1 LiDAR Quality Assessment Report The USGS National Geospatial Technical Operations Center, Data Operations Branch is responsible for conducting reviews of all Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) pointcloud data and derived products delivered by a data supplier before it is approved for inclusion in the National Elevation Dataset and the Center for LiDAR Information Coordination and Knowledge. The USGS recognizes the complexity of LiDAR collection and processing performed by the data suppliers and has developed this Quality Assessment (QA) procedure to accommodate USGS collection and processing specifications with flexibility. The goal of this process is to assure LiDAR data are of sufficient quality for database population and scientific analysis. Concerns regarding the assessment of these data should be directed to the Chief, Data Operations Branch, 1400 Independence Road, Rolla, Missouri or NGTOCoperations@usgs.gov. Materials Received: 2/20/2013 Project ID: IL_RiverFP_2009 Project Alias(es): MISSISSIPPI RIVER / ILLINOIS WATER... Project Type: Partnership Project Description: This contract produced modified FEMA grade LIDAR as an extension of the existing work with the State of Iowa and USGS. This processed LIDAR has the potential to support a two foot contour. The deliverables include bareearth processed LIDAR data for bluff to bluff coverage of the River valleys. This data will primarily be used for watershed modeling, storm water planning, floodplain determination, and structure design and estimation. Additional uses for this data by other agencies include roadway design, wetland restoration, and conservation practice design, placement, and estimating. The LIDAR acquisition was scheduled to occur during the fall or early winter of Leaf-off conditions were required, and minimal snow coverage would be allowed (not to exceed a dusting of one inch or less). Due to extreme weather conditions through the duration of the task order, the original schedule was extended into 2011 in order to acquire LiDAR data within specification. As a result of the extended schedule, temporal changes may affect LiDAR data continuity. 1 QA Form V1.1 24AUG11
2 Task Orders 18 & 21 were combined to take advantage of an acquisition opportunity, as the counties were overlapping the flood plain. The LiDAR data was flown and calibrated as one contiguous project area, and survey data was collected to support the area as a single entity. Year of Collection: 12/16/2009 to 12/28/2011 Lot 1 of 1 lots. Project Extent: Project Extent image? 2 QA Form V1.1 24AUG11

9 Project QA/QC Report Review ASPRS recommends that checkpoint surveys be used to verify the vertical accuracy of LiDAR data sets. Checkpoints are to be collected by an independent survey firm licensed in the particular state(s) where the project is located. While subjective, checkpoints should be well distributed throughout the dataset. National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) guidance states that checkpoints may be distributed more densely in the vicinity of important features and more sparsely in areas that are of little or no interest. Checkpoints should be distributed so that points are spaced at intervals of at least ten percent of the diagonal distance across the dataset and at least twenty percent of the points are located in each quadrant of the dataset. NSSDA and ASPRS require that a minimum of twenty checkpoints (thirty is preferred) are collected for each major land cover category represented in the LiDAR data. Checkpoints should be selected on flat terrain, or on uniformly sloping terrain in all directions from each checkpoint. They should not be selected near severe breaks in slope, such as bridge abutments, edges of roads, or near river bluffs. Checkpoints are an important component of the USGS QA process. There is the presumption that the checkpoint surveys are error free and the discrepancies are attributable to the LiDAR dataset supplied. For this dataset, USGS checked the spatial distribution of checkpoints with an emphasis on the bare-earth (open terrain) points; the number of points per class; the methodology used to collect these points; and the relationship between the data supplier and checkpoint collector. When independent control data are available, USGS has incorporated this into the analysis. Checkpoint Shapefile or Geodatabase: Checkpoint Distribution Image? 9 QA Form V1.1 24AUG11

11 The following land cover classes are represented in this dataset (uncheck any that do not apply): Bare Earth Tall Weeds and Crops Brush Lands and Low Trees Forested Areas Fully Covered by Trees Urban Areas with Dense Man-Made Structures There are a minimum of 20 checkpoints for each land cover class represented. Points within each class are uniformly distributed throughout the dataset. USGS wasable to locate independent checkpoints for this analysis. USGS acceptsthe quality of the checkpoint data for these LiDAR datasets. Errors, Anomalies, Other Issues to document? nmlkji Yes nmlkj No gfedc Image? Did not report Accuracy values for Bare Earth DEMs. Accuracy values reported were for the classified LAS only. USGS ran an accuracy test on Bare Earth DEM values and the results are listed below. Accuracy values are reported in terms of Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (FVA), Supplemental Vertical Accuracy(s) (SVA), and Consolidated Vertical Accuracy (CVA). Accuracy values are reported in: Meters Required FVA Value is Meters or less. Target SVA Value is 0.37 Meters or less. Required CVA Value is 0.37 Meters or less. The reported FVA of the LAS Swath data is Not Reported Meters. The reported FVA of the Bare-Earth DEM data is Not Reported Meters. 11 QA Form V1.1 24AUG11

Not Reported Meters The reported CVA of this data set is: Not Reported Meters. LAS Tile File Review Classified LAS tile files are used to build digital terrain models using the points classified as ground. Therefore, it is important that the classified LAS are of sufficient quality to ensure that the derivative product accurately represents the landscape that was measured. The following was determined for classified LAS files for this project: Classified LAS Tile File Characteristics Separate folder for Classified LAS tile files Classified LAS tile files conform to Project Tiling Scheme gfedc Quantity of Classified LAS tile files conforms to Project Tiling Scheme Classified LAS tile files do not overlap Classified LAS tile files are uniform in size gfedc Classified LAS tile files have no points classified as '12' gfedc gfedc Point classifications are limited to the standard values listed below: Code 1 Processed, but unclassified 2 Bare-earth ground Description 7 Noise (low or high, manually identified, if needed) 9 Water 10 Ignored ground (breakline proximity) 11 Withheld (if the Withheld bit is not implemented in processing software) Buy up? Based on this review, the USGS does not accept at this time the classified LAS tile file data. Errors, Anomalies, Other Issues to document? nmlkji Yes nmlkj No 12 QA Form V1.1 24AUG11
13 gfedc Image? There are 32 Classifications of the Point Cloud (Classification Numbers 0 through 31.) A large majority of the points are in Classes 1,2,4,7,9, and 12. The other classes have very few points. 20 Classes have 10 or less points and 5 Classes have 44 or less points. Also, a high percentage of points are not classified ASPRS standards. For example; many Class 4 points, which are supposed to be medium vegetation, are in or near the river. One cluster of Class 4 points at the rivers edge are obviously barges, another cluster near the river appears to be structures. Class 12 is not supposed to be used, but in this data, Class 12 is overlap points, one of the more populated Classes. Bare-Earth DEM Tile File Review The derived bare-earth DEM file receives a review of the vertical accuracies provided by the data supplier, vertical accuracies calculated by USGS using supplied and independent checkpoints, and a manual check of the appearance of the DEM layer. Bare-Earth DEM files provided in the following format: ArcGrid Bare-Earth DEM Tile File Characteristics Separate folder for bare-earth DEM files DEM files conform to Project Tiling Scheme Quantity of DEM files conforms to Project Tiling Scheme DEM files do not overlap DEM files are uniform in size DEM files properly edge match gfedc Independent check points are well distributed 13 QA Form V1.1 24AUG11

The processed data did not extend beyond the project boundaries anywhere. USGS Specifications require a 100m extension past the project boundary. 3. The Project Description defines the project area as "bluff to bluff coverage of the River valleys. This data will primarily be used for watershed modeling, storm water planning, floodplain determination, and structure design and estimation." However, the project as delivered, occasionally places the project boundary in the river channel and in many other places the boundary does not extend to the bluffs. Making it of little, limited, or no use for its stated primary purposes. 46 QA Form V1.1 24AUG11
