-Hurricane Hermine, from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected by Quantum Spatial using a Riegl VQ-880-G (532-nm wavelength circular scan and 1064-nm wavelength linear scan) lidar sensor.
        purpose:  The purpose of this project was to produce a highly detailed and accurate digital elevation map for Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia for use as a management tool and to make these data available to natural-resource managers and research scientists. To ensure that SPCMSC data management protocols were followed, this survey was assigned a USGS field activity number (FAN), 16CNT03. Additional survey and data details are available at http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=16CNT03. USGS Contract: G16PC00016 Task Order Number: G16D01063
        credit:  Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected. Sharing of new data layers developed directly from these data would also be appreciated by the U.S. Geological Survey staff. Users should be aware that comparisons with other datasets for the same area from other periods may be inaccurate because of inconsistencies resulting from changes in photointerpretation, mapping conventions, and digital processes over time.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  Quantum Spatial reports that the contract specifications required that only Nonvegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) were computed for raw lidar point cloud swath files. The vertical accuracy was tested with 13 independent surveys located in open terrain. These check points were not used in the calibration or post-processing of the lidar point cloud data. The survey check points were distributed throughout the project area. The independent check points were surveyed using the closed level loop technique. Elevations from the unclassified lidar surface were measured for the x,y location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the lidar surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was computed to be 0.042. AccuracyZ has been tested as 0.082 meters AccuracyZ at 95 percent Confidence Interval, meeting 19.6 cm NVA at 95 percent confidence level using (RMSEz * 1.9600) as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Guidelines.Qualitative value:0.072 meters AccuracyZ at the 95 percent Confidence Interval for Raw LAS NVA. 0.063 meters AccuracyZ at the 95 percent Confidence Interval for DEM NVA. 0.137 meters AccuracyZ at the 95th percentile for DEM VVA., Test that produced the value: Quantum Spatial reports that the 13 independent NVA check points were surveyed using the closed level loop technique. Elevations interpolated from the unclassified lidar surface were compared to the elevation values of the surveyed NVA check points. The RMSE was computed to be 0.037 meters resulting in an AccuracyZ at the 95% confidence level of 0.072 meters. The 13 NVA check points were also compared to the elevations of the derived bare earth DEMs. The RMSE was computed to be 0.032 meters resulting in an AccuracyZ of 0.063 meters at the 95% confidence level. NVA AccuracyZ has been tested and meets the required 19.6 meter NVA at 95% confidence level using (RMSEz * 1.9600) for both the raw lidar point cloud and derived DEMs, as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) and herein reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines. The 13 VVA check points were also surveyed using the closed level loop technique. Elevations for these points were compared to the elevations of the derived bare earth DEMs. The RMSE was computed to be 0.078 meters resulting in an AccuracyZ of 0.137 meters at the 95th percentile. AccuracyZ has been tested on the derived bare earth DEMs and meets the required 29.4 meter VVA using the 95th percentile of the absolute value of all vertical errors in all combined vegetation classes as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); and herein reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines.

            processStep:  (LI_ProcessStep)
                description:  Quantum Spatial reports the following steps for 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 correction. 5. Import raw laser points into manageable blocks to perform manual relative accuracy calibration and filter erroneous points. Apply the refraction correction necessary for bathymetric data. Classify ground/bathymetric 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.

                description:  Quantum Spatial reports the following steps for Bathymetric Coverage: Bathymetric coverage was determined by triangulating bathymetric points (class 40) with and edge length maximum of 4.56m to identify all areas >9m2 lacking bathymetric data. This shapefile was used to control the extent of the topobathymetric DEMs.

                description:  The provided DEM .IMG files were mosaicked using Global Mapper 16 (20160309) and exported as a GeoTIFF.

                description:  The merged GeoTiff file was received from USGS by NOAA OCM. The georeferencing codes were changed to reflect NAD83(2011) and NAVD88 instead of generic NAD83. Coordinates were not changed. The GeoTiff was processed to a cloud optimized GeoTiff (COG) using GDAL version 2.4.1.
