        abstract:  The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) dataset consists of tiled lidar DEM Images. Each file contains a raster image of the DEM. The Geographical Extent of this dataset extends to the entirety of the Southwest FL Lidar boundary delivery, approximately 2,347 square miles of the AOIs.
        purpose:  The USGS/NRCS contracted Digital Aerial Solutions, LLC to obtain professional services related to the planning, acquisition and development of Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) data and derivative products. The task order is for a QL1 Lidar survey to be collected over Lee and Collier county in FL. The deliverable products would be used by the USGS/NRCS for conservation planning, design, research, floodplain mapping, wetlands identification, dam safety assessments, hydrologic modeling, and other environmental purposes.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  Horizontal error in lidar derived elevation data is largely a function of positional error as derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), attitude (angular orientation) error (as derived from the INS) and flying altitude; and can be estimated based on these paraMeters. Qualitative value: 0.783, Test that produced the valued: This data set was produced to meet ASPRS “Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data” (2014) for a 0.226 Meters RMSEx/RMSEy Horizontal Accuracy Class which equates to Positional Horizontal Accuracy =+/- 0.783 Meters at a 95% confidence level Estimated LiDAR Horizontal Error Per Point.

            nameOfMeasure:  Vertical Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Vertical Accuracy of the bare-earth lidar data was assessed and reported in accordance with the ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data; One-hundred Thirty-nine (139) surveyed points were measured for the purpose of assessing the accuracy of the FL Southwest LiDAR data (79 NVA + 60 VVA). Both data sets, Lidar and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) have been tested for there individual vertical accuracy levels. The Lidar was tested by using interpolation while the DEMs where tested by extracting the elevation of a pixel containing the checkpoint. All DEM Vertical accuracy results are reported in the DEM Metadata reports while this project wide Metadata file is reporting the vertical accuracy results from the the source Lidar. Required Non Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA): 0.196 Meters. Required Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA): 0.294 Meters.Qualitative value:0.179 0.229, Test that produced the value: The NVA of the Digital Elevation Model was calculated against TINs derived from the final calibrated and controlled swath data using 79 NVA checkpoints located in Bare Earth land cover class. The root mean square error vertical (RMSEz) was computed to be 0.091 Meters The the Accuracy Z was tested to be 0.179 Meters NVA at 95-percent confidence level using RSME(z) x 1.9600 as defined by the National Standards for spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Guidelines. The VVA of the Digital Elevation Model was calculated against TINs derived from the final calibrated and controlled swath data using 60 VVA checkpoints located in the Brushlands and Low Trees and Tall Weeds and Crops land cover categories. The the Accuracy Z was tested to be 0.229 Meters VVA at 95th percentile using RSME(z) x 1.9600 as defined by the National Standards for spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Guidelines.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  The RAW LAS data files included all data points collected. No points have been removed or excluded. A visual qualitative assessment was performed to ensure data completeness. No void areas or missing data exist. The RAW point cloud is of good quality and data passes Fundamental Vertical Accuracy specifications. Void areas (i.e., areas outside the project boundary but within the tiling scheme) are coded using a unique “NODATA” value. This value is identified in the appropriate location within the file header.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  Aerial lidar data covers the entire 2,347 square mile Area of Interest intended for this project task. All lidar point cloud tiles show no edge artifacts or mismatches from tile to tile. Void areas (i.e., areas outside the project boundary but within the tiling scheme) are coded using a unique “NODATA” value. This value is identified in the appropriate location within the file header. Data cover the entire area specified for this project.
