LiDAR data was captured at a 1.4 meter point spacing at 2400 meters AGL. The entire flight acquisition was completed from January 2012 to April 2012. Keystone Aerial Surveys 20120525 External Hard Drive 20120117 20120130 Ground Condition Keystone Aerial LiDAR Acquisition Keystone Aerial Surveys collected LiDAR data using a Cessna C320 twin engine fixed-wing aircraft with an Optech Gemini LiDAR system in Area 3, Kansas. LiDAR data was captured at a 1.4 meter point spacing at 2400 meters AGL. The entire flight acquisition was completed from January 17, 2012 to January 30, 2012. Aero-Metric, Inc. 20120525 electronic mail system 20120124 20120421 Ground Condition Ground Control AeroMetric established ground control for Area 3 in Kansas. GPS was used to establish the control network. The horizontal datum was North American Datum of 1983 / High Accuracy Reference Network (NAD 83/HARN). The vertical datum was the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The LiDAR data was captured using a twin engine fixed wing aircraft equipped with an Optech ALTM Gemini LiDAR system or a Leica ALS70 LiDAR system. This system consists of Airborne Global Position System (ABGPS), inertial measurement unit (IMU), and raw laser scans. The ABGPS collects XYZ coordinates of the laser sensor and the IMU calibrates the orientation of the aircraft. During flight, laser pulses are reflected from features on the surface and system collects this data. The acquired LiDAR data went through a preliminary review to assure that complete coverage was obtained and to ensure that there were no data gaps. Once the data is received in the office, data is run through a complete iteration of processing to make sure data is complete, uncorrupted, and there are no data voids between flight lines. The Acquisition parameters for the Kansas Area 3: Flying Height - 2400 meters above ground level (AGL), Swath Width - 38 degrees, Sidelap - 50 percent, and the Nominal Point Spacing - 1.4 meters The essential three (3) steps in processing of LiDAR: 1) GPS/IMU Processing - Airborne GPS and IMU data is processed by using base stations. In lieu of base stations, a new sophisticated processing software created by TerraTec called TerraPOS was utilized. TerraPOS is able to create a solution which permits GPS processing without the use of GPS base stations. TerraPOS provides statistical accuracy to evaluate the integrity of the GPS solution. The GPS solution is incorporated with the IMU which will result in a final trajectory. This ensures the integrity of all the mission data. The results were also used to perform the initial LiDAR system calibration test. 2) Raw LiDAR Data Processing - Analysts process the raw data to LAS format to a full resolution output. A starting configuration file was used in the process, which contains the latest calibration parameters for the sensor. The analyst generates the flight line trajectories for each flight line during this process. 3) Verification of Coverage and Data Quality - Analysts check swath flight line data to ensure completeness of acquisition for the flight lines, calibration lines, and cross flight lines. Intensity images are generated for the entire lift at the required post spacing for the project. The analyst will visually check the intensity image against the project boundary to ensure full coverage and thoroughly reviews data for any gaps. The analyst will generate a few sample TIN surfaces to ensure no anomalies were present in the data. Any turbulence that affects the quality of data, the flight line was rejected causing the data to be reflown. The analyst will also evaluate the achieved post spacing against the project specified post spacing.

The following steps describe the Raw Data Processing and Boresight process: 1) The analyst processed the raw data set to LAS format flight lines using the final GPS/IMU solution. This LAS data set was used as a source data for the boresight. 2) The analyst first uses TerraMatch and TerraScan software with the MicroStation Interface to calculate initial boresight adjustment angles based on sample areas. These sample areas cover the calibration flight lines, cross lines, and production flight lines. These areas are well distributed in the lift coverage and cover multiple terrain types that will result in a boresight angle calculation. The boresight angle calculations are computed for heading, pitch, roll, and scale. 3) Once the boresight angle calculations are satisfactory to the analyst, the adjusted settings are applied to all flightlines for that lift. The analyst will then match the lift to overlapping lifts in a systemic approach until the results meet the product specifications. 4) Once the boresight adjustment is complete for each lift individually, the analyst performs a vertical alignment of all the flightlines in the project. 5) The LiDAR points are compared to the surveyed ground control points and the dataset is adjusted to remove any bias in the dataset. This result was compared against the project specified accuracy to make sure it meets the project requirements.

AeroMetric has developed a unique method for processing LiDAR data to identify and re-class elevation points falling on vegetation, buildings, and other above ground structures into separate layers. This is created by utilizing the TerraScan software with MicroStation for automatic filtering. The parameters used are customized for each terrain type to obtain optimal results. If the filtering was too aggressive and important terrain features were filtered out, the data will be run through a different filter or corrected during the manual editing phase. Technicians perform manual editing by using 3D visualization software called TerraModeler which provides manual and automatic point classification tools. Vegetation and other artifacts remaining after the automatic data post-processing were reclassified by manual edit techniques. Any hard edge of ground features that were automatically filtered out are brought back into ground class by manual editing. Additional auto-filtering may be used on fenced areas to help with efficiency during this manual edit process. The technician reviewed the LiDAR points with color shaded TINs for determining any anomalies in the ground class. All tiles are reviewed by a quality control (QC) process to verify correct classification of points. The timestamps for all points stored are based on the GPS Weekly time format, so AeroMetric created software to convert the timestamps to GPS Absolute time. The data collection date and current GPS time stamp are used in calculating Absolute Time. The LiDAR classified point cloud is packaged into NAD83/HARN, UTM zone 15 North, meters; NAVD88 meters, using the Geiod09 for delivery. The classified point cloud was delivered in LAS 1.2 format with the following classes: 1 Unclassed, 2 Bare-Earth, 7 Noise, 9 Water, 10 Ignored Ground, 11 Withheld, 17 Overlap - unclassified, 18 Overlap - Bare-Earth, 23 Overlap - noise, 24 Overlap - water, and 25 Overlap - Ignored Ground.

The project specification requires 3/4 acre lakes and rivers with a nominal width of 50 feet or greater. The water surface is delineated at or below the immediately surrounding terrain. AeroMetric uses proprietary software so that water flow is monotonic. The primary function of breaklines is to supplement and constrain the ground surface when modeled as a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN). Water breaklines that are delineated will continue through bridges and will terminate at culvert locations. If a culvert or bridge can not accurately be determined, it is assumed to be a culvert. Breaklines are also used near bridges and other man-made structures so that triangulation is minimized and to represent linear grade breaks. Breaklines enforce hydro-flattening and are used for point reclassification from ground to water. The line work is then used as a centerline for point reclassification from ground to ignored ground; ignored ground is used to alleviate triangulation issues into water features. AeroMetric utilizes the TerraScan software in MicroStation in conjunction with hydro-flattening breaklines to produce bare earth DEMs in a text format. Aerometric then reviews the DEMs for voids, hydro-flattening completeness, and any other anomalies present. A proprietary software batch converts the DEMs into an ARCGIS recognized format. These files are then processed through ARC to create an IMG in NAD83/HARN, UTM zone 15 North, meters; NAVD88 meters, using the Geiod09 for delivery. 20120801 Bare Earth DEM creation AeroMetric Rob Merry Project Manager mailing and physical
