Abstract:
This dataset represents portions of the Chehalis River Watershed in Greys Harbor, Thurston, Lewis, & Cowlitz counties, WA. The highest hit digital surface models (DSM) represent the earth's surface with all vegetation and human-made structures included. The highest hit DSMs were derived from LiDAR data using the highest hit method. The DSM grid cell size is 3 feet. The elevation units are in US suvey Feet. Some elevation values have been interpolated across areas in the ground model where there is no elevation data (e.g. over water, under dense vegetation). WSI collected the LiDAR and created this data set for the Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium, Federal Emergency Management Agency Region X, Washington Department of Natural Resources and Lewis County on 1/28/12-02/07/12, 03/04/12-03/09/12, 04/07/12.
Purpose:
Provide high resolution terrain elevation and land cover elevation data.
Supplemental_Information:
This data is assembled by 1/4th USGS Quads and projected into Washington State Plane South, FIPS 4602, US Survey Feet.

Use_Constraints:
In some areas of heavy vegetation or forest cover, there may be relatively few ground points in the LiDAR data. TINing the points produces large triangles and hence the elevations may be less accurate within such areas. Elevation values for open water surfaces are not valid elevation values because few LiDAR points are returned from water surfaces. Triangles were created across water surfaces by interpolating from the nearest land points.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
LiDAR flight lines have been examined to ensure that there was at least 60% sidelap, there are no gaps between flightlines, and overlapping flightlines have consistent elevation values. Shaded relief images have been visually inspected for data errors such as pits, border artifacts, gaps, and shifting. The data was examined at a 1:2000 scale.
Completeness_Report:
LiDAR data has been collected and processed for all areas within the project study area.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of the data set is 0.028 meters (0.092 feet). Accuracy was assessed using 4331 ground survey RTK (real time kinematic) points. Please see LiDAR data report for a discussion of statistics related to these datasets.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Acquisition. The LiDAR data was collected January 28th-February 7th, March 4th-March 9th, march 21st-March 23rd, and April 7th, 2012. The survey used both Leica ALS 60 and Optech Orion laser systems mounted in a Cessna Caravan 208B. 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.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Processing. 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 within 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 upon 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 postprocessing software, based on known elevation ranges and included the removal of any cycle slips. 7. Using TerraScan and Microstation, ground classifications utilized custom settings appropriate to the study area. 8. The corrected and filtered return points were compared to the RTK ground survey points collected to verify the vertical and horizontal accuracies. 9. Points were output as laser points, TINed and GRIDed surfaces. 10. The Highest Hit Algorithm was used to create a highest hit DEM.
