Purpose:

This lidar data are an ancillary product of NOAA's Coastal Mapping Program (CMP), created through a wider Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative to increase support for multiple uses of the data. It is not intended for mapping, charting, or navigation. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing standards for airborne lidar.

Notes:

11389

Supplemental Information:

NAVD88 (GEOID12B) DEM data includes utilization of ground (2), bathymetric point (26), submerged object (29), and International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 object (30) classification fields from LAS files. An automated ground classification algorithm was used to determine bare earth point classification. It should be noted that not all returns may be correctly classified; therefore the user should examine for acceptability.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1289071
Description:

Data were processed to an initial LAS format using the Riegl RiProcess software. The Applanix POSPac software was utilized for GPS and inertial processing, and GeoCue, Terrasolid, and LP360 software for data visualization, 3D editing, and export to final LAS file. Data were processed in NAD83 horizontal and vertical datum. VDatum was used to process to the MLLW datum. Uncertainties in the vertical datum transformations equate to 9.7 centimeters. QT Modeler was utilized to create the initial 1 meter DEM from an LAS 1.2 format file utilizing ground (2), bathymetric point (26), submerged object (29), and International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 object (30) classification fields for input. The values in the DEM were not rounded (no rounding rule was applied).
