Resource Abstract:
- description: Geographic Extent: North Carolina Area of Interest for Sandy, covering approximately 9,396 square miles. Dataset
Description: The North Carolina - Sandy LiDAR project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products
of LIDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meter. Project specifications are based on the U.S.
Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base LIDAR Specification, Version 1. The data was developed based on a horizontal
projection/datum of North Carolina State Plane Coordinate System, NAD83, survey feet and vertical datum of NAVD1988 (GEOID12A),
survey feet (later changed to vertical meters). LiDAR data was delivered in RAW flight line swath format, processed to create
Classified LAS 1.3 Files formatted to 12138 individual 5000ft x 5000ft tiles, and corresponding Intensity Images and Bare
Earth DEMs tiled to the same 5000ft x 5000ft schema, and Breaklines in ESRI File-Geodatabase format. Ground Conditions: LiDAR
was collected in Spring 2014, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post
process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications, Photo Science established a total of 282 QA control points and 161
Land Cover control points that were used to calibrate the LIDAR to known ground locations established throughout the North
Carolina - Sandy project area. Data was collected under USGS Contract: G10PC00026 Task Order Number: G14PD00182 and originally
had a title of "Lidar data for North Carolina - SANDY 2014". The title was modified to avoid conflict with other
phases of the North Carolina collection conducted by the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program (NCFMP). This data was
funded jointly by USGS and NCFMP.; abstract: Geographic Extent: North Carolina Area of Interest for Sandy, covering approximately
