These files contain classified topo/bathy lidar data. 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, and the RGB imagery are also available from the NOAA Digital Coast. Links to these data are provided in the URL section of this metadata record.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
This data was collected by USACE on behalf of the USACE NCMP to assess elevations above and below water along the southeast US coast after Hurricane Florence.

Accuracy
Every effort within operational constraints was made to acquire data that meets specifications as outline 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.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy
CZMIL topographic data - Compiled to meet 1 m horizontal accuracy at 95% confidence level. CZMIL bathymetric data - Compiled to meet 3.5 + 0.05d m horizontal accuracy at 95% confidence level, d is depth.
JALBTCX evaluates the horizontal accuracy of the final data coverage against available basemap imagery products. The final lidar point cloud is gridded according to procedures 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.
Vertical Positional Accuracy
CZMIL topographic data - Compiled to meet 19.6 cm vertical accuracy at 95% confidence level. CZMIL bathymetric shallow FOV data - Compiled to meet SQRT((0.20^2) +((0.0075d)^2)) m vertical accuracy at 95% confidence level, d is depth. CZMIL bathymetric deep FOV data - Compiled to meet SQRT((0.30^2) +((0.013d)^2)) m vertical accuracy at 95% confidence level, d is depth.
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.
Completeness Measure
Planned data coverage for this dataset included a 750-meter swath of the North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina shoreline. Topographic lidar coverage was obtained from the shoreline onshore 250 meters. Bathymetric lidar coverage extends from the shoreline offshore 500 meters or to laser extinction, whichever occurs first. The planned data density is 2 points/m² on land and in shallow water. In deeper water the planned data density decreases to 0.7 points/m². 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.
Every effort within operational constraints was made to achieve the intended data coverage and planned point densities.
Completeness Report
This data set covers the spatial extent of topographic lidar data obtained during this survey.
Conceptual Consistency
No discernable offsets or horizontal shifts were found during visual inspecton of the lidar-derived grid products against basemap imagery products. Data passes assessments against ground-truth points.
The steps below outline the basic workflow JALBTCX employs to produce lidar point clouds.
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.
2018-10-02T00:00:00
LAS files are imported into TerraScan V18 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).

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received 190 laz files for the South Carolina coastline from USACE JALBTCX. The lidar data had elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in geographic coordinates (NAD83 2011) and ellipsoid elevations in meters. The data were classified as: 1 - Unclassified, 2 - Ground, 29 - Bathymetric Point. OCM processed all classifications of points to the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV). Classes available on the DAV are: 1, 2, 29.
OCM performed the following processing on the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes:
1. The LAStools software scripts lasinfo and lasvalidate were run on the laz files to check for errors.
2. An internal OCM script was run to check the number of points by classification and by flight ID and the gps and intensity ranges.
3. Internal OCM scripts were run on the laz files to assign the geokeys, to sort the data by gps time and zip the data to database and to https.

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)
