Lidar data will serve multiple purposes, but have primarily been collected to (1) evaluate active faulting, slope instability, thaw settlement, erosion, and other engineering constraints along proposed pipeline routes, and (2) provide a base layer for the state-federal GIS database that will be used to evaluate permit applications and construction plans. The dataset represents ground-classified laser returns from the lidar survey and their associated geospatial coordinates.\nProvide high-resolution terrain elevation and land cover elevation data.\n\nThis metadata file was written to document and describe, as a whole, all points classified as ground points generated for this project. For each data delivery area, reports documenting data collection methodology, accuracy, and quality control were provided by Watershed Sciences and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). These reports have been combined into single comprehensive reports organized by delivery region. The lidar QC report (the comprehensive report from DOGAMI) and the lidar delivery report (the comprehensive report from Watershed Sciences) can be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.14509/22722. Information about the quadrangles included in individual delivery regions can be found in the lidar delivery index report included with the data download. The DGGS metadata standard extends the FGDC standard to also include several elements that are required to facilitate internal data management.

\nFairbanks\nAK\n99709-3707\nUSA\n\n907-451-5029\n907-451-5020\n\n\nData collection was was supported by funding from the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) and the Alaska Gas Pipeline Project Office and the Office of the Federal Coordinator. Lidar data was collected by Watershed Sciences, Inc., Corvallis, OR, Survey data was collected by McClintock Land Associates, Eagle River, AK, Quality control check for data was done by State of Oregon Department of Geology & Mineral Industries, Portland, OR.\nMicrosoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ALS Post Processing software v.2.70; Terra Scaan v. 11.009; TerraModeler v.11.004; TerraMatch v. 11.006\n\n\n\nAbsolute accuracy refers to the mean vertical offset of lidar laser point data relative to measured ground-control points (GCP) obtained throughout the lidar sampling area. The contractor used a surveying system to measure GCP's. GPS survey techniques allow surveyors to collect many precisely located GCP's which can be used as a control comparison with lidar elevations. A licensed surveyor is often able to post process GPS survey data to accuracies less than 1 cm both horizontally and vertically. Lidar 1 m grids were loaded into ArcGIS software for visual analysis. Data were examined through slope and hillshade models of bare earth returns. Both bare earth and highest hit models were examined for calibration offsets, tiling artifacts, seam line offsets, pits and birds. Please see the lidar delivery report and the lidar QC report for specific information about laser point processing and accuracy evaluation.\n\nLidar returns have been examined to ensure that data from overlapping flight lines have consistent elevation values. Project specifications require that lidar consistency, measured as vertical offsets of data between adjacent flight lines, must average less than 0.15 meters. Flight lines have been examined to ensure that there was at least 60% sidelap and that there are no data gaps. All file naming conventions and formats have been checked for consistency. Refer to the lidar QC report and the lidar delivery report for statistics from consistency analyses of individual delivery sets.\nAll data have been loaded and viewed to ensure completeness. LAS file headers have been scanned to ensure completeness and readability\n\n\nHorizontal accuracy refers to the ability to place laser points from multiple flight lines in the same location. Horizontal accuracy is measured as the divergence between points from overlapping flight lines. Accuracy is affected by system attitude offsets, scale and GPS/IMU drift. Manual system calibration and automated attitude calibration techniques were used to resolve divergence of data. Please see the lidar QC report and lidar delivery report for specific information about accuracy of lidar data.\n\n\nVertical accuracy refers to the elevation difference between measured GPS control data and lidar bare-earth digital elevation models. Project specifications require the root mean square vertical offset to be less than 0.2 meters. Please see the lidar QC report and lidar delivery report for specific information about accuracy and quality of lidar data, including a comparison of GCP elevations with bare-earth digital elevation model elevations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe American Society for Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing (ASPRS)\n02092008\nLAS Specification Version 1.2\ndocument\nhttp://www.asprs.org/a/society/committees/standards/asprs_las_format_v12.pdf\n\n\nonline\n\n\n\n02092008\n\n\npublication date\n\nASPRS, 2008\npoint classification categories\n\n\nAcquisition: The lidar data were collected between September and October 2010 and between May and July 2011. The survey used the Leica ALS60 system. Near-nadir scan angles were used to increase penetration of vegetation to ground surfaces. Ground-level GPS and aircraft IMU were collected during the flight.\n2010 and 2011\n\n\nProcessing lidar data: (1) Flight lines and data were reviewed to ensure complete coverage of the study area and positional accuracy of the laser points. (2) Laser point-return coordinates were computed using ALS Post Processor software, IPAS Pro GPS/INS software, and Waypoint GPS, based on independent data from the lidar system, IMU, and aircraft. (3) The raw lidar file was assembled into flight lines per return with each point having an associated x, y, and z coordinate. (4) Visual inspection of swath-to-swath laser point consistencies in the study area were used to perform manual refinements of system alignment. (5) Custom algorithms were designed to evaluate points between adjacent flight lines. Automated system alignment was computed based on randomly selected swath-to-swath accuracy measurements that consider elevation, slope, and intensities. Specifically, refinement in the combination of system pitch, roll, and yaw-offset parameters optimize internal consistency. (6) Noise (e.g., pits and birds) was filtered using ALS post-processing software, based on known elevation ranges, and included the removal of any cycle slips.\n2010, 2011, 2012\n\n\nLidar data points were classified through automated point processing algorithms and manual inspection.
