        abstract:  LiDAR data collection was performed utilizing a Leica ALS-50 sensor, collecting multiple return x, y, and z data as well as intensity data. LiDAR data was processed to achieve a bare ground surface, and was delivered in LAS format. Classified LAS data was also used as a base for collection of hydro features, delivered in MicroStation v8 format. The dates of collection are: 1. JASPER COUNTY (full county): 20061227 to 20070216 2. COLLETON COUNTY (full county: 20070216 to 20070323 3. CHARLESTON COUNTY (Partial County): 20070222 to 20070223 Original contact information: Contact Org: NOAA Office for Coastal Management Phone: 843-740-1202 Email: coastal.info@noaa.gov This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  Lidar data was acquired for Charleston (Partial County), Jasper (full county) and Colleton (full county) Counties, SC as part of a collaborative effort by state agencies, FEMA and the NOAA Office for Coastal Management to provide high-resolution topographic data for floodplain mapping and other uses.

                description:  Raw LiDAR data (collected as Process Step 1) was processed to create a bare ground surface. Process included calibration of LiDAR data to remove systematic errors (utilizing Leica's ALS Processor software), adjustment of elevation data to control positions (utilizing TerraScan software for control comparisons and adjustments), and both automatic and manual editing to correctly classify ground and non-ground data (utilizing TerraScan and TerraModeler software). In addition, QC steps were performed before and after processing. QC steps included line-to-line vertical comparisons and coverage checks, and were performed with TerraScan and GeoCue software.

                description:  Following bare ground surface creation (Process Step 2),Photo Science utilized the resulting dataset as a source for collection of hydrographic features, including double-line drains, single-line drains, and bodies of water. Hydro features were collected from bare ground surface models in MicroStation v8 software. After collection was complete, Photo Science adjusted elevation of all hydro features to ensure proper monotonicity using FME and proprietary software.
