<qhorizpa>
<horizpav>1m</horizpav>
<horizpae>Horizontal point accuracy is a function of angular origination of the pulse; IMU orientation; the scanner encoder and ranging function and will vary depending on the proposed point density selected for the collection. Statistically, the error is roughly 1/3 of the illuminated foot print on the ground and is a function of the beam divergences.</horizpae>
</qhorizpa>
</horizpa>
<vertacc>
<vertaccr>The vertical accuracy is based on the Sanborn independent collection of 68 FEMA checkpoints (BE, Low Veg, and HIgh veg) survey points distributed throughout the project.  The fundamental vertical accuracy at 95 percent confidence level in open terrain tested 0.16 feet or 4.88 centimeters.</vertaccr>
<qvertpa>
<vertaccv>0.16 feet</vertaccv>
<vertacce>Based on the vertical accuracy testing conducted by Sanborn using NSSDA and FEMA methodology, vertical accuracy at the 95% confidence level (called Accuracyz) is computed by the formula RMSEz x 1.9600.   The fundamental vertical accuracy at 95 percent confidence level ifor all classification combined tested 0.20 feet or 6.09 centimeters.</vertacce>

<procdesc>The ABGPS, IMU, and raw Optech LiDAR data are integrated into the post processor software. The resultant file is in a LAS binary file format. The LAS file version 1.1 formats can be easily transferred from one file format to another.  It is a binary file format that maintains information specific to the LiDAR data (return#, intensity value, xyz, etc.). The resultant points are produced in the geodetic coordinates referenced to the NAD83 horizontal datum and GRS80 vertical datum.  The date and time for each flight line can be determined using the Julian date and time.  The Julian date is a continuous count of days and fractions since noon Universal Time on January 1, 4713 BCE on the Julian calendar.</procdesc>

<procdesc>The unedited data are classified to facilitate the application of the appropriate feature extraction filters. A combination of proprietary filters is applied as appropriate for the production of bare earth digital terrain models (dtms).  Interactive editing methods are applied to those areas where it is inappropriate or impossible to use the feature extraction filters, based upon the design criteria and/or limitations of the relevant filters. These same feature extraction filters are used to produce elevation height surfaces. The LiDAR mass points were delivered in American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing LAS 1.1 format.  The header file for each dataset is complete as define by the LAS 1.1 specification.  In addition the following fields are included:  Flight Date Julian, Year, and Class.  The LAS files do not include overlap.  The data was classified as follows: Class 1 = Unclassified.  This class includes vegetation, buildings, noise etc. Class 2 = Ground; Class 7 = Low Points; Class 12 = Overlap.</procdesc>
