The following is a Project Report that details the technical parameters, procedures and results of Task Order G09PD00703 issued to Photo Science by the US Geological Survey (Contract #07CRCN0014) on March 16, 2009 to provide Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) collection and processing services for Salem County, NJ. Photo Science provided professional mapping services necessary to collect and processes 2.0 points per square meter (0.7m GSD) LiDAR data for Salem County, New Jersey consisting of approximately 275 sq. miles. Photo Science was responsible for complete acquisition of the project area at the required data density and for the processing of data to bare earth as well as production of additional derivative products described herein. The lineage (metadata), positional, content (completeness), attribution, logical consistency, and accuracies of all digital elevation data produced in this Task Order conform to the specifications as stated in Task Order Sections C.1.a through C.1.f. The flight line layout is shown in the graphic below. A total of 68 flight lines totaling 755 flight line miles were required to cover the project area. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
