        abstract:  Lidar point cloud data collected to support FEMA flood risk analysis and mapping in Ketchikan, Alaska. Point cloud is classified as ground (class 2) and other (class 1). The data was collected under a FEMA contract to the Strategic Alliance for Risk Reduction (STARR) with an accuracy requirement to support 2-foot contours. Original tasking indicates additional classes would be populated (7, 9, 10, 11), but they are not in the data set. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  Terrain data are used to represent the topography of a watershed and/or floodplain environment and to extract useful information for hydraulic and hydrologic models. (Source: FEMA Guidelines and Standards for Flood Risk Analysis and Mapping.)

            nameOfMeasure:  Vertical Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Deliverables were tested by for both vertical and horizontal accuracy. The vertical unit of the data file is in meters with 2-decimal point precision. ASPRS, USGS, and FEMA vertical accuracy requirements were used to test lidar dataset. Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA) tested against survey data points measured 0.0513 meters at 95% confidence and and RMSE of 0.0496 RMSE. The errors were not normally distributed. See the QA report for more details.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  The bare earth surface data is an estimation of the bare earth surface and does not include vegetative and built features. Likewise, it contains estimates of water edges at the time of data collection, and may not reflect current conditions. The bare earth surface will contain voids where insufficient energy was reflected from the surface to generate a valid return from the terrain. Voids in the bare earth surface tend to occur in heavily vegetated areas, water bodies, and beneath buildings, motor vehicles, bridges etc. Fresh or wet asphalt, wet sand and certain types of vegetation can also cause voids or anomalous elevations. The data may have been further processed to remove points found to be within delineated water bodies. Low confidence areas are delineated and provided in a separate dataset.

        report:  (DQ_ConceptualConsistency)
            nameOfMeasure:  Conceptual Consistency
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Checks were performed to ensure the data files can be opened, are georeferenced properly, and cover the geographic area completely. Additionally, field survey checkpoints are obtained to evaluate the accuracy of LiDAR products. A minimum of 100 checkpoints are tested in a project area. At least 20 for 5 different land vegetation categories (forest, built-up, scrub, weeds/crop, and bare-earth/low grass) are tested with forested areas requiring a minimum of 40 checkpoints. A statistical analysis between the difference in elevations of the field survey checkpoints and LiDAR-derived, bare earth elevations at the same locations provides a quality assessment of the LiDAR data.

                description:  Terrain data used for flood risk analysis go through LiDAR preliminary processing and the unclassified point cloud data are tested as specified in the USGS National Geospatial Program Base LiDAR Specification Version 1.0. Where the Mapping Activity Statement (MAS) requires bare earth post-processing of the floodplain area of interest (AOI), the elevation data are tested and comply with both the Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA) and Consolidated Vertical Accuracy (CVA) requirements. Where no bare earth post-processing is specified, only the FVA requirements apply for LiDAR preliminary processing.

                description:  Ground Survey: RTK GPS based surveys were utilized to support both processing and testing of LiDAR data within FEMA designated Areas of Interest (AOIs). Geographically distinct ground points were surveyed using GPS technology throughout the AOIs to provide support for three distinct tasks. Task 1: Ground control monuments utilized for the STARR Ketchikan LiDAR dataset. Ground control monuments are used to provide redundant control within 13 nautical miles of mission areas for LiDAR flights, as well as the collection of ground control points using real-time kinematic (RTK) survey techniques. The horizontal datum for this dataset is NAD83 (2011), the vertical datum is NAVD88, Geoid 12A, and the data is projected in Alaska State Plane Zone 1. Units are in US Survey Feet. Task 2: RTK (real time kinematic) ground control points collected for the STARR Ketchikan LiDAR dataset. RTK ground control points are used to correct and verify the vertical accuracy of the LiDAR data. The horizontal datum for this dataset is NAD83 (2011), the vertical datum is NAVD88, Geoid 12A, and the data is projected in Alaska State Plane Zone 1. Units are in US Survey Feet. Task 3: Land cover class ground check points collected for the STARR Ketchikan LiDAR dataset. Land class ground check points are used to assess the vertical accuracy of the LiDAR data and are collected using real time kinematic (RTK) survey techniques. The horizontal datum for this dataset is NAD83 (2011), the vertical datum is NAVD88, Geoid 12A, and the data is projected in Alaska State Plane Zone 1. Units are in US Survey Feet.

                description:  LiDAR Acquisition: General: LiDAR collection was collected using a Leica ALS70 system mounted in a Piper Navajo airplane. Yielded an average pulse density of >= 4 pulses/square meter over the Ketchikan Project Area. Swath Acquisition: This swath dataset represents the STARR Ketchikan LiDAR study area. This data is delineated in 4800x4800 ft tiles. Tile naming is derived from the 4 four digits of the easting and first four digits of the northing coordinates of the lower left corner. Data is unclassified (class 0). The horizontal datum for this dataset is NAD83 (2011), the vertical datum is NAVD88, Geoid 12A, and it is projected in Alaska State Plane Zone 1. Units are in US Survey Feet. Quantum Spatial collected the STARR Ketchikan LiDAR data for STARR on 07/12/2014 and 07/13/2014 further information is available in the Ketchikan Post-Flight Aerial Acquisition Report. All areas were surveyed with an opposing flight line side-lap of >=50% (=100% overlap) in order to reduce laser shadowing and increase surface laser painting. To accurately solve for laser point position (geographic coordinates x, y and z), the positional coordinates of the airborne sensor and the attitude of the aircraft were recorded continuously throughout the LiDAR data collection mission. Position of the aircraft was measured twice per second (2 Hz) by an onboard differential GPS unit, and aircraft attitude was measured 200 times per second (200 Hz) as pitch, roll and yaw (heading) from an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU). All swath data were classified as Class 0 or Unclassified. Leica ALS70 Instrument Parameters: Beam diameter: 37 cm cm, Pulse rate: 175 kHz, Maximum returns: 4, Speed: 150 knots, Overlap: 60 %, Laser power: 93.6 %, Field of view (FOV): 30 degrees, Beam wavelength: 1064 nm, Frequency of GPS sampling: 2 Hz, Frequency of IMU sampling: 200 Hz, Swath width: 857 m, AGL: 5207 - 5315 MSL m, Average pulse density: 4

                description:  Bare Earth Processing: QSI processing staff initiated a suite of automated and manual techniques to process the data into ASPRS Class 2 Bare Earth. The calibrated and filt ered LiDAR point cloud was hand checked for accuracy. Generate bare earth models as triangulated surfaces. The calibrated and filtered LiDAR point cloud was hand checked for accuracy. All points were placed in one of the following categories: 1 Unclassified, 2 Ground, 7 Noise, and 12 Overlap Points. Model Key points were then generated from the Ground points and placed in Category 8. Requested elevation values were evaluated for the Consolidated Vertical Accuracy (CVA) testing.

                description:  Point cloud data were received from FEMA in LAS format, NAD83(2011) Alaska State Plane Zone 01 in US survey feet horizontally and vertically. The vertical datum was NAVD88 from Geoid12a. NOAA OCM reprojected to geographic coordinates and transformed the vertical coordinate system to height above the NAD83 ellipsoid in meters by reversing the Geoid12a model. Data were then ingested into the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer for distribution. Examination of the data indicated points were only in classes 1 and 2.
