        abstract:  In February 2014, Quantum Spatial (QSI) was contracted by the Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium (PSLC) to collect Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the City of Redmond site in western Washington. Data were collected to aid PSLC in assessing the topographic and geophysical properties of the study area. The accompany report discusses the delivered LiDAR data and documents contract specifications, data acquisition procedures, processing methods, and analysis of the final dataset including LiDAR accuracy and density. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  This project covers the City of Redmond located in King County. The data was acquired in April 2014.
        credit:  Please credit the Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium (PSLC) for these data. The PSLC is supported by the Puget Sound Regional Council,the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous partners inlocal, state, and tribal government.

            nameOfMeasure:  Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  The accuracy of the LiDAR data collection can be described in terms of absolute accuracy (the consistency of the data with external data sources) and relative accuracy (the consistency of the dataset with itself). See Appendix A in the report for further information on sources of error and operational measures used to improve relative accuracy.
            result: (missing)
        report:  (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy)
            nameOfMeasure:  Horizontal Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  When collecting RTK and PPK data, the rover records data while stationary for five seconds, then calculates the pseudorange position using at least three one-second epochs. Relative errors for the position must be less than 1.5 cm horizontal and 2.0 cm vertical in order to be accepted.; Quantitative Value: 0.02 meters, Test that produced the value: Value reported as RMSE in meters, not tested
            result: (missing)
        report:  (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy)

            evaluationMethodDescription:  Lidar accuracies were tested for vertical accuracy. Watershed Sciences collected 222 ground control points for use in verifying the vertical accuracy of the classified LiDAR data in King County, surrounding Redmond.; Quantitative Value: 0.019 meters, Test that produced the value: Value reported as RMSE in meters. FVA (RMSE x 1.96) reported as 0.037 m in open terrain

            result: (missing)
        report:  (DQ_ConceptualConsistency)
            nameOfMeasure:  Conceptual Consistency
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Absolute accuracy was assessed using Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA) reporting designed to meet guidelines presented in the FGDC National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy. FVA compares known RTK and PPK ground control point data collected on open, bare earth surfaces with level slope (+/- 20 degrees) to the triangulated ground 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 percent confidence interval (1.96 x RMSE). The mean and standard deviation (sigma) of divergence of the ground surface model from ground survey 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 City of Redmond survey, 224 ground survey points were collected in total resulting in an average accuracy of 0.004 feet (0.001 meters) (Figure 7 in the lidar report).

                description:  1. 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. Software: IPAS TC v.3.1 , Waypoint Inertial Explorer v.8.5 2. 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 geoid03 correction. Software: ALS Post Processing Software v.2.75 3. Import raw laser points into manageable blocks (less than 500 MB) to perform manual relative accuracy calibration and filter erroneous points. Classify ground points for individual flight lines. Software: TerraScan v.14 4. 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. Software: TerraMatch v.14 5. Classify resulting data to ground and other client designated ASPRS classifications (Table 7). Assess statistical absolute accuracy via direct comparisons of ground classified points to ground control survey data. Software: TerraScan v.14, TerraModeler v.14 6. 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. Software: TerraScan v.14, TerraModeler v.14, ArcMap v. 10.1 7. Export intensity images as GeoTIFFs at a 1.5 foot pixel resolution. Software: TerraScan v.14, TerraModeler v.14, ArcMap v. 10.1

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received topographic file in LAZ format from the Puget Sound Lidar Consortium. The files contained lidar elevation measurements and other acquisition/post processing attributes. The data were received in Washington State Plane North Zone 4601, NAD83 coordinates and were vertically referenced to NAVD88 using the Geoid03 model, vertical units of the data were feet. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes: 1. The LAS files were converted from orthometric (NAVD88) heights to ellipsoidal heights using Geoid03. 2. The LAS files were converted from a Projected Coordinate System (WA SP North) to a Geographic Coordinate system (GCS). 3. The topographic las files' vertical units were converted from feet to meters. 4. The topographic las files' horizontal units were converted from feet to decimal degrees.

                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. 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) Processing notes:
