Original Product: These are the lidar point cloud data as part of the required deliverables for the lidar project. Original Dataset Geographic Extent: Anne Arundel county, Maryland, covering approximately 459 square miles. Original Dataset Description: The lidar project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.35 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 2.1. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD83 (HARN), State Plane, Feet and vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID12B), Feet. Lidar data was delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to 619 individual 6000 ft x 4000 ft tiles, as tiled intensity rasters, and as tiled bare-earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 6000 ft x 4000 ft schema. Original Dataset Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected in late 2020, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post process the lidar data to meet task order specifications and meet ASPRS vertical accuracy guidelines, Sanborn Map Company, Inc., utilized a total of 10 ground control points that were used to calibrate the lidar to known ground locations established throughout the project area. An additional 50 independent accuracy check points, 30 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (30 NVA points), 20 in Tall Grass and Brushland/Low Trees categories (20 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These check points were not used to calibrate or post process the data. There was no point cloud metadata record available from iMAP, so this record, which supports the data entry in the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV), was created from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) metadata that was provided on the Maryland iMAP site. The 2020 Anne Arundel County, Maryland lidar point cloud data were downloaded from the Maryland iMAP site and the data were processed to be made available for bulk and custom download from the DAV. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
