Woolpert Inc. conducted a LiDAR survey to acquire LiDAR capable of producing a DEM for orthophoto rectification and able to support 2-foot contour specifications. The LiDAR data was acquired across the project area of Dorchester County, SC. The lidar data acquisition was executed in 5 sessions, from March 5 to March 7, 2007, using a Leica ALS50(83) Lidar System. The airborne GPS (ABGPS) base stations supporting the LiDAR acquisition consisted of the bases set up by the flight crews at KDYB Airport. Dual Frequency data was logged continuously for the duration of each LiDAR flight mission at a one-second sampling rate or better. The flight plan for LiDAR consisted of parallel flights in a north-south extent across the site. Ninety-seven (97) flight lines of LiDAR data were acquired. No problems were encountered during the LiDAR data acquisition phase of the project which would adversely affect the final accuracy, nor schedule of the final deliverables.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
