        <procdesc>LIDAR data was collected using Merrick's ALS50 Phase 2 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 10 different classification groups  The data was next taken into MARS to reclassify the erroneous points that may remain in the LIDAR point cloud after auto filter.</procdesc>
