Axis Geospatial has contracted Atlantic to obtain professional services related to the development of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data between April 2015 and June 2015. This data set is consisting of LiDAR Point Cloud, Classified LiDAR, Digital Elevation Model, and LiDAR Intensity Images which all pieces encompasses the entire 2,424 Square miles (6,278 km) of the NY_WarrenWashingtonEssex_Spring2015 project area. The project area spans 5 counties including Warren, Washington, Essex, Hamilton, and Franklin. This data set consists of LiDAR point cloud with nominal pulse spacing of 0.5557 m, and tiled Las files. Each LAS file contains LiDAR point information, which has been calibrated, controlled, and classified. Ground Conditions: water at normal levels; no unusual inundation; no snow; leaf off The calibrated point cloud data from the laser sensor was merged to produce processed (*.las) files including but not limited to 3D position, intensity, and time-stamp. A filtering methodology was utilized to produce a multi-return surface elevation model dataset with bare-earth conditions. GeoCue, TerraScan, and TerraModel software was used for the initial batch processing and manual editing of the (*.las) point clouds. The errors (noise columns) in classification were corrected by identifying the areas of dense noise in the point cloud and manually removing the incorrectly classified ground surfaces and above ground features.The Withheld and Overlap flags were utilized for the final LAS v1.4 file production. These classified LiDAR points were then used in the creation of other deliverables such as Bare-Earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and LiDAR Intensity images. The final deliverables include 2783 tiles. How the Withheld Points are Identified: Withheld (ignore) points were identified in the files using the standard LAS Withheld bit. Class Code:0 Class Item: Never Classified Class Code:1 Class Item: Undetermined/Unclassified Class Code:2 Class Item: Ground Class Code:7 Class Item:Low Point (Noise) Class Code:17 Class Item:Bridge Deck Class Code:18 Class Item:High Noise In addition to these lidar point data, the bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEM) created from the lidar point data are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
