The geographic extent of the data set is equivalent to the quarter-quadrangle plus 30 meters of overedge. The data is created by combining data collected using an Optech Inc. Airborne Laser Terrain Mapper (ALTM) 1225 in combination with geodetic quality Global Positioning System (GPS) airborne and ground-based receivers. The Bureau of Economic Geology, the University of Texas at Austin owns and operates an ALTM 1225 system (serial number 99d118). This system is installed in a single engine Cessna 206 (tail number N4589U) owned and operated by the Texas State Aircraft Pooling Board. The lidar data described by this document was collected on 18 September 2002 (26102) between 20:34 and 00:08 UTC (actual data collection). Conditions on that day were low clouds at 335m Above Ground Level (AGL), haze, and occasional showers. 99d118 instrument settings for this flight were; laser pulse rate: 25kHz, scanner rate: 26Hz, scan angle: +/-20deg, beam divergence: wide, altitude: 300-490m AGL, and ground speed: 70-106kts. Three GPS base stations, 2 Ashtech and 1 Trimble 4000SSI receivers (backup), were operating during the survey. The three base stations were at the following locations: one 3.5km south of San Luis Pass, one at the Scholes International Airport Galveston, and one on the seawall at Rollover Pass. This data set consists of 1687100 records of x,y, and z values. The data set was generated from a larger data set and includes all valid points within the requested geographic bounds. purpose: The data described in this document are being used to create Digital Elevation Models of the Texas Coast. The DEMs are being used to map the position of the shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico coast of Texas for determining rates of shoreline change following Tropical Storm Fay (September 2002). credit: Bureau of Economic Geology, University of Texas at Austin: J.

The ALTM 1225 does not digitize and record the waveform of the laser reflection, but records the range and backscatter intensity of the first and last laser reflection using a constant-fraction discriminator and two Timing Interval Meters (TIM). ALTM elevation points are computed using three sets of data: laser ranges and their associated scan angles, platform position and orientation information, and calibration data and mounting parameters (Wehr and Lohr, 1999). Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in the aircraft and on the ground provide platform positioning. The GPS receivers record pseudo-range and phase information for post-processing. Platform orientation information comes from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) containing three orthogonal accelerometers and gyroscopes. An aided-Inertial Navigation System (INS) solution for the aircraft's attitude is estimated from the IMU output and the GPS information. Wehr, A. and U.

Data estimated to have a horizontal accuracy of 0.01-0.03m from ground surveys using kinematic GPS techniques were superimposed on the lidar DEM and examined for any mismatch between the horizontal position of the ground GPS and the corresponding feature on the lidar DEM. Horizontal agreement between the ground kinematic GPS and the lidar was within the resolution of the 1m x 1m DEM. result: report: (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy) nameOfMeasure: Vertical Positional Accuracy Report evaluationMethodDescription: Ground GPS surveys were conducted within the lidar survey area to acquire ground "truth" information. The ground survey points are estimated to have a vertical accuracy of 0.01-0.05m. Roads, which are open areas with an unambiguous surface, were surveyed using kinematic GPS techniques. A lidar data set was sorted to find data points that fell within 0.5m of a ground GPS survey point. The mean elevation difference between the lidar and the ground GPS was used to estimate and remove an elevation bias from the lidar. The standard deviation of these elevation differences provides estimates of the lidar precision. The 2002 lidar data set was determined to have an elevation bias of 0.06m when compared to ground truth. The 0.06m bias was removed so that mean lidar elevations conform to NAVD88 with an RMSE of 0.103m. result: report: (DQ_CompletenessCommission) evaluationMethodDescription: Data were edited to remove outliers with ranges above of 2200m and below 100m. result: report: (DQ_ConceptualConsistency) measureDescription: Not applicable result: lineage: (LI_Lineage) processStep: (LE_ProcessStep) description: Transfer raw ALTM 1225 flight data, airborne GPS data collected at 1 Hz using Ashtech receiver, and ground-based GPS data collected at 1 Hz using Ashtech and Trimble 4000SSI receivers to NT workstation. Generate decimated lidar point file from above three data sets using Optech's Realm 2.27 software. This is a 9-column ASCII data set with the following format: time tag; first pulse Easting, Northing, HAE; last pulse Easting, Northing, HAE; first pulse intensity; and last pulse intensity. View decimated lidar point file to check data coverage (i.e. sufficient overlap of flight lines and point spacing). Compute base station coordinates using National Geodetic Survey's PAGES software. Computed aircraft trajectories for both base stations using National Geodetic Survey's KINPOS software. Coordinates for base stations and trajectories are in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2000 (ITRF2000) datum. Trajectories from both base stations were merged into one. Weighting for trajectory merge is based upon baseline length (distance from base station) and solution RMS. Transformed trajectory solution from ITRF2000 to North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Use NAD83 trajectories and aircraft inertial measurement unit data in Applanix's POSProc version 2.1.4 to compute an optimal 50Hz inertial navigation solution. Substitute the aircraft position and attitude information from the inertial navigation solution into Realm 2.27. Extract calibration area data set from lidar point file for quality control and instrument calibration checks. If necessary, use multiple iterations to adjust calibration parameters (pitch, roll, and scale) and reprocess sample data set. Then generate entire lidar point file (9-column ASCII file). Transfer point file from NT workstation to UNIX workstation. Parse the 9-column lidar point file into 3.75-minute quarter-quadrangle components and apply elevation bias correction (determined during calibration step). There are some points in the file that only contain 5-columns. These are points that either the first or last pulse was not recorded.

The xyz values for the last return were extracted from the 9-column file. The data were converted to geographic coordinates using General Cartographic Transformation Program software developed by the United States Geological Survey. A vertical datum transformation was performed to convert vertical elevations referenced to GRS80 ellipsoid to NAVD88 using National Geodetic Survey (NGS) GEOID99 grids. The data were then converted to a binary format and loaded into the LIDAR Data Retrieval Tool (LDART) database. dateTime: DateTime: 2003-02-24T00:00:00 processor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: DOC/NOAA/NOS/CSC > Coastal Services Center, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 843-740-1200 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 2234 South Hobson Ave. city: Charleston administrativeArea: SC postalCode: 29405-2413 electronicMailAddress: csc.info@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) processor processStep: (LE_ProcessStep) description: The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) received lidar data files via ftp transfer from the NOAA Coastal Services Center.

The LAS format is an industry standard for LiDAR data developed by the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS); LAZ is a loseless compressed version of LAS developed by Martin Isenburg (http://www.laszip.org/). The data are exclusively in geographic coordinates (either NAD83 or ITRF94). The data are referenced vertically to the ellipsoid (either GRS80 or ITRF94), allowing for the ability to apply the most up to date geoid model when transforming to orthometric heights. dateTime: DateTime: 2006-01-03T00:00:00 processor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Pamela Grothe organisationName: DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce contactInfo: (CI_Contact) contactInstructions: Contact Data Center role: (CI_RoleCode) processor source: (LI_Source) description: Source Contribution: Raw lidar data files.
