Three project areas for this dataset are: 1. Lansing Shoals - 4273 individual 500 m x 500 m tiles 2. Green Bay - 1837 individual 500 m x 500 m tiles 3. Lake Huron - 2871 individual 500 m x 500 m tiles Geographic Extent: The Michigan coastline along parts of northern Lake Michigan and northern Lake Huron, covering approximately 627 square miles. 1. Lansing Shoals portion (Lake Michigan) of the AOI covers approximately 311 square miles 2. Green Bay portion (Lake Michigan) of the AOI covers approximately 116 square miles 3, Lake Huron portion of the AOI covers approximately 200 square miles Dataset Description: The Great Lakes Topobathymetric Lidar project called for the planning, acquisition, processing and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 1 meter for bathymetric areas. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 1.3. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD83 (2011), UTM zones 16N and 17N, meters and vertical datum of NAVD88 (Geoid 18), meters. Ground Conditions: 1. Lansing Shoals - Lidar was collected for the Lansing Shoals region from September 14, 2023 to September 25, 2023, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels 2. Green Bay - Lidar was collected for the Green Bay region from September 28, 2023 to October 5, 2023, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. 3, Lake Huron - Lidar was collected for the Northern Lake Huron region from September 16, 2023 to October 4, 2023, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data. purpose: This project has two primary goals to fill critical gaps in our understanding of benthic habitat within Lakes Michigan and Huron. The first goal is the collection of new bathymetric lidar to support multiple agencies including NOAA; US Fish and Wildlife Service; state agencies with Michigan and Wisconsin; and other regional partners' mapping and modeling needs by expanding existing high resolution bathymetry coverage in and around the Entry to Lansing Shoals and Lansing Shoals, Lake Michigan, and Northern Huron in Lake Huron. The second goal is to use this bathymetry in the creation of new benthic mapping products using the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS). Classified LAS files are used to show the manually reviewed bare earth surface. This allows the user to create Intensity Images and Raster DEMs. The purpose of these lidar data was to produce high accuracy Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a 1 meter cell size. These lidar point cloud data were used to create intensity images and topobathymetric DEMs as necessary. credit: Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) The custom download may be cited as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.

Photo-identifiable checkpoints in intensity imagery typically include checkpoints located at the ends of paint stripes on concrete or asphalt surfaces or checkpoints located at 90 degree corners of different reflectivity, e.g. a sidewalk corner adjoining a grass surface. The xy coordinates of checkpoints, as defined in the intensity imagery, are compared to surveyed xy coordinates for each photo-identifiable checkpoint. These differences are used to compute the tested horizontal accuracy of the lidar. As not all projects contain photo-identifiable checkpoints, the horizontal accuracy of the lidar cannot always be tested. Lidar vendors calibrate their lidar systems during installation of the system and then again for every project acquired. Typical calibrations include cross flights that capture features from multiple directions that allow adjustments to be performed so that the captured features are consistent between all swaths and cross flights from all directions. This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 41 cm RMSEx/RMSEy Horizontal Accuracy Class which equates to Positional Horizontal Accuracy = +/- 1 meter at a 95% confidence level. result: (missing) report: (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy) nameOfMeasure: Vertical Positional Accuracy evaluationMethodDescription: The topographic portion of this lidar dataset was tested to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10 cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class.

The following steps describe the Raw Data Processing and Boresight process: 1) Technicians processed the raw data to LAS format flight lines using the final GPS/IMU solution. This LAS data set was used as source data for boresight. 2) Technicians first used proprietary and commercial software to calculate initial boresight adjustment angles based on sample areas selected in the lift. These areas cover calibration flight lines collected in the lift, cross tie and production flight lines. These areas are well distributed in the lift coverage and cover multiple terrain types that are necessary for boresight angle calculation. The technician then analyzed the results and made any necessary additional adjustment until it is acceptable for the selected areas. 3) Once the boresight angle calculation was completed for the selected areas, the adjusted settings were applied to all of the flight lines of the lift and checked for consistency. The technicians utilized commercial and proprietary software packages to analyze how well flight line overlaps match for the entire lift and adjusted as necessary until the results met the project specifications. 4) Once all lifts were completed with individual boresight adjustment, the technicians checked and corrected the vertical misalignment of all flight lines and also the matching between data and ground truth. The relative accuracy was less than or equal to 6 cm RMSEz within individual swaths and less than or equal to 8 cm RMSEz or within swath overlap (between adjacent swaths). 5) The technicians ran a final vertical accuracy check of the boresighted flight lines against the surveyed check points after the z correction to ensure the requirement of NVA = 19.6 cm 95% Confidence Level (Required Accuracy) was met. Point classification was performed according to USGS Lidar Base Specification version 1.3. Bare earth DEMs were exported from the classified point cloud. dateTime: DateTime: 2024-04-01T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Data were processed to an initial LAS format using Teledyne CARIS software. CARIS was also utilized for GPS and inertial processing, and Terrasolid and LAStools were used for data visualization, 3D editing, and export to final LAS/LAZ. Data were processed using NAD83(2011) horizontal and vertical datums. The data are in UTM Zone 16 coordinates and NAVD88 elevations in meters. The data classifications are: unclassified (1); ground (2); noise (7); water surface (topographic sensor) (18); bathymetric bottom (40); water surface (41); derived water surface (42); submerged object, not otherwise specified (e.g., wreck, rock, submerged piling) (43); and no bottom found (bathymetric lidar point for which no detectable bottom return was received) (45). dateTime: DateTime: 2023-05-30T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Dewberry used algoritms in TerraScan to create the intial ground/submerged topography surface. Dewberry used rasterized aggregate extents of refracted points to create automated 2-D breaklines with LAStools and ArcGIS. Light travels at different speeds in air versus water and its speed and direction of travel change when it enters the water column. The refraction correction process accounts for this difference by adjusting the depth (distance traveled) and horizontal position (change of angle/direction) of the lidar points acquired within water. These breaklines delineate areas where the refraction correction was applied to the lidar data by Dewberry proprietary refraction correction tool. Dewberry used the 2-D refraction extents and additional bathy features to classify the bathymetric bottom and ground points properly in TerraScan. Geometrically unused points at the edges of flight lines were flagged using the withheld bit. This includes synthetically generated class 42 (synthetic water surface) points at the edges of flight lines. All class 42 points were flagged using the synthetic bit. The withheld bit was set on class 7 and class 18 in TerraScan after all classification was complete. All lidar data was peer-reviewed. Dewberry's QAQC also included creating void polygons for use during review. All necessary edits were applied to the dataset. LASTools software was used to update LAS header information, including all projection and coordinate reference system information. The final lidar data are in LAS format 1.4 and point data record format 6. All data was then verified by an Independent QC department within Dewberry. The independent QC was performed by separate analysts who did not perform manual classification or editing. The independent QC involved quantitative and qualitative reviews. dateTime: DateTime: 2024-05-31T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Data was tested at 0.18 meters nominal pulse spacing and 30.4 points per square meter (ppsm). The average density was tested on the LAS data using geometrically reliable (withheld and noise points excluded) first-return points. (A)NPD was tested using rasters which produce the average number of points within each cell. dateTime: DateTime: 2024-05-31T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received topobathy laz files from Dewberry for parts of the northern Lake Michigan and northern Lake Huron coastlines in Michigan. The lidar data had elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in UTM Zones 16N and 17N (NAD83 2011) coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid18) elevations in meters. The data were classified as: 1 - Unclassified, 2 - Ground, 7 - Low Noise, 18 - High Noise, 40 - Bathymetric Point, 41 - Water Surface, 42 - Derived Water Surface, 43 - Submerged Object, 45 - No Bottom Found. OCM processed the non-noise classifications of points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). Points classified as Noise (7, 18) were excluded in the processing and are not available in DAV. Classes available in the DAV are: 1, 2, 40, 41, 42, 43, 45. OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. An internal OCM script was run to check the number of points by classification and by flight ID and the gps and intensity ranges. 2. Internal OCM scripts were run on the laz files to: a. Convert from orthometric (NAVD88) elevations in meters to NAD83 (2011) ellipsoid elevations in meters using the Geoid18 model b. Convert the laz files from UTM Zones 16N and 17N, NAD83(2011), meters coordinates to geographic coordinates c. Assign the geokeys, sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and AWS S3 dateTime: DateTime: 2025-01-10T00:00:00 processor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Office for Coastal Management role: (CI_RoleCode) processor source: (LI_Source) sourceCitation: (CI_Citation) title: Classified Lidar Points date: (missing) citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Dewberry role: (CI_RoleCode) publisher processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The vertical values in this data set have been converted to reference North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) (GEOID18) meters, using the GEOID18 grids provided by the National Geodetic Survey.
