        abstract:  This data set is one component of a digital terrain model (DTM) for the SWFWMD Polk District. This record includes information about the LiDAR data for the following SWFWMD tracts: Hampton, Judy, Lake Wales, Peace River (North) and Polk Remainder. All of these tracts are located in Polk County. Please see the Bounding Coordinates for each tract for the location within Polk County. Information that is specific to each tract has been maintained. HAMPTON TRACT This data set is one component of a digital terrain model (DTM) for Hampton Tract, Polk County, Florida encompassing approximately 43 square miles. This dataset is comprised of 48 LiDAR files, based on the DISTRICT 5,000' by 5,000' sheet index system (17951-17958, 18114-18121, 18363-18370, 18526-18533, 18259-18266 and 18594-18601) in the LAS file format. The raw data was collected at an average ground sample distance of 1-meter. Other components of the DTM include: 3-D breaklines along hydrographic features in the Shape file format; lake/pond polygons (in 3D) in the shape file format; obscured area polygons (in 2D) in the Shape file format; and hard/soft breaklines (in 3D) in the Shape file format.

This dataset is comprised of 14 LiDAR files, based on the DISTRICT 5,000' by 5,000' sheet index system (17632-17636, 17795-17799, and 17959-17962) in the LAS file format. The raw data was collected at an average ground sample distance of 1-meter. Other components of the DTM include a personal geodatabase containing: obscured vegetation polygons; road overpass polygons; road breaklines; soft feature breaklines; water body polygons; coastal shorelines; 1-foot contours; hydrographic feature breaklines, and island polygons in accordance with the SWFWMD 2006 Topographic Database Design.

This area is not a tract, but an addition of areas to the Polk District data set. This data set consists of three areas within Polk County. The approximate bounding coordinates for each area are given below. Area 3 borders the east and north sides of the Peace River (North) and Judy Tract data sets. The bounding coordinates for Area 3 are generalized here, but it is actually a multi-sided polygon with many vertices.

                description:  HAMPTON TRACT, JUDY TRACT, LAKE WALES, PEACE RIVER (NORTH) The LiDAR data was acquired using a Leica ALS50 from an altitude of 1,000-meters above ground level to provide an average ground sample distance of 1-meter. The scanner field of view was 44-degrees, and the scan rate was 33-hertz. First and last return data was collected along with the signal return intensity. Two redundant airborne GPS bases stations were utilized during the data acquisition with maximum line-of-sight distance between the base station and aircraft of 20-km. The LiDAR data was reduced using Grafnav (Waypoint Consulting) for GPS post-processing, PosProc (Applanix Crop) for IMU processing, ALS50 Post Processor (LH Systems) to initial LiDAR processing, TerraScan (Terrasolid) for initial point classification, and proprietary Woolpert developed software for refining the point classification and QC. The LAS files contain 4 classifications: 1 = unclassified; 2 = ground; 9 = water; and 10 = photogrammetric mass points. The class 1 consists of all points not on the ground. Class 2 consists of bare earth points. Class 9 consists of points within water polygons such as swamps and/or wetlands. Class 10 consists of supplementary mass points that were photogrametrically compiled on points features such as as peaks or pits, and they were created to maintain the accuracy of the DTM.

                description:  POLK REMAINDER The LiDAR data was acquired using a Leica ALS50 from an average altitude of 3,000-feet above ground level to provide an average ground sample distance of 3.3-feet. The scanner field of view was 44-degrees, and the scan rate was 33-hertz. First and last return data collected along with the signal return intensity. Two redundant airborne GPS bases stations were utilized during the data acquisition with maximum line-of-sight distance between the base station and aircraft of 20-km. The LiDAR data was reduced using Grafnav (Waypoint Consulting) for GPS post-processing, PosProc (Applanix Crop) for IMU processing, ALS50 Post Processor (LH Systems) to initial LiDAR processing, TerraScan (Terrasolid) for initial point classification, and proprietary Woolpert developed software for refining the point classification and QC. The LiDAR data was reviewed in 3D using a digital photogrammetric work station using ADS40 digital stereo imagery. The LiDAR ground points are adjusted, if needed, to fit the ground. Breaklines were added to hydrologically enforce the DTM. The edited LiDAR data and the photogrammetrically compiled breaklines are merged and processed to create the final DTM files. During the production process, LiDAR data gaps between the flight lines were observed. These gaps between flight lines were corrected by adding photogrammetrically compiled mass points. These points are classified as class 10, in the LAS file. In the areas with the compiled masspoints, it may be noted that the masspoints are not as dense the areas with complete LiDAR coverage. The masspoints were compiled at a sufficient density to define the surface to contract specifications. Anomalies were noted in the 2005 Peace River North and Hampton Tract LiDAR data, during the LiDAR QA/QC process for the 2007 Remainder Polk County Project. The 2005 LiDAR datasets for Peace River North (P692) and Hampton Tract (DO19) required additional processing to ensure correct ground points classification. In areas with gaps in the LiDAR coverage, photogrammetrically compiled masspoints were added to the surface data. The LAS files contain 5 classifications: 1 = unclassified; 2 = ground; 9 = water; 10 = photogrammetric masspoints; and 11 = swamp and/or wetlands. The class 1 consists of all points not considered to be ground. Class 2 consists of bare earth (ground) points. Class 9 consists of points within water polygons. Class 11 consists of point within swamps and/or wetlands. Class 10 consists of supplementary mass points that were photogrametrically compiled on points features such as peaks or pits, and LiDAR data gaps. These points were created to maintain the accuracy of the DTM. 3D breaklines were collected at the digital photogrammetric workstation during the LiDAR data review. These breaklines were delineated to insure the DTM is hydrologically correct. Hydrologically Enforced Elevation Data is defined as "Hydro enforced TINS, DEMS, or contours ensure that top surfaces of bridges and culverts are cut by stream breaklines so that computer models will accurately represent drainage flow" per FEMA's Appendix A A.4.10. The breaklines were collected for hydrologically significant features as appropriate to support the development of the generation of 2-foot contours meeting National Map Accuracy Standards. The following breakline features were classified and separated: Closed Water Body Features, Linear Hydrographic Features, Coastal Shorelines, Road Features, Soft Features, Obscured Vegetated Areas, Island Features, Overpasses, and Bridges. Per contract specifications, culverts were not collected as part of this project. Therefore continuity of hydrographic features may not be consistent.

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in LAS format. The files contained Lidar elevation measurements. The data was in Florida State Plane Projection and NAVD88 vertical datum. OCM performed the following processing to the data to make it available within the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV): 1. The data were converted from Florida State Plane West coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights using Geoid 03. 3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated.

                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:
