<descript>
<abstract>This Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data was produced all or in part from LiDAR information as of 2012. The LiDAR derived DTM covers Douglas County, Illinois and include inland streams, rivers, lakes ponds and tidal features. These data are appropriate for use in local and regional analysis. This data set has a vertical accuracy of 5.12 centimeters RMSEz, horizontal accuracy of 0.3 meters and point spacing of 1.0 meters.Digital Elevation Models (including terrain and surface models) are raster data sets created from whole LiDAR point cloud data sets (LAS files). The LAS files are the standard LiDAR file format which contains the raw point cloud data, these data are normally classified and distinguished between points on the ground, water or elevated features such as buildings, trees, towers, bridges, etc.. These LAS files are processed into elevation models to create gridded rasters. The first returns can be used to map the top reflective surface (Digital Surface Models - DSM), these normally include open terrain areas, as well as the tops of buildings, trees, towers, and other features elevated above the bare earth. The last returns are used to map the bare-earth terrain (Digital Terrain Models - DTM), these are normally produced with irregularly-spaced points rather than the uniform grid structure of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Digital Terrain Models will often include breaklines to help define edges of water bodies.</abstract>
<purpose>These acquisitions of the LiDAR data and its derivatives were made possible by a grant from the National Geodetic Survey for the National Height Modernization Program. The program is in place to enable states access to accurate, reliable heights using global positioning satellite (GPS) technology in conjunction with traditional leveling, gravity, and modern remote sensing technologies. LiDAR data and its derivatives assist in real-world uses around the state of Illinois such as; highway engineering, flood prediction, agricultural land management, mining subsidence, monitoring archaeological features, locating sinkholes and applied geologic science.
The data do not replace the need for detailed site-specific studies. The information is not appropriate for, and is not to be used as, a geodetic, legal, or engineering base. The information has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor.</purpose>

<attracc>
<attraccr>Project data was collected as one project including all counties of Illinois District 5.
LiDAR data was placed into a tile layout and later divided by county boundaries.
</attraccr>
</attracc>
<logic>All data have had QAQC visual and statistical testing using observations performed to compare the derivative products (breaklines, classified LAS, DEM and DSM/DTM) as well as aerial photography to check for the logical consistency of the data.</logic>
<posacc>
<horizpa>
<horizpar>All data were acquired at or below 1600 meters above mean terrain (AMT) and have a
horizontal accuracy of 0.30 meters (per manufacturers system specifications), with a
nominal point spacing of 1.0 meters.</horizpar>
</horizpa>
<vertacc>
<vertaccr>The vertical accuracy of the data has a requirement to achieve a Fundamental Vertical
Accuracy (FVA) of 1.19 ft at 95% confidence level based on an RSMEz x 1.960 in "open
terrain" as defined by National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed
and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines.
Further, the data requires a Consolidated Vertical Accuracy (CVA) of 1.19 ft at 95th
Percentile and a target value for Supplemental Vertical Accuracy (SVA) of 1.19 ft at 95th
Percentile.
The ground survey data for District 5 is not available. Vertical assessment of the LiDAR
data will evaluated at a later date and this metadata will be released in final form.</vertaccr>
</vertacc>
</posacc>
<lineage>
<procstep>
<procdesc>The LiDAR data was acquired using AeroMetric's or a vendor's twin engine fixed wing
aircraft equipped with LiDAR systems. The LiDAR systems include a differential GPS
unit and inertial measurement system to provide superior accuracy.
Acquisition parameters:
1. Flight Height - 1600 meters above mean terrain (AMT)
2. Swath Width - 40 degrees
3. Sidelap - 50%
4. Nominal Post Spacing - 1.0 meters
GPS and IMU processing parameters:
1. Maximum baseline length - Not greater than 100 kilometers.
2. Number of base stations during LiDAR collection - A minimum of 1.
3. Maximum positional RMS of trajectory during LiDAR collection - 0.10 meters
4. IMU processing monitored for consistency and smoothness - Yes.
Point Cloud Processing:
1. Horizontal Datum - North American_1983/HARN
2. Horizontal Coordinates - NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Illinois East FIPS 1201 in feet.
3. Vertical Datum - North American Vertical Datum of 1988
4. Geoid Model used to reduce satellite derived elevations to orthometric heights - NGS
Geoid09.
LiDAR Processing:
1. Point Cloud data is imported to TerraScan in a Microstation V8 (V) CAD environment
on a specified 2000 feet by 2000 feet tiling scheme.
2. Analyze the data for overall completeness and consistency. This is to ensure that there
are no voids in the data collection.
3. Inspect for calibration errors in the dataset using the TerraMatch software by sampling
the data collected across all flight lines and classifying the individual lines to ground. The
software will use the ground-classified lines to compute corrections (Heading, Pitch,
Roll, and Scale).
4. Orientation corrections (i.e. Calibration corrections) are then applied (if needed) to the
entire dataset.
5. Automatic ground classification is performed using algorithms with customized
parameters to best fit the project area. Several areas of varying relief and planimetric
features were inspected to verify the final ground surface.
6. AeroMetric, Inc. performed Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) for this
project by comparing field observed points in 'open terrain' land cover category to
LiDAR data set points. TerraScan's Output Control Report (OCR) was used to compare
the QA/QC data to the LiDAR data. This routine searches the LiDAR dataset by X and Y
coordinates finding the closest LiDAR point and comparing the vertical (Z) values to the
known data collected in the field. Based on the QA/QC data, a bias adjustment was
determined, and the results were applied (if necessary) to the LiDAR data.
7. After the LiDAR data is finalized for vertical placement, a macro is run via TerraScan
to output a dataset generated on a per swath basis as part of the final deliverables. All
points of the swath are reclassified to class 0 during this step.
8. Each tile is reviewed for accuracy and consistency of the macro ground classification.
During this phase, MicroStation is used to generate line work representing water bodies
and rivers. Separate line work is also placed in instances where overpasses have blocked
enough valid ground returns or water gave too few ground returns to reasonably portray
the ground surface. A proprietary in-house software program is then run to drape the river
line work in a flowing fashion. Contours are generated on the river breaklines to review
monotonicity of the draped line work.
9. Once the automatic processing and the testing of LiDAR is complete, AeroMetric
meticulously reviews the generated bare-earth surface data to ensure that proper
classification was achieved as part of a Quality Control process. Point classification
follows the standard established by The American Society for Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing (ASPRS) for LAS data:
Code 1 Processed, but unclassified / non-ground
Code 2 Ground
Code 7 Noise / Low Points
Code 9 Water
Code 10 Ignored Ground (Breakline proximity)
10. Final deliverables are generated and output to a client specified 2000 feet by 2000
feet tiling scheme.
11. On a per tile basis, data files and Triangulated Integrated Network (TIN) files are
generated by processing the finalized line work along with bare earth LiDAR points
through a Geopak macro. Subsequent files are reviewed for adherence and completeness
to the data and tile layout used during the creation process.
ISGS Secondary Processing:
1. Thorough QAQC check was completed to ensure and evaluate the quality of the data delivered and that all the specifications have been met in accordance to the contract and national specifications set for LiDAR data.
2. Through ArcGIS 10.1 the following steps were completed to created Terrain and hillshade products:
a. LAS to Mulitpoint conversion using 3D analyst tools.ASPRS Classifications were used below:
1-Unclassified
2-Ground
3-Low Vegetation
4-Medium Vegetation
5-High Vegetation
6-Building
8-Model Key Points
9-Water
b. Terrains are then created and pyramids are calculated.
c. Terrain to Raster tool was used in 3D Analyst. The parameters of data type float, natural neighbors method, sampling distance is cell size and the point spaceing value from the LiDAR data.
d. Hillshades are created from the above rasters with a Z value of 2.
3. These derivatives were checked again visually for errors. If any errors were perceived corrections were coordinated with vendor and products were updated with corrections.
4. When product was finalized then metadata was completed before making data available.</procdesc>

<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data was produced all or in part from LiDAR information as of 2012. The LiDAR derived DTM covers Douglas County, Illinois and include inland streams, rivers, lakes ponds and tidal features. These data are appropriate for use in local and regional analysis. This data set has a vertical accuracy of 5.12 centimeters RMSEz, horizontal accuracy of 0.3 meters and point spacing of 1.0 meters.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Digital Elevation Models (including terrain and surface models) are raster data sets created from whole LiDAR point cloud data sets (LAS files). The LAS files are the standard LiDAR file format which contains the raw point cloud data, these data are normally classified and distinguished between points on the ground, water or elevated features such as buildings, trees, towers, bridges, etc.. These LAS files are processed into elevation models to create gridded rasters. The first returns can be used to map the top reflective surface (Digital Surface Models - DSM), these normally include open terrain areas, as well as the tops of buildings, trees, towers, and other features elevated above the bare earth. The last returns are used to map the bare-earth terrain (Digital Terrain Models - DTM), these are normally produced with irregularly-spaced points rather than the uniform grid structure of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Digital Terrain Models will often include breaklines to help define edges of water bodies.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
