Abstract

This data set is one component of a digital terrain model (DTM) for Weeki Wachee, Hernando County,

Florida encompassing approximately 13.5 square miles. This dataset is comprised of 15 LiDAR files,

based on the DISTRICT 5,000' by 5,000' sheet index system, in the LAS file format. The raw data was

collected on 1 March 2005 at an average ground sample distance of 1-meter. Other components of the

DTM include: 3-D breaklines along hydrographic features in the Shape file format; lake/pond polygons

(in 3D) in the shape file format; obscured area polygons (in 2D) in the Shape file format;

and hard/soft breaklines (in 3D) in the Shape file format.

Data Quality

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Features detected in the elevation map are consistent with features on digital orthophotographs that meet National Map Accuracy Standards at a scale of 1:1200. The horizontal and vertical accuracy requirements of this project were: 3.8-feet (95% confidence level) horizontal and 0.59-feet (95% confidence level) vertical. Tested 1.1 m (3.6-feet) horizontal accuracy at the 95% confidence level.; Quantitative Value: 1.09 meters, Test that produced the value:

Tested 1.09 horizontal accuracy at the 95% confidence level. Horizontal accuracy was

tested by comparison of photo identifiable field survey ground truth QC test points (6 points total) against the corresponding

position with the digital orthophoto imagery. One hundred percent (100%) met the NMAS accuracy criteria for 1:1200 mapping.

Vertical Positional Accuracy:

Unobscured and obscured points were tested by field survey QC test points.

Thirty (30) total points were captured randomly across the project extents. The horizontal and vertical

accuracy requirements of this project were: 3.8-feet (95% confidence level) horizontal and 0.1798 (95%

confidence level) vertical.

; Quantitative Value: 0.1189 meters, Test that produced the value:

Vertical accuracy was tested by elevation comparison of field survey ground

truth QC test points (30 points total) against the corresponding position within the TIN derived from the DTM. One

point (1) did not meet the 95th percentile criteria.

Completeness Report:

All elevation measurements within the bounding coordinates of this XML were used to derive

this dataset. This map data is not complete without a signed and sealed Minimum Technical Standards Report of

Specific Purpose Survey: Weeki Wachee LiDAR Project, Hernando County, Florida dated January 6, 2006. Refer to

this document for use constraints.

Conceptual Consistency:

Unobscured and obscured points were tested by field survey QC test points. Thirty (30)

total points were captured randomly across the project extents. The horizontal and vertical accuracy requirements

of this project were: 3.8-feet (95% confidence level) horizontal and 0.59-feet (95% confidence level) vertical.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1134404
Description:

The LiDAR data was acquired using a Leica ALS50 from an altitude of 1,000-meters above ground

level to provide an average ground sample distance of 1-meter. The scanner field of view was

44-degrees, and the scan rate was 33-hertz. First and last return data was collected along with

the signal return intensity. Two redundant airborne GPS bases stations were utilized during the

data acquisition with maximum line-of-sight distance between the base station and aircraft of 20-km.

The LiDAR data was reduced using Grafnav (Waypoint Consulting) for GPS post-processing, PosProc

(Applanix Crop) for IMU processing, ALS50 Post Processor (LH Systems) to initial LiDAR processing,

TerraScan (Terrasolid) for initial point classification, and proprietary Woolpert developed

software for refining the point classification and QC.

The LAS files contain 4 classifications: 1 = unclassified; 2 = ground; 9 = water; and 10 =

photogrammetric mass points. The class 1 consists of all points not on the ground. Class

2 consists of bare earth points. Class 3 consists of points within water polygons such as

swamps and/or wetlands. Class 4 consists of supplementary mass points that were

photogrammetrically compiled on points features such as peaks or pits, and they were created

to maintain the accuracy of the DTM.

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1134405
Description:

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received the files in las format. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity

measurements. The data were in FL State Plane West coordinates and NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in feet. OCM performed the

following processing for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes:

1. The data were converted from FL State Plane west coordinates to geographic coordinates.

2. The data were converted from NAVD88 (orthometric) heights in feet to GRS80 (ellipsoid) heights in meters using Geoid 03.

3. The LAS data were sorted by latitude and the headers were updated.
