FVA compares known ground quality assurance point data collected on open, bare earth surfaces with level slope (<20°) to the triangulated surface generated by the LiDAR points. FVA is a measure of the accuracy of LiDAR point data in open areas where the LiDAR system has a high probability of measuring the ground surface and is evaluated at the 95% confidence interval (1.96 * RMSE). The mean and standard deviation of divergence of the ground surface model from quality assurance point coordinates are also considered during accuracy assessment. These statistics assume the error for x, y, and z is normally distributed, and therefore the skew and kurtosis of distributions are also considered when evaluating error statistics. For the Chena River Lakes survey, 80 quality assurance points were used for Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA) calculations which resulted in an FVA value of 0.188 feet (0.057 meters) . Vertical accuracy was also assessed using Supplemental Vertical Accuracy (SVA) and Consolidated Vertical Accuracy (CVA) reporting. SVA compares known ground check point data within individual land cover class categories to the triangulated ground surface generated by the ground classified LiDAR points while CVA compares known ground check points within all land cover classes. SVA and CVA are evaluated at the 95th percentile.

Acquisition parameters including orientation relative to terrain, flight altitude, pulse rate, scan angle, and ground speed were adapted to optimize flight paths and flight times while meeting all contract specifications. Factors such as satellite constellation availability and weather windows must be considered during the planning stage. Any weather hazards or conditions affecting the flights were continuously monitored due to their potential impact on the daily success of airborne and ground operations. In addition, logistical considerations including private property access and potential air space restrictions were reviewed. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Acquisition The LiDAR survey was accomplished using a Leica ALS80 system mounted in a Cessna Caravan. Table 3 in the technical report summarizes the settings used to yield an average pulse density of greater than or equal to 12 pulses/m2 over the Chena River Lakes project area. The Leica ALS80 laser system can record unlimited range measurements (returns) per pulse. It is not uncommon for some types of surfaces (e.g., dense vegetation or water) to return fewer pulses to the LiDAR sensor than the laser originally emitted. The discrepancy between first return and overall delivered density will vary depending on terrain, land cover, and the prevalence of water bodies. All discernible laser returns were processed for the output dataset. All areas were surveyed with an opposing flight line side-lap of ≥60% (≥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). To allow for post-processing correction and calibration, aircraft and sensor position and attitude data are indexed by GPS time. dateTime: DateTime: 2016-05-01T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Ground Control Ground control surveys, including monumentation and the collection of ground survey points (GSPs), were conducted by DOWL to support the airborne acquisition. Ground control data were used to geospatially correct the aircraft positional coordinate data and to perform quality assurance checks on final LiDAR data. QSI used static GNSS data provided by DOWL from base stations set up over three monument locations for the Chena River Lakes LiDAR project All survey data were reviewed by QSI staff upon receipt, and monument positions were verified by processing static GNSS data against nearby Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) using the Online Positioning User Service (OPUS1). Ground survey points were collected by DOWL using real time kinematic survey techniques and supplied to QSI for LiDAR calibration. In addition to ground survey points, land cover class control points were collected and provided by DOWL throughout the study area. Individual accuracies were calculated for each land cover type to assess confidence in the LiDAR-derived ground models across land cover classes. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Lidar Processing Upon completion of data acquisition, QSI processing staff initiated a suite of automated and manual techniques to process the data into the requested deliverables. Processing tasks included GPS control computations, smoothed best estimate trajectory (SBET) calculations, kinematic corrections, calculation of laser point position, sensor and data calibration for optimal relative and absolute accuracy, and LiDAR point classification. Processing methodologies were tailored for the landscape. Resolve kinematic corrections for aircraft position data using kinematic aircraft GPS and static ground GPS data. 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. 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 (ASPRS v. 1.2) format. Convert data to orthometric elevations by applying a geoid06 correction Import raw laser points into manageable blocks to perform manual relative accuracy calibration and filter erroneous points. Classify ground points for individual flight lines. 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. Classify resulting data to ground and other client designated ASPRS classifications. Assess statistical absolute accuracy via direct comparisons of ground classified points to ground control survey data. Generate bare earth models as triangulated surfaces. Generate highest hit models as a surface expression of all classified points. Export all surface models as ESRI GRIDs at a 3.0 foot pixel resolution. Correct intensity values for variability and export intensity images as GeoTIFFs at a 1.5 foot pixel resolution. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded 507 laz files from the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys data Portal (https://elevation.alaska.gov/). The files contained elevation and intensity measurements for the 2016 Chena River Lakes data set. The data set deliverable parameters provided in the technical report for projection and units, are incorrectly provided in the report for the point data. The report indicates that the data are in Alaska State Plane Zone 3, NAD83 (NSRS2007), US survey feet and in NAVD88 (GEOID06) with vertical units in US survey feet. After examining the data and using the LAStools script lasinfo, the data downloaded from AK DGGS, appear to actually be in UTM Zone 6N, NAD83, meters, and in vertical units of meters. The data were classified as: 1 - Unclassified, 2 - Ground, 7 - Noise, 9 - Water. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management processed all points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. The LAStools software scripts lasinfo and lasvalidate were run on the laz files to check for errors. 2. An internal OCM script was run to check the number of points by classification and by flight ID and the gps and intensity ranges. 3. Internal OCM scripts were run on the laz files to convert from UTM Zone 6N, NAD83, meters coordinates to geographic coordinates, to convert from NAVD88 elevations to ellipsoid elevations using the GEOID06 model, to assign the geokeys, to sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and to http. dateTime: DateTime: 2018-06-11T00:00:00 processor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Office for Coastal Management role: (CI_RoleCode) processor processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The vertical values in this data set have been converted to reference North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) (GEOID12B) meters, using the GEOID12B grids provided by the National Geodetic Survey.
