Dataset Description: San Diego, California 2014 LiDAR project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of LIDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meter. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base LIDAR Specification, Version 1. LiDAR data was delivered in RAW flight line swath format, processed to create Classified LAS 1.2 Files formatted to 1564 individual 5000 ft x 5000 ft tiles, and corresponding Intensity Images and Bare Earth DEMs tiled to the same 5000 ft x 5000 ft schema, and Breaklines in Esri geodatabase format. Ground Conditions: LiDAR was collected in late 2014 and early 2015, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications, Photo Science established a total of 88 QA calibration control points and 80 Land Cover control points that were used to calibrate the LIDAR to known ground locations established throughout the San Diego, California project area. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data. purpose: Classified LAS files are used to show the manually reviewed bare earth surface. This allows the user to create Intensity Images, Breaklines and Raster DEM. The purpose of these lidar data was to produce high accuracy 3D hydro-flattened Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a 2.5 foot cell size. These raw lidar point cloud data were used to create classified lidar LAS files, intensity images, 3D breaklines, hydro-flattened DEMs as necessary. credit: Photo Science, A Quantum Spatial Company flew the LiDAR and processed the data., Photo Science, a Quantum Spatial Company.

The vertical accuracy value is the AccuracyZ at 95 percent Confidence Interval in feet. The FVA was tested using 19 independent survey check points located in open terrain. The survey checkpoints were distributed throughout the project area. The 19 independent check points were surveyed using GPS techniques. See survey report for additional survey methodologies. Elevations from the unclassified lidar surface were measured for the x,y location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the lidar surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. AccuracyZ has been tested to meet 18.13 cm Fundamental Vertical Accuracy at 95 Percent confidence level using RMSE(z) x 1.9600 as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASRPS Guidelines. Qualitative value:0.116, Test that produced the value: The FVA was tested using 19 independent survey check points located in open terrain. The survey checkpoints were distributed throughout the project area. The 19 independent check points were surveyed using GPS techniques. See survey report for additional survey methodologies. Elevations from the unclassified lidar surface were measured for the x,y location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the lidar surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. The RMSE was computed to be 0.382 feet. AccuracyZ has been tested to meet 18.13 cm Fundamental Vertical Accuracy at 95 Percent confidence level using RMSE(z) x 1.9600 as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASRPS Guidelines. result: (missing) report: (DQ_CompletenessCommission) nameOfMeasure: Completeness Report evaluationMethodDescription: Datasets contain complete coverage of tiles.

All data is seamless from one tile to the next, no gaps or no data areas. result: (missing) lineage: (LI_Lineage) statement: (missing) processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Lidar Pre-Processing: Airborne GPS and IMU data were merged to develop a Single Best Estimate (SBET) of the lidar system trajectory for each lift. Lidar ranging data were initially calibrated using previous best parameters for this instrument and aircraft. Relative calibration was evaluated using advanced plane-matching analysis and parameter corrections derived. This was repeated iteratively until residual errors between overlapping swaths, across all project lifts, was reduced to acceptable levels. Data were then block adjusted to match surveyed calibration control. Raw data FVA were checked using independently surveyed checkpoints. Swath overage points were identified and tagged within each swath file. The results of the final calibration, FVA and horizontal accuracy assessments, and the "raw" swaths were forwarded to the client to obtain a Notice To Proceed on classification and derivative product generation. dateTime: DateTime: 2015-01-01T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Lidar Post-Processing: The calibrated and controlled lidar swaths were processed using automatic point classification routines in proprietary software. These routines operate against the entire collection (all swaths, all lifts), eliminating character differences between files. Data were then distributed as virtual tiles to experienced lidar analysts for localized automatic classification, manual editing, and peer-based QC checks. Supervisory QC monitoring of work in progress and completed editing ensured consistency of classification character and adherence to project requirements across the entire project area. All classification tags are stored in the original swath files. After completion of classification and final QC approval, the FVA, SVAs, and CVA for the project are calculated. Sample areas for each land cover type present in the project area were extracted and forwarded to the client, along with the results of the accuracy tests. Upon acceptance, the complete classified lidar swath files were delivered to the client. dateTime: DateTime: 2015-01-01T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Classified LAS Processing: The bare earth surface is then manually reviewed to ensure correct classification on the Class 2 (Ground) points. After the bare-earth surface is finalized, it is then used to generate all hydro-breaklines through heads-up digitization. All ground (ASPRS Class 2) LiDAR data inside of the Lake Pond and Double Line Drain hydro flattening breaklines were then classified to water (ASPRS Class 9) using TerraScan macro functionality. A buffer of 3 feet was also used around each hydro-flattened feature to classify these ground (ASPRS Class 2) points to Ignored ground (ASPRS Class 10). All Lake Pond Island and Double Line Drain Island features were checked to ensure that the ground (ASPRS Class 2) points were reclassified to the correct classification after the automated classification was completed. All overlap data was processed through automated functionality provided by TerraScan to classify the overlapping flight line data to approved classes by USGS. The overlap data was classified to Class 21 (Overlap Default), Class 22 (Overlap Ground), and Class 25 (Overlap Water). These classes were created through automated processes only and were not verified for classification accuracy. Due to software limitations within TerraScan, these classes were used to trip the withheld bit within various software packages. These processes were reviewed and accepted by USGS through numerous conference calls and pilot study areas. All data was manually reviewed and any remaining artifacts removed using functionality provided by TerraScan and TerraModeler. Global Mapper us used as a final check of the bare earth dataset. GeoCue was then used to create the deliverable industry-standard LAS files for both the All Point Cloud Data and the Bare Earth. Photo Science proprietary software was used to perform final statistical analysis of the classes in the LAS files, on a per tile level to verify final classification metrics and full LAS header information. dateTime: DateTime: 2015-01-01T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Hydro Flattening Breakline Processing: Class 2 LiDAR was used to create a bare earth surface model. The surface model was then used to heads-up digitize 2D breaklines of inland streams and rivers with a 100 foot nominal width and Inland Ponds and Lakes of 2 acres or greater surface area. Elevation values were assigned to all Inland Ponds and Lakes, Inland Pond and Lake Islands, Inland Stream and River Islands, using TerraModeler functionality. Elevation values were assigned to all Inland streams and rivers using Photo Science proprietary software. All ground (ASPRS Class 2) LiDAR data inside of the collected inland breaklines were then classified to water (ASPRS Class 9) using TerraScan macro functionality. A buffer of 3 feet was also used around each hydro-flattened feature. These points were moved from ground (ASPRS Class 2) to Ignored Ground (ASPRS Class 10). The breakline files were then translated to ESRI File-Geodatabase format using ESRI conversion tools. dateTime: DateTime: 2015-01-01T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: NOAA OCM downloaded the data from USGS via ftp in LAZ format with state plane projection (FIPS 0406, NAD83(2011)) and vertical feet NAVD88. For ingestion into the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer, the data were reprojected to geographic coordinates. The vertical data were converted to meters and reduced to ellipsoid heights by removing the geoid12a model. dateTime: DateTime: 2018-09-20T00:00:00 processor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Office for Coastal Management role: (CI_RoleCode) processor source: (LI_Source) description: Source Contribution: This data source was used (along with the airborne GPS/IMU Data) to aid in the georeferencing of the lidar point cloud data. sourceCitation: (CI_Citation) title: Control Survey Report: San Diego, CA.
