4 Data product specifications: Swift Current LiDAR Project Overview 1.1. Informal description McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd (MCSL) has performed a LiDAR and Imagery survey in southern Saskatchewan. The purpose was to generate DEMs for hydraulic modeling of floodplain, digital terrain maps, and other products for portions of the Swift Current Creek valley and other miscellaneous tributaries and related water course valleys in and around the City of Swift Current. The acquisition was completed between the 16th and 25th of October, The survey consisted of approximately 790 square kilometers of coverage. While collecting the LiDAR data, McElhanney also acquired aerial photos in RGB and NIR modes consisting of 1649 frames each. In addition to the main area of interest, McElhanney has acquired LiDAR data and photos of low lying areas adjacent to the project area. This additional area was acquired on speculation that the data may be required in the future Data product specification - metadata This section provides metadata about the creation of this data product specification Data product specification title: Swift Current LiDAR Project 2009 Data product specification - reference date: Data product specification - responsible party: Data product specification language: Data product specification - topic category: June 6 th, 2013 STB english elevation, imagery 1.3. Terms and definitions Feature attribute characteristic of a feature Page 4 of 12 Class description of a set of objects that share the same attributes, operations, methods, relationships, and semantics [UML Semantics] NOTE: A class does not always have an associated geometry (e.g. the metadata class). Feature abstraction of real world phenomena Object entity with a well-defined boundary and identity that encapsulates state and behaviour [UML Semantics] NOTE: An object is an instance of a class. Package grouping of a set of classes, relationships, and even other packages with a view to

5 organizing the model into more abstract structures 1.4. Abbreviations AAFC Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 2. SPECIFICATION SCOPE This data specification has only one scope, the general scope. NOTE: The term specification scope originates from the International Standard ISO Specification scope does not express the purpose for the creation of a data specification or the potential use of data, but identifies partitions of the data specification where specific requirements apply.

Data series Identification Swift Current LiDAR Project 2009 Title Swift Current LiDAR Project 2009 Alternate Title Abstract Purpose Topic Category McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd (MCSL) has performed a LiDAR and Imagery survey in southern Saskatchewan. The purpose was to generate DEMs for hydraulic modeling of floodplain, digital terrain maps, and other products for portions of the Swift Current Creek valley and other miscellaneous tributaries and related water course valleys in and around the City of Swift Current. The acquisition was completed between the 16th and 25th of October, The survey consisted of approximately 790 square kilometers of coverage. While collecting the LiDAR data, we also acquired aerial photo in RGB and NIR modes consisting of 1649 frames each. In addition to the main area of interest, McElhanney has acquired some LiDAR and photo of low lying areas adjacent to the project area. This additional area was acquired on speculation that the data may be required in the future. The 3Dimensional laser returns (point cloud) were classified using Microstation (v8), Terrascan and TerraModeler. A series of algorithms based on topography were created to separate laser returns that hit the ground from the ones that hit objects above the ground. Steps taken are: Classified LiDAR surface as Bare earth, Classified other features as non-bare earth or default, Formatted to ASPRS.LAS V1.1 (Class 1 - Default (non-bare earth), Class 2 Ground points (bare earth)), 239 tiles each 2km x2km generated for LiDAR data, File prefix FF Classified (Non-Bare Earth and Bare Earth), File Prefix BE Bare Earth only, Bare Earth Model Key Point (MKPts) surface files are thinned Bare earth LiDAR points. MKPts files generate a virtually identical surface without the large file size, MKPts file format is ASCII (Easting Northing Z-elevation) xyz and LAS format.

Lineage statement Lineage Statement Data was captured by McElhanney Consulting Services between October 16 th and 25 th The data was also processed and georeferenced by the company. Mosaicking derived products provided by the contractor revealed a 50 centimeter gap between tiles making it unusable for modeling and analysis. Therefore, LiDAR point files were processed by AAFC staff to create seamless DEM, Hillshade, and Contour products.
