Abstract:
The highest hit digital surface model (DSM) represent the earth's surface elevation with all vegetation and man-made structures included. It was derived from NIR LiDAR data using the highest hit method. Some elevation values have been interpolated across areas in the ground model where there is no elevation data (e.g. over water). Data was processed in reference to NAD83 (CORS96), however the horizontal datum for this dataset is defined as NAD83 (HARN) as the difference is generally small and allows for greater ease of use with data in different datums. The vertical datum is NAVD88, Geoid 03, and the data is projected in Washington State Plane North. Units are in US Survey Feet. Quantum Spatial collected the PSLC King County Delivery 2 LiDAR data for the Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium between 02/25/16 and 03/28/16.
Purpose:
Provide high resolution surface elevation data from the PSLC King County LiDAR dataset.
Supplemental_Information:
This data is assembled by 1/4th USGS Quadrangle and projected in Washington State Plane North.

Elevation values for open water surfaces should be considered approximate due to the increase of laser noise seen over water, frequent lack of returns, and the overall dynamic nature of water.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Shaded relief images have been visually inspected for data errors such as pits, border artifacts, and shifting. LiDAR flight lines have been examined to ensure consistent elevation values across overlapping flight lines. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of line to line relative accuracy for this dataset is 0.113 ft (0.034 m). Please see the LiDAR data report for a discussion of the statistics related to this dataset.
Completeness_Report:
LiDAR data has been collected and processed for all areas within the project study area.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) of this dataset, tested at 95% confidence level is 0.260 ft (0.079 m). Please see the LiDAR data report for a discussion of the statistics related to this dataset.
Quantitative_Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 0.260 ft (0.079 m)
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy was assessed using 43 ground check points. These check points were not used in the calibration or post processing of the LiDAR point cloud data.

Process_Description:
Acquisition. Quantum Spatial collected the PSLC King County Delivery 2 LiDAR data between 02/25/16 and 03/28/16. The survey used a Leica ALS80 laser system mounted in a Cessna Caravan 208B. Data was collected using a multi pulse flight plan. Ground level GPS and aircraft IMU were collected during the flight.
Leica ALS80 Instrument Parameters (03/08/2016, 03/11/2016, 03/19/2016): Beam diameter: 26 cm, Pulse rate: 400 kHz, Maximum returns: Unlimited, Speed: 145 knots, Overlap: 63 %, Laser power: 93.7 %, Field of view (FOV): 40°, Beam wavelength: 1064 nm, Frequency of GPS sampling: 2 Hz, Frequency of IMU sampling: 200 Hz, Swath width: 874 m, AGL: 1200 m, Average pulse density: 8 ppms

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
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 Waypoint Inertial Explorer and Leica Cloudpro software 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 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 accuracy. 9. The highest hit algorithm was used to create this highest hit DSM.
