      <abstract>LIDAR-derived binary (.las) files ASPRS ver 1.4 format containing classified points of all returns. We have 11 classifications Unclassified, Ground, Low Veg, Medium Veg, High Veg, Buildings, Low Noise, Water, Ignore Ground, Bridge Decks and High Noise. Model key points are bit-flagged and created from ground (class = 2) points using a two foot horizontal and a 0.2 foot vertical variance. The files are delivered in section formatted tiles. These files adhere to the National Enhanced Elevation Assessment (NEEA) Quality Level 2 (QL2) standards. The contractual aggregate nominal pulse spacing (ANPS) is less than or equal to 0.5m. The contractual aggregate nominal point density (ANPD) is 4.0 points or greater per square meter.</abstract>
      <purpose>U18049 - Acquisition and processing of high fidelity Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for Boone County commencing in the Spring of 2018. Boone County is approximately 303 square miles. Services include LiDAR acquisition; ground control survey; LiDAR post-processing; LiDAR classification; hydro-flattening; QA/QC, and; development of derivative deliverable products (including metadata and reporting).</purpose>

        <procdesc>Classifed lidar:
LIDAR data was collected using the Optech Galaxy sensor. The raw data was verified in MARS software for complete coverage of the project area, and boresighted to align the flightlines. Raw data files were parsed into manageable client-specific tiles. These tiles were then processed through automated filtering that separates the data into different classification groups: unclassified points, ground points, low veg, medium veg, high veg, buildings, low noise, water, ignored ground, bridge decks and high noise. The data was next taken into MARS to reclassify the erroneous points that may remain in the LIDAR point cloud after auto filter. Four points or greater per square meter (QL2) ASPRS ver 1.4 format.</procdesc>

Using MARS software hydro-flattened breaklines (rivers greater than 100 feet wide and waterbodies greater than two square acres and islands greater than one acre) were compiled. Additionally breaklines were placed underneath bridges and on waterfalls where necessary. MARS software using Intensity values and 3d elevations generates ESRI shape files which are then imported into an ESRI gdb for a project wide delivery. Monotonicity checks where validated (water flowing downstream).</procdesc>
