Horizontal Positional Accuracy
There is not a systematic method of testing when testing horizontal accuracy in LiDAR. However this is tested during calibration of the sensor and is rechecked during the comparing of parallel and perpendicular flight lines. Additionally the horizontal accuracy is checked by collecting building corners during the survey. Lines are then digitized representing the building outline and the differences are measure from each individual survey point to the corner of the building outline. Stats are calculated to ensure horizontal tolerances are met. These measurements resulted in an RMSEr
of .21 meters and equals a RMSE accuracy of .36 meter horizontal accuracy at the 95 % confidence level. Accuracy defined by NSSDA at the 95 % confidence level would be multiplier by 1.7308 times the RMSE.
Quantitative Value: 0.36 meters, Test that produced the value: Value represent horizontal accuracy assessment at the 95% confidence interval. Units in meters.
Vertical Positional Accuracy
The accuracy assessment was performed using the NSSDA standard method to compute the root mean square error (RMSE) based on a comparison of ground
control points (GCP) and DEM derived from the LiDAR dataset. Testing was performed prior to gridding of the filtered LiDAR data points and
construction of the 32-bit ESRI float grid format bare earth tiles. The RMSEz figure was used to compute the vertical National Standard for Spatial
Data Accuracy (NSSDA). A spatial proximity analysis was used to select edited LiDAR data points contiguous to the relevant GCPs. A search radius
decision rule is applied with consideration of terrain complexity, cumulative error and adequate sample size. Cumulative error results from the
errors inherent in the various sources of horizontal measurement. These sources include the airborne GPS, GCPs and the uncertainty of the accuracy
of the LiDAR data points. This accuracy is achieved prior to the subsampling that occurs through integration with the inertial measurement unit (IMU)
positions that are recorded. It is unclear at this time whether the initial accuracy is maintained. The horizontal accuracy of the GCPs is estimated
to be in the range of approximately .03 to .04 meters. Finally, sample size was considered. The specification for the National Standard for Spatial
Data Accuracy is a minimum of 20 points to conduct a statistically significant accuracy evaluation which provides a reasonable approximation of a
normal distribution. The intent of the NSSDA is to reflect the geographic area of interest and the distribution of error in the data set (Federal
Geographic Data Committee, 1998, Geospatial National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy, Federal Geographic Data Committee Secretariat, Reston,
Virginia, p.3-4). Additional steps were taken to ensure the vertical accuracy of the LiDAR data including: Step 1: Precision Bore sighting (Check
Edge-matching) Step 2: Compare the LiDAR data to the Field Survey (The vertical accuracy requirements meet or exceed the required RMSEz of 12.5cm
and the vertical accuracy of 24.5cm at the 95% confidence level). Data collected under this task order exceeds the required National Standards for
Spatial Database Accuracy (NSSDA) accuracy standards. SVA accuracies at the 95th Percentile collected and tested, as target accuracies results as
follows: Tall Weeds Crops =0.22 meters, Fully Forested = 0.40 meters. Consolidated Vertical Accuracies (CVA) at the 95th Percentile =0.25 meters.
Final accuracy statement for this task order is as follows; FVA Tested 0.15 meters vertical accuracy at the 95% confidence level.
; Quantitative Value: 0.15 meters, Test that produced the value:
Value represents the Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA) assessment at the 95% confidence interval. This represents the FVA checkpoints compared
against the derived DEM at the 95% confidence interval. Units in meters.
Completeness Report
Ground Truth data was collected of the three major land cover classes representing 10% of the predominate vegetation dispersed within the area of
interest. 30 points were collected in each of the three predominate vegetation classes bare earth, tall weeds crops, and fully forested, points
collected in the trees vegetation class were collected with a Total Station. Pair of points was surveyed using the local NGS CORS network once completed
the total station is used to collect the forested vegetation class. A total station was used to collect all the shots collected in the forested vegetation
class, due to the limited GPS signal when working in and around tree canopy.
Conceptual Consistency
The GPS survey was tied into the local NYSNet Realtime Network located in NEW York, and Vermont, and the KEYNet Realtime Network located in the
Northeast covering Massachusetts. These networks are networks of continuously operating GPS reference stations that allows for Realtime Kinematic
(RTK) capabilities within a realtime network (RTN). This allows for corrections to be applied to the points as they are being collected, eliminating
the need for an adjustment. As a quality control measure several check-in points consisting of NSRS published horizontal and vertical control points
were used as checks within the real-time networks used. The survey crew checked into these published points daily to validate the consistency of the
network. The NSRS published points also confirm that the project will meet the 5cm local network accuracy at the 95% confidence level. Data analysis
was accomplished by comparing ground truth checkpoints with LiDAR points from the derived DEM and reported three ways 1. FVA 2. SVA 3. CVA. Additionally
the FVA points were assessed against the TIN derived from the LAS LiDAR point cloud controlled and calibrated swath data to ensure they met the
required accuracy of 12.5cm RMSEz and 24.5cm at the 95% confidence interval.
The ABGPS, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and raw scans are collected during the LiDAR aerial survey. The ABGPS monitors the xyz position of the sensor and the IMU monitors the orientation. During the aerial survey, laser pulses reflected from features on the ground surface are detected by the receiver optics and collected by the data logger. GPS locations are based on data collected by receivers on the aircraft and base stations on the ground. The ground base stations are placed no more than 40 km radius from the flight survey area.

The ABGPS, IMU, and raw scans are integrated using proprietary software developed by Optech and delivered with the Optech System. The resultant file is in a LAS binary file format. The LAS version 1.2 file format can be easily transferred from one file format to another. It is a binary file format that maintains information specific to the LiDAR data (return number, intensity value, xyz, etc.). The resultant points are produced in the NAD83/2007 UTM 18 North Coordinate System, with units in Meters and referenced to the NAVD88 datum. The LiDAR mass points were processed in American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing LAS 1.2 format. The header file for each dataset is complete as defined by the LAS 1.2 specification. The datasets were divided into a 1500 meter by 1500 meter tiling scheme. The tiles are contiguous, do not overlap, and are suitable for seamless topographic data mosaics that include no "no data" areas. The names of the tiles include numeric column and row designations and all files utilize the LAS file extension.

The unedited data are classified to facilitate the application of the appropriate feature extraction filters. A combination of proprietary filters are applied as appropriate for the production of bare earth digital elevation models (DEMs). Interactive editing methods are applied to those areas where it is inappropriate or impossible to use the feature extraction filters, based upon the design criteria and/or limitations of the relevant filters. These same feature extraction filters are used to produce elevation height surfaces.

Filtered and edited data are subjected to rigorous QA/QC, according to the Northrop Grumman, Advanced GEOINT Solutions Operating Unit Quality Control Plan and Procedures. A series of quantitative and visual procedures are employed to validate the accuracy and consistency of the filtered and edited data. Ground control is established by Northrop Grumman, Advanced GEOINT Solutions Operating Unit and GPS-derived ground control points (GCPs) in various areas of dominant and prescribed land cover. These points are coded according to land cover, surface material, and ground control suitability. A suitable number of points are selected for calculation of a statistically significant accuracy assessment, as per the requirements of the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy. A spatial proximity analysis is used to select edited LiDAR data points within a specified distance of the relevant GCPs. A search radius decision rule is applied with consideration of terrain complexity, cumulative error, and adequate sample size. Accuracy validation and evaluation is accomplished using proprietary software to apply relevant statistical routines for calculation of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA), according to Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) specifications.

The Bare Earth DEM was extracted from the raw LIDAR products and attributed with the bare earth elevation for each cell of the DEM. Bare Earth DEMs do not include buildings, vegetation, bridges or overpass structures in the bare earth model. Where abutments were clearly delineated, this transition occurred at the junction of the bridge and abutment. Where this junction was not clear, the extractor used their best estimate to delineate the separation of ground from elevated bridge surface. In the case of bridges over water bodies, if the abutment was not visible, the junction was biased to the prevailing stream bank so as not to impede the flow of water in a hydrographic model. Bare earth surface includes the top of water bodies not underwater terrain, if visible.

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received topographic files in .LAS V1.2 format. The files contained lidar elevation measurements, intensity values, scan angle values, return information, and GPS week time. The data were received in UTM Zone 18N, NAD83 coordinates and were vertically referenced to NAVD88 using the Geoid09 model. The vertical units of the data were meters. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:
1. The topographic las files were converted from orthometric (NAVD88) heights to ellipsoidal heights using Geoid09.
2. The topographic las files were converted from a Projected Coordinate System (UTM Zone 18N) to a Geographic Coordinate System (NAD83).
3. The topographic las files' horizontal units were converted from meters to decimal degrees.
2013-10-01T00:00:00
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.
Any datum and projection transformations were then done with the Office for Coastal Management 'datum_shift' program. Compression to an LAZ file was done with the LAStools 'laszip' program and can be unzipped with the same free program (laszip.org)
