        abstract:  EarthData International collected ADS-50 derived LiDAR over a portion of Hillsborough and Manatee Counties with a one meter post spacing. The period of collection was between 12 January and 20 January 2007. The collection was performed by EarthData Aviation, using a Leica ALS-50 LiDAR system, including an inertial measuring unit (IMU) and a dual frequency GPS receiver. This project required eleven lifts of flight lines be collected. The product generated consisted of LiDAR bare earth elevation models in LAS format. This data set is one component of a digital terrain model (DTM) for the Southwest Florida Water Management District's FY 2007 Hillsborough County - Watershed Management Plan Topographic Information Mapping (L762) and FY 2007 Little Manatee River Watershed Management Plan (L604), encompassing approximately 453 square miles in Hillsborough County and 82 square miles in Manatee County. The 2007 LiDAR data set is comprised of 3-D mass points delivered in the LAS file format based upon the District's 5,000' x 5,000' grid with 505 cells in the Hillsborough area with an additional 91 cells in the Little Manatee area. An additional 12 cells were added to the Hillsborough area. The other DTM component is 2-D and 3-D breakline features in the ESRI ArcGIS Personal Geodatabase format. The breaklines were collected using Aerial photography captured for the Southwest Florida Water Management District FY 2007 Digital Orthophoto (B089) Central District One-foot Orthophoto project. The stream breaklines were the corrected to the hillshade LiDAR data. Contours (2-foot) were generated from the DTM that meet the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) for 2-foot contours (FEMA specifications). Bare earth LiDAR mass point data display a vertical accuracy of at least 0.3-feet root mean square (RMSE) in open and unobscured areas with standard reflective quality. Original contact information: Contact Name: Mapping and GIS section Contact Org: Southwest Florida Water Management District Phone: 352.796.7211 This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  This project was designed to provide topographic information to the Southwest Florida Water Management District to support regulatory, land management and acquisition, planning, engineering and habitat restoration projects.

            processStep:  (LI_ProcessStep)
                description:  EarthData has developed a unique method for processing LiDAR data to identify and remove elevation points falling on vegetation, buildings, and other aboveground structures. The algorithms for filtering data were utilized within EarthData's proprietary software and commercial software written by TerraSolid. This software suite of tools provides efficient processing for small to large-scale, projects and has been incorporated into ISO 9001 compliant production work flows. The following is a step-by-step breakdown of the process. Lidar editing workflow process for 2007 SWFWMD 1.Initial Lidar classification - initial classification is performed by separating the last return points and other return points into different files. Only last return points will be used in Bare Earth editing. This step is accomplished during pre-processing phase. The First of Many and intermediate returns will be merged back with last returns after Bare Earth Editing and QC is completed for point cloud deliverables. 2. Lidar editing - the Lidar Last Return is edited to bare earth using a combination of automated and manual filtering techniques. Existing orthophotography over the project area will be used as a reference to ensure that the editor is correctly classifying points in areas that are either heavily vegetated or ambiguous in nature. Each tile will be individually edited to make sure noise and vegetation points have been reclassified properly. 3. QC of Lidar classification - immediately following Lidar Editing, QC is performed to verify that points are correctly classified. Each tile will be individually viewed and will be checked for consistent point density for each classification and land cover type. For example, consistent density in marsh areas and open fields will be verified. Each tile will be checked to make sure noise and vegetation points have been removed. Areas of heavy vegetation will be reviewed in profile to ensure redundant check. An overall QC of the entire project area will be done in blocks of tiles to ensure consistency between tiles. 4. Breaklines - photogrametrically-collected breaklines will be compiled to delineate specified features in accordance with the project scope. This is an interactive process using photogrametrically-derived stereo pairs in a 3D environment. Features typically collected would define tops and bottoms of slopes, roads, ditches, ponds, rivers and lakes. Breaklines in wetland areas will be collected with sufficient detail to ensure that hydrographic features are correctly represented to support generation of 1' contours to the 2' vertical accuracy requirement. The wetland breaklines will be collected as closed polygons and will be used in Step 8 for reclassifying wetland points.

                  DateTime:  2007-05-14T00:00:00
            processStep:  (LI_ProcessStep)
                description:  5. QC of breaklines - breaklines will be verified in a stereo environment by senior technicians who were not involved in the compilation. Wetland boundaries will be verified using existing orthophotography and lidar hill shades color-coded by elevation. This process will be used to ensure that water conditions at time of lidar acquisition were consistent with the imagery used to compile breaklines. If there are any significant discrepancies, breaklines will be modified as necessary. 6. Streams are verified against Lidar hill shades to more accurately locate and define the path. 7. Breakline draping - following this QC step, breaklines will be draped to the lidar ground points. This will include roads but will exclude ditches. All vector data is reviewed after this process to assure that vectors have been properly assigned elevations in comparison to the lidar surface. 8. Reclassification - lidar points in wetlands and along ditches will be reclassified to Class 10. Islands in water Class 10 is a new classification not defined in the SWFWMD scope of work. 9. Final lidar QC - a TIN surface will be generated from lidar ground points and breaklines for a final QC. This step will ensure that the terrain is consistent and there are no anomalies present. 10. Formatting - the final lidar tiles will be formatted for delivery. The edited Lidar Last return points and the First of Many and Intermediate return points are merged together to complete the Point Cloud deliverable. This step will also include the restoration of header information that is removed during processing using Terrascan software. In order to restore this data and provide SWFWMD-required information, EarthData has written a program to ensure the proper data is added to the file header. 11. Deliverables - Breakline Geodatabase deliverable files are created. Contours are generated, a visual QC of contours is performed, and the geodatabase deliverable is created.

                description:  Contour Creation after the Lidar is refined to the Bare Earth surface this surface was combined with 2D photogrametrically collected and draped to the Lidar surface to establish an elevation on the breakline. The breakline location was also observed in relation to where the lidar indicated terrain breaks. In areas that were obscured, such as dense vegetation, the lidar data took precedence. As a general rule the lidar data took precedence. After the breaklines and lidar data were reconciled to each other the data was hydrologically enforced to make sure that the flow on the streams was down hill. MicroStation is then used to generate the contours. The contours are created at 1 foot with a 2 foot specification. After the contours are created they are then reviewed for accuracy and consistency. After the review is completed the contours are translated into an ESRI geodatabase for delivery.

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in LAS format. The files contained Lidar intensity and 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 Zone 0902 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. 4. Vertical unit of measure converted from feet to meters.

                description:  Source Contribution: EarthData International collected ALS-50-derived LiDAR over Upper Myakka Florida with a one-meter post spacing using aircraft number N2636P. The period of collection was between 12 January and 2o January 2007. The collection was performed by EarthData Aviation, using a Leica ALS-50 LiDAR system, serial number ALS036, including an inertial measuring unit (IMU) and a dual frequency GPS receiver. This project required eleven lifts of flight lines to be collected. The lines were flown at an average of 3400 feet above mean terrain using a pulse rate of 75,000 pulses per second. | Source Geospatial Form: Remote-sensing image | Type of Source Media: External hard drive

                description:  Source Contribution: For a previous SWFWMD project (Upper Myakka) EarthData subcontracted the ground survey tasks to Kevin J. Chappell, Florida PSM License No. LS5818. Points that fell within the Hillsborough Little Manatee project area were incorporated as ground control points along with newly acquired points. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to establish the control network. There were a total of 41 stations occupied for this project. There were 19 new photo control stations, 11 new LIDAR control stations, 4 temporary GPS base stations, 5 existing NSRS control stations, 1 CORS station, and 1 airborne GPS base station used by the flight crew. The final network was adjusted using least squares. A free adjustment and constrained adjustment were performed. The results of the free adjustment indicate an external network accuracy of better than 3 cm in relation to NAD 1983 1999 and NAVD 1988. The results of the constrained adjustment indicate an internal network accuracy of better than 3 cm in relation to NAD 1983 1999 and NAVD 1988. Additionally, there were a total of 17 stations occupied for this project. There were 9 new LIDAR control stations for Little Manatee and 32 points for Hillsborough, and 1 CORS station, and 1 airborne GPS base station used by the flight crew. The final network was adjusted using least squares. A free adjustment and constrained adjustment were performed. The results of the free adjustment indicate an external network accuracy of better than 3 cm in relation to NAD 1983 1999 and NAVD 1988. The results of the constrained adjustment indicate an internal network accuracy of better than 3 cm in relation to NAD 1983 1999 and NAVD 1988. Eighty LiDAR QC points, broken down into four sets of urban, bare und, brush and forest were collected. A full survey control report has been provided to SWFWMD. | Source Geospatial Form: Diagram | Type of Source Media: Paper

                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:
