The rover (vehicle) as processed against one of 13 temporary base stations located throughout the survey sites. These stations were positioned by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) with output in NAD83(2011)(Epoch 2010.0). The post processed kinematic data relative to the temporary base stations were then filtered by the following criteria: fixed ambiguity positions only, 3D quality better than 0.2 feet and no two consecutive points spaced closer than 50 feet horizontally. This resulted in 61,392 usable points for all three phases of the project which were used to QC the vertical fit of the LiDAR data. Vertical RMSE = 0.137 ft (4.2 cm) result: (missing) lineage: (LI_Lineage) statement: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the GeoTiff files from the Washington Lidar Portal. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Flights were planned to acquire LiDAR data in the provided boundary, totaling approximately 118 square miles. The flight plan was designed with a minimum of 50% overlap in swath footprint to minimize laser shadowing and gaps. Utilizing this flight plan in conjunction with flying in opposing directions, GeoTerra can ensure final point density across the project. Flight planning was performed using Optech Flight Management System (FMS) software to calculate optimum parameters in order to meet project requirements and accommodate terrain variations. The Optech Galaxy sensor produces a pulse rate range of 35 - 550 kHz and can record up to 8 range measurements per laser pulse emitted. PulseTRAK and SwathTRAK technology were employed allowing the sensor to maintain regular point distribution and constant-width flight lines despite changes in terrain. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: During the aerial LiDAR survey, the Airborne GNSS (AGNSS) technique was utilized to obtain X,Y,Z coordinates of the laser during acquisition. The data collected during the two flights (27 & 28-Jan-2017) was post-processed into a Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) binary file of the laser trajectory. Once the SBET had been created it was used to geo-reference the laser point cloud during the mapping process. The LiDAR data was acquired utilizing an Optech Galaxy sensor with integrated Applanix POS AV GNSS/IMU systems. During the flight the receiver on board the aircraft logged GNSS data at 1 Hz interval and IMU data at 200 Hz interval. After the flight, the GNSS and IMU data were post-processed using NovAtel's Waypoint Products Group software package, Inertial Explorer Version 8.70.3114. Three Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) (P415, P417 and P430) located within approximately 30 km of the project area were used for ground control stations during the flights and were held at their surveyed (NAD83)(2011)(epoch 2010.0) positions relative to the ground control points (GCP) previously established during the project. The CORS and their positions are as follows: P415: 46 39 21.55257, -123 43 47.45466, -15.121 m (ellipsoidal height) P417: 46 34 29.04177, -123 17 52.48619, 102.786 m (ellipsoidal height) P430: 47 00 13.82430, -123 26 10.33804, -4.108 m (ellipsoidal height) For the 27-Jan-2017 flight all three CORS were used and for the 28-Jan-2017 flight, P417 and P430 were used. Lever arm offsets between the IMU and the L1 phase center of the aircraft antenna were computed within Inertial Explorer for the flight mission and then combined with the fixed lever arm from the IMU to the mirror which were held at the internal Optech provided values of x= -0.051, y= -0.153, z= 0.003 meters from the IMU to the Mirror (where positive x = right, positive y = fwd, positive z = up). This resulted in a precise trajectory of the laser that was output as an NAD83(2011)(Epoch 2010.0) SBET file with data points each 1/200 of a second. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Raw range data from the sensor was decoded using Optech's LMS software. Instrument corrections were then applied to the laser ranges and scan angles. Afterwards, the range files were split into the separate flight lines. The laser point computation used the results of the decoding, description of the instrument, and locations of the aircraft (from the SBET files) as inputs and calculated the location of each point for every laser pulse emitted from the sensor. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Relative and absolute adjustment of all strips was accomplished using Optech's LMS and TerraMatch software. Optech's LMS software performed automated extraction of planar surfaces from the point cloud according to specified parameters in this project. Tie plane determinations established the correspondence between planes in overlapping flight lines. All plane centers of the lines that formed a block are organized into a gridded matrix. Planes from overlapping flight lines, co-located to within an acceptable tolerance are then tested for spatial accuracy. A set of accurately calculated tie planes are selected for self-calibration. Selection criteria include variables such as: size and shape of plane, the number of laser points, slope of plane, orientation of plane with respect to flight direction, location of plane within the flight line, and the fitting error. These criteria have an effect on the overall correction, as they determine the geometry of the adjustment. Self-calibration parameters are then calculated. After these parameters are determined, they are used to re-calculate the laser point locations (x,y,z). The planar surfaces are then re-calculated for a final adjustment. Figure illustrates the correctional process. Afterward the planes were analyzed to assess the internal fit of the data block as a whole. For each tie plane, the mean values were computed for each flight line that overlapped the tie plane. Mean values of the point to plane distances were plotted over scan angle. Additionally, flight mission was further reviewed and adjusted in TerraMatch using a tie line approach. This method allows adjustments in areas where planes aren't easily determined. The process began as the software measured the difference between lines (observations) in overlapping strips. These observed differences were translated into correction values for the system orientation - easting, northing, elevation, heading, roll, pitch and mirror scale. After a tight relative fit was achieved, an absolute vertical offset was calculated using surveyed control points. The algorithm computes an average value for the height difference for all control points by comparison to the laser points within specified radius around the control point. During absolute adjustment, data was shifted by the following value: +0.201 ft Point 16-357-007 was withheld from statistics due to it being collected on top of concrete block, but was used to visually assess the horizontal fit. LiDAR QC points were obtained using post processed kinematic GNSS data from a moving vehicle along selected roads within the project area boundary (Error! Reference source not found.). The rover (vehicle) as processed against one of 13 temporary base stations located throughout the survey sites. These stations were positioned by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) with output in NAD83(2011)(Epoch 2010.0). The post processed kinematic data relative to the temporary base stations were then filtered by the following criteria: fixed ambiguity positions only, 3D quality better than 0.2 feet and no two consecutive points spaced closer than 50 feet horizontally. This resulted in 61,392 usable points for all three phases of the project which were used to QC the vertical fit of the LiDAR data. Out of 8151 points used in the statistical comparison only 21 points were outside of -0.5 ft - 0.5 ft range, making it 99.9% of points that fit within project specification. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Once the point cloud adjustment was achieved with the desired relative and absolute accuracy, all strips in LAS format were brought into classification software. Rigorous selection algorithms built within TerraScan were used to automatically classify the data. To ensure accurate ground classification, various parameters were defined. Data from the edges of the strips were omitted during the initial ground classification to maintain quality and grounding was initiated at low seed points and gradually increased. A tailored approach was formulated for different areas within the project. Various specifications were used to determine how aggressive the automated ground classification algorithm should have been. In relatively flat or urban areas, a more tempered approach was used as to not include small buildings and urban features. In the more rural areas, a more aggressive grounding approach was used to better capture steep slopes and sharp natural features that might otherwise be ignored as a ground feature. Once the ground surface was established, points above the ground were extracted into separate classes including: vegetation, structures and water. Significant buildings and structures were auto-extracted by searching above ground classes for planar features. QC procedures were implemented in LP360 and TerraScan to manually check and correct any remaining misclassifications. Several routines were implemented to determine bird strikes and other high noise points as well as Overlap points. Routines that were employed are below. Isolated points - Points that have few neighbors within a determined 3d search radius were classified as class18_high noise points. Height filter - After ground surface was created a height above ground was determined to delete points beyond that threshold. Manual checks using automatic and semi-automatic methods (subtracting ground from first return raster results in areas to check visually for any outstanding points); low points and noisy ground points were also found using several similar routines. Classifying points which are lower than others in their immediate neighborhood. Excluding points from ground surface that in the process of building ground triangles doesn't meet triangle edge length criteria it ensures that some noisy points are excluded from ground surface. Additionally, in the effort to maintain the highest quality ground representation, the data went through a process of identifying and excluding data on the outer edge of flight swaths that did not meet GeoTerra's quality standard. Due to the nature of an oscillating mirror scanner, the data farthest from nadir is somewhat disrupting resulting in less accurate point returns. This data is not utilized in the representation of the terrain surface. The least accurate data from the outer edge was extracted to class 12-Overlap. All the remaining data went through GeoTerra's standard classification process of defining ground, and above ground features. Once ground points were identified and classified in the middle part of the flight line, a quality base from neighboring flight lines was created that could be used to compare the class 12-Overlap data against the quality ground returns from the nadir collection. If data from class 12-Overlap was within a tight range of height above and below the nadir ground plane, it was reclassified from 12-Overlap to 02-Ground. If the data was outside of that range, it was not considered to have met the standard of quality needed to be used in the ground surface and will be left on 12-Overlap class (Figure ). This data can be left in the dataset to later be used as supplemental reference information, however should not be considered as quality information from which to take measurements or conduct analysis on. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The final dataset was cut into delivery tiles. Tiles were created according to contractual division of USGS quadrangles. Data within a 100ft buffered boundary was reviewed for classification. Cross strips were left in the dataset as class 00 and were not used in other classification determinations or any LiDAR derivative products. processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Classified ground returns were used to create a LAS Dataset. The LAS Dataset was later converted into a 3ft-cell ESRI floating grid, using a triangulation method of interpolation, and linear method of void filling. Hydro-flattening ensured the most accurate surface near water bodies where flowing rivers were outlined maintaining downstream flow. Cell alignment of the raster product corresponded to an origin point of x=200,000, y=-200,000 (WA State Plane South, NAD83(HARN)). processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded 8 raster DEM files in GeoTiff format from the Washington Lidar Portal. The data were in Washington State Plane South NAD83(2011), US survey feet coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid12A) elevations in feet. The bare earth raster files were at a 3 feet grid spacing. No metadata record was provided with the data.
