Aerial Cartographics of America Inc. (ACA) collected 1,535 square miles in the Florida counties of Osceola, Polk and Orange. The nominal pulse spacing for this project was 1 point every 0.5 meters. Dewberry used proprietary procedures to classify the LAS according to project specifications: 0-Never Classified, 1-Unclassified, 2-Ground, 7-Low Noise, 9-Water, 10-Ignored Ground due to breakline proximity, 17- Bridge Decks, 18-High Noise. Dewberry produced 3D breaklines and combined these with the final LiDAR data to produce seamless hydro flattened DEMs for the project area. The data was formatted according to the tile naming convention as stated in the project SOW with each tile covering an area of 2,500 feet by 2,500 ft. A total of 7,292 LAS and DEM tiles were produced for the entire project. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the laz files from this USGS site ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/Elevation/LPC/Projects/USGS_LPC_FL_Osceola_2015_LAS_2017/ and processed the data to the Data Access Viewer (DAV) and to https. The total number of files downloaded and processed was 7292. The hydro breaklines were also downloaded and are available at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record. Please note that these products have not been reviewed by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) and any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA or OCM. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
