        abstract:  This metadata record describes the Classified Point Cloud (LAS) for the 2016 Connecticut LiDAR project covering approximately 5240 square miles in seven blocks. The Leica ALS-70-HP and Riegl LMS-Q680i systems were used to collect data for the survey campaign. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  To acquire detailed surface elevation data for use in conservation planning, design, research, floodplain mapping, dam safety assessments, and hydrologic modeling. LAS data products are suitable for 1 foot contour generation. USGS LiDAR Base Specification 1.2, QL2. 19.6 cm NVA.

        supplementalInformation:  Data were changed for ingest in the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer. Original Project Projection, Datums and Units: Projection - State Plane Connecticut; Horizontal datum - North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83 (2011)); Vertical datum - North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) using the latest geoid (Geoid12b) for converting ellipsoidal heights to orthometric heights; Units - US feet Data were changed to geographic coordinates (NAD83(2011)). The vertical datum was reverted to ellipsoid heights (using Geoid12b) in meters. Custom orders of this data may have changed these coordinate systems, which will be reflected in the spatial organization section.

            nameOfMeasure:  Horizontal Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Horizontal positional accuracy for the Connecticut LiDAR is dependent upon the quality of the GPS/INS solution, sensor calibration and ground conditions at the time of data capture. The data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 1.0 meter RMSEx/RMSEy.; Quantitative Value: 1.0 meters, Test that produced the value: For the Connecticut, this value is computed by comparing ground control to a DEM derived from the classified LiDAR data and represents the RMSE of residuals on controls within the project area.

            nameOfMeasure:  Vertical Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  For the DEM data derived from the classified point cloud, the NVA and VVA were computed. The vertical accuracy was tested with independent survey check points located in various terrain types within Connecticut. These check points were not used in the calibration or post processing of the lidar point cloud data. The survey check points were distributed throughout the block area. Specifications for this project require that the VVA be 19.6 cm or better @ 95 percent confidence level. The raw NVA was tested using 181 independent survey check points located in flat terrain types within the state of Connecticut. The survey checkpoints were distributed throughout the block area. The 181 independent check points were surveyed using static GPS base stations collecting point location for 20 minute intervals. Elevations were measured for the x,y,z location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the DEM surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. This data set was tested to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. Actual NVA accuracy was found to be RMSEz = 7cm, equating to +/- 13.8cm at 95% confidence level. The NVA was tested using 181 independent survey check points located in bare earth terrain types within the state of Connecticut. The 181 independent check points contained all NVA points and were surveyed using static GPS base stations collecting point location for 20 minute intervals. Elevations were measured for the x,y,z location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the DEM surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. This data set was tested to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. Actual NVA accuracy was found to be RMSEz = 6.3cm, equating to +/- 12.5cm at 95% confidence level. The VVA was tested using 95 independent survey check points located in various vegetation terrain types within the state of Connecticut. The 95 independent check points were surveyed using static GPS base stations collecting point location for 20 minute intervals. Elevations were measured for the x,y,z location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the DEM surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. This data set was tested to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. Actual NVA accuracy was found to be RMSEz = 6.3cm, equating to +/- 12.5cm at 95% confidence level. Actual VVA accuracy was found to be +/- 17cm at the 95th percentile.

        report:  (DQ_CompletenessCommission)
            nameOfMeasure:  Completeness Report
            evaluationMethodDescription:  LiDAR data is collected for the project area. Post processing of the simultaneously acquired GPS/INS is performed and applied to the laser returns to output a point cloud in the specified project coordinate system and datums. The point cloud data is then subjected to automated classification routines to assign all points in the point cloud to ground, water, overlap and unclassified point classes. Anomalous laser returns that occur infrequently are removed entirely from the data set. Once clean bare earth points are established, DEMs are created using bare earth points and hydro features. The DEM surface is then compared to the survey checkpoints. These accuracies must pass the NVA and VVA accuracy specifications.

                description:  The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in las 1.4 format. The files contained Lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in Connecticut State Plane (NAD83 2011 Epoch 2010.0; FIPS 0600), US Feet coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid12b) vertical feet. OCM performed the following processing to the data to make it available within the Digital Coast: 1. The data were converted from Connecticut State Plane coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The vertical units of the data were converted from feet to meters. 3. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights to NAD83(2011) ellipsoid heights using Geoid12b grids. 4. Data were compressed with laszip as native LAS 1.4.
