Data are classified as 1 (valid non-ground topographic data), 2 (valid ground topographic data), and 29 (valid bathymetric data). Classes 1 and 2 are defined in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards. These data were collected by the Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar (CZMIL) system. CZMIL integrates a lidar sensor with simultaneous topographic and bathymetric capabilities, a digital camera and a hyperspectral imager on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities. Native lidar data is not generally in a format accessible to most Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Specialized in-house and commercial software packages are used to process the native lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis. The 3-D position data are sub-divided into 1-km by 1-km tiles, which are based on the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). In addition to the lidar point data, topobathy bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), at a 1 meter grid spacing, created from the lidar point data are also available from the NOAA Digital Coast. A link to this data is provided in the URL section of this metadata record. DEMs that were created from all classes of points (1, 2, 29) at a 1 meter grid size are available by request via email at: coastal.info@noaa.gov. These products have not been reviewed by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) and any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA or OCM.

The final lidar point cloud is gridded according to proceedures defined in the JALBTCX Standard Operating Guide and Appendices (SOGA). The grid products are then visually compared to basemap imagery products to verify the horizontal positions of large buildings and other urban features with the data coverage. JALBTCX evaluates the vertical accuracy of the final data coverage against traditional ground-truth data. Ground-truth data is acquired and utilized according to specifications outlined in the JALBTCX Standard Operating Guide and Appendices (SOGA) as well as the USGS Lidar BaseSpecification. The final lidar point cloud at every project ground-truth location is compared against ground-truth points in the 'bare_ground' class. Comparisons are performed in the QCoherent LP360 software package, and the final results are output to JALBTCX's Ground Truth Comparison Report. result: (missing) report: (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy) nameOfMeasure: Horizontal Positional Accuracy evaluationMethodDescription: CZMIL topographic data - Compiled to meet 1 m horizontal accuracy at 95% confidence level.

Topographic lidar coverage was obtained from the shoreline onshore 500 meters. Bathymetric lidar coverage extends from the shoreline offshore 250 meters or to laser exinction, whichever occurs first. The planned data density is 70 centimeters on land and in shallow water. In deeper water the planned data density decreases to 2 meters. Gaps or data holidays may exist in the data coverage. They arise due to a number of operational and environmental conditions, including but not limited to, airspace restrictions, high terrain, active surf, low-reflectivity bottom substrate materials and turbidity in the water column. Please see the Report of Survey for additional details. result: (missing) report: (DQ_ConceptualConsistency) nameOfMeasure: Conceptual Consistency evaluationMethodDescription: Every effort within operational constraints was made to acquire data that meets specifications as outlined in this project's Statement of Work. Per flight block, elevations in areas of swath overlap are internally consistent and meet CZMIL specifications. Annomalous high and/or low elevation values have been removed, and point cloud classificaiton algorithms have been validated via manual review and QC. Temporal differences in elevation exist in areas of active nearshore processes from the dune to the depth of closure. JALBTCX conducts operations in a manner to ameliorate temporal differences, to include the collection of entire flight blocks within single missions. For a given flight block, it's adjacent flight blocks are captured within 3 days as weather and airspace permit. result: (missing) lineage: (LI_Lineage) statement: (missing) processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: These data were collected using the CZMIL system. It is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The system collects topobathy lidar data at 10 kHz and RGB imagery at 2 Hz. A CASI-1500 hyperspectral line scanner is integrated with the system as well. Aircraft position, velocity and acceleration information are collected through a combination of Novatel and POS A/V 510 equipment. All raw data streams are transferred to the office for downloading and processing in CZMIL’s Hydro Fusion software. Aircraft position data are processed using POSPac software and the results are combined with the lidar data to produce 3-D positions for each lidar shot. Upon inspection and QA/QC in the software packages Fledermaus and PFM_ABE, anomalous data are flagged as invalid and have the withheld bit set. PFM_ABE software then exports valid lidar data as a series of unclassified LAS files. dateTime: DateTime: 2018-07-03T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: LAS files are imported into TerraScan V13 module within Microstation V8i, classifies valid topobathy data as ground points (2) and unclassified points (1), and valid bathymetric points (29). Upon completion the macro, the classification results undergo quality control and any misclassified points are manually edited. In areas of dense vegetation the bare earth ground points might be incorrectly classified due to the inability of the laser to penetrate the canopy and reach the bare ground. In these areas, JALBTCX defaults to the algorithm’s “ground” surface instead of manually reclassifying those points. They are partitioned into a series of 1-km delivery boxes, one Classified LAS file per box. The format of the file is LAS version 1.2. Data are classified as 1 (valid non-ground topographic data), 2 (valid ground topographic data), and 29 (valid bathymetric data). dateTime: DateTime: 2018-07-05T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in las 1.2 format in several shipments. The files contained lidar intensity and elevation measurements for the project area. Horizontal positions were provided in geographic coordinates, referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 National Adjustment of 2011 (NAD83 NA11). Vertical positions were provided in ellipsoid elevations and in meters. OCM performed the following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes: 1. Converted the files from las to laz format using laszip 2. Set the global encoding bit to 1 using lasinfo 3. Assigned the geokeys, sorted the data by gps time and zipped the data to database and to http. dateTime: DateTime: 2018-07-17T00:00:00 processor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Office for Coastal Management role: (CI_RoleCode) processor processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The vertical values in this data set have been converted to reference Puerto Rico Vertical Datum of 2002 (PRVD02) (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: dateTime: DateTime: 2024-07-22T08:45:25 processor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: NOAA Office for Coastal Management contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) electronicMailAddress: coastal.info@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) processor | |
