Description:

Abstract:

A digital elevation model (DEM) mosaic was produced for Fire Island, New York, from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected by Photo Science, Inc. using an Optech Gemini lidar sensor flown on a Cessna 206 aircraft

Purpose:

The purpose of this project was to produce a highly detailed and accurate digital elevation map for Fire Island, New York for use as a management tool and to make these data available to natural-resource managers and research scientists. To ensure that SPCMSC data management protocols were followed, this survey was assigned a USGS field activity number (FAN), 12CNT09. Additional survey and data details are available at http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=12CNT09. USGS Contract: G10PC00026 Task Order Number: G10PD00588

Supplemental_Information:

Processed data products are used by the U.S. Geological Survey CMGP's National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project to quantify the vulnerability of shorelines to coastal change hazards such as severe storms, sea-level rise, and shoreline erosion and retreat.

Data_Set_Credit:

Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected. Sharing of new data layers developed directly from these data would also be appreciated by the U.S. Geological Survey staff. Users should be aware that comparisons with other datasets for the same area from other periods may be inaccurate because of inconsistencies resulting from changes in photointerpretation, mapping conventions, and digital processes over time. These data are not legal documents and are not to be used as such.

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Photo Science, Inc. reports that data contain complete coverage of tiles and that "NoData" values, if present, correspond with values outside of the project area and are represented with a value of -9999.

Completeness_Report: These data cover Fire Island, New York.
Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Photo Science, Inc. reports that the Raster DEMs were tested for both vertical and horizontal accuracy and that all data are seamless from one tile to the next, without gaps or no data areas. They also report that the vertical unit of the data file is in decimal meters with 2-decimal point precision and that the reported RMSEz value of 0.041 was determined using the calibration control points, and not the Blind Control; and that the calibration control points are the same points that were used to remove any bias in the dataset before bare earth editing. The listed RMSEz value of 0.041 was calculated from the ground (ASPRS Class 2) data in the final Classified LAS file.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Photo Science, Inc. reports that Applanix software was used in the post processing of the airborne GPS and inertial data that is critical to the positioning and orientation of the sensor during all flights. POSPac MMS provides the smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) that is necessary for Optech's post processor to develop the point cloud from the LiDAR missions. The point cloud is the mathematical three dimensional collection of all returns from all laser pulses as determined from the aerial mission. At this point this data is ready for analysis, classification, and filtering to generate a bare earth surface model in which the above ground features are removed from the data set. The point cloud was manipulated within the Optech software; GeoCue, TerraScan, and TerraModeler software was used for the automated data classification, manual cleanup, and bare earth generation from this data. Project specific macros were used to classify the ground and to remove the side overlap between parallel flight lines. All data was manually reviewed and any remaining artifacts removed using functionality provided by TerraScan and TerraModeler. Using automated scripting routines within ArcMap, the ground (ASPRS Class 2) and bare water (USGS Class 14) were used to create the 1 meter DEM. Final DEM tiles were clipped to the project tile boundary to provide a seamless dataset. ERDAS IMG files were then created as the project deliverable. A manual QA review of the tiles was completed in ArcMap and Global Mapper to ensure full coverage with no gaps or slivers within the project area.
