LiDAR data is a remotely sensed high resolution elevation data collected by an airborne platform. The LiDAR sensor uses a combination of laser range finding,
GPS positioning, and inertial measurement technologies. The LiDAR systems collect data point clouds that are used to produce highly detailed Digital
Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures, and vegetation. The task required the LiDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse
spacing (NPS) of 1.0 meter. The final products include full classified LAS, hydrologically flattened four (4) foot pixel raster DEM's of the bare earth
surface in IMG Format, and hydrologically flattened breaklines in gdb format. Links to the hydrologically flattened 4 foot pixel raster bare earth DEMs and
the hydrologically flattened breaklines are provided in the Supplemental Information section below.
This metadata record describes the classified LAS files. The classifications of lidar data available from the Digital Coast are:
1 Unclassified
2 Ground
7 Noise
9 Water
10 Ignored Ground
17 Overlap Unclassified
18 Overlap Ground
This lidar data set also includes lidar intensity values. Intensity information is captured from the reflective surface pulse and indicates the relative energy
returned to the sensor, as compared to the energy transmitted. The intensity image is not calibrated or normalized but indicates differences in energy absorption due to the interaction of the surface materials with laser energy, at the wavelength transmitted by the sensor.
This lidar data set covers 1455 sq miles in Baldwin, Hancock, Morgan, and Putnam counties in Georgia. The data were collected Dec 19, 22, 28, 30, 2012 and
January 4, 5, 2013.
The LiDAR data were collected to meet Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA) Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 18.0 cm or better at a 95% confidence level,
so that when combined with breaklines, the data adequately supports the generation of two (2) foot FEMA compliant contours. The final LiDAR data were
delivered in 5,000 ft x 5,000 ft tiles using NAD 1983(2011), Georgia State Plane Coordinate System, West Zone, and expressed in US Survey Feet for Morgan
and Putnam Counties. The final LiDAR data was delivered in 5,000 ft x 5,000 ft tiles using NAD 1983(2011), Georgia State Plane Coordinate System, East Zone,
and expressed in US Survey Feet for Baldwin and Hancock Counties. The vertical datum used for this survey is North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88),
and expressed in US Survey Feet. Upon receipt of the data, the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) converted the data for Digital Coast storage purposes.
The data were converted to geographic coordinates and ellipsoid heights, expressed in meters.
