			<abstract>Axis Geospatial has contracted Atlantic to obtain professional services related to the development of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data between April 2015 and June 2015.  This data set is consisting of LiDAR Point Cloud, Classified LiDAR, Digital Elevation Model, and LiDAR Intensity Images which all pieces encompasses the entire 2,424 Square miles (6,278 km)of the NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Spring2015 project area.  The project area spans 5 counties including Warren, Washington, Essex, Hamilton, and Franklin.  This data set consists of LiDAR point cloud with nominal pulse spacing of 0.5557m, LAS swath files (249), and tiled Las files. Each LAS file contains LiDAR point information, which has been calibrated, controlled, and classified. Each file represents a separate swath of LiDAR.

Ground Conditions: water at normal levels; no unusual inundation; no snow; leaf off

The calibrated point cloud data from the laser sensor was merged to produce processed (*.las) files including but not limited to 3D position, intensity, and time-stamp. A filtering methodology was utilized to produce a multi-return surface elevation model dataset with bare-earth conditions. GeoCue, TerraScan, and TerraModel software was used for the initial batch processing and manual editing of the (*.las) point clouds. The errors (noise columns) in classification were corrected by identifying the areas of dense noise in the point cloud and manually removing the incorrectly classified ground surfaces and above ground features.The Withheld and Overlap flags were utilized for the final LAS v1.4 file production.  These classified LiDAR points were then used in the creation of other deliverables such as Bare-Earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and LiDAR Intensity images.The final deliverables are in UTM and includes 2783 tiles.


How the Withheld Points are Identified:	Withheld (ignore) points were identified in the files using the standard LAS Withheld bit.

				<procdesc>Aerial LiDAR Acquisition: Aerial data collection was acquired in sixteen (16) missions, using the ALS70 SN#7123 at a max flying height of 3500 AGL. This was to support a 2.5 ppm^2 LiDAR point cloud. Airborne GPS and IMU data was collected during the acquisition and supported by Topcon Viper GPS, Data acquisition was completed on May 23rd 2015.

Ground Control Survey: A survey was performed by Axis Geospatial to support the acquisition of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). The control network involved a total of 673 check points (294 NVA + 379 VVA). The points were a combination of the following ground cover classification: Open Terrain, Urban Terrain, Bare Earth, and High Grass.</procdesc>

				<procdesc>LiDAR Pre-processing: Airborne GPS and IMU data were merged to develop a Single Best Estimate (SBET) of the LiDAR system trajectory for each lift. LiDAR ranging data were initially calibrated using previous best parameters for this instrument and aircraft. Relative calibration was evaluated using advanced plane-matching analysis and parameter corrections derived. This process was repeated interactively until residual errors between overlapping swaths, across all project lifts, was reduced to 2 cm or less. Data was then block adjusted to match surveyed calibration control. Raw data NVA was checked using independently surveyed check points. Swath overage points were identified and tagged within each swath file.</procdesc>

			<procdesc>Noise Columns: The isolated dense erroneous points presenting as columns of noise both above and below the bare-earth surface are almost entirely in Blocks 1 and 2 (Affected Tiles shapefile attached). This type of noise is only present in the SN7123 ALS70 sensor acquired data in the southern half of the project area. A combination of the acquisition discriminator settings, flying height, FOV, terrain, and surface reflectance were the cause of these occurrences. In these instances the scanner’s nadir position (scanner nadir as opposed to the center of the acquired swath) in correlation to the planar surface of a roof or waterbody exhibited a bias in the digitized intensity from the low-gain channels. As the laser output is scanned through the point where the laser output is perpendicular to the roof or water surface with very low reflectance the increased sensitivity from the acquisition discriminator settings resulted in an increase of laser backscatter reflected into the receiver. That backscatter was represented as columns of erroneous points or noise, while this did not affect the laser returns at ground level it did effect the automated high noise filtering in the initial classification process.</procdesc><procdate>20150615</procdate><proctime>0800</proctime><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_02_A</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_03_A</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_05_A</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_05_B</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_06_A</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_06_B</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_06_C</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_07_A</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_07_B</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_07_C</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_07_D</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_05_23_A</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_04_29_A</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_04_29_B</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_04_29_C</srcused><srcused>NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Acq_04_30_A</srcused></procstep>

				<procdesc>LiDAR Post-Processing: The calibrated and controlled LiDAR swaths were processed using automatic point classification routines in TerraSolid software. These routines operate against the entire collection (all swaths, all lifts), eliminating character differences between files. Data were then distributed as virtual tiles to experienced LiDAR analysts for localized automatic classification, manual editing, and peer-based QC checks. Supervisory QC monitoring of work in progress and completed editing ensured consistency of classification character and adherence to project requirements across the entire project. All classification tags are stored in the original swath files. After completion of classification and final QC approval, the NVA and VVA for the project are calculated. Sample areas for each land cover type present in the project were extracted and forwarded to the client, along with the results of the accuracy tests. Upon acceptance, the complete classified LiDAR swath files were delivered to the client.</procdesc>
