      <abstract>TASK NAME: NCEM NC 6 Counties Lidar
lidar Data Acquisition and Processing Production Task
Contract No. 286-000026
Woolpert Order No. 075085
CONTRACTOR: Woolpert, Inc.
This is a preliminary metadata file. This data set is comprised of lidar point cloud data, hydrologic 3-d breaklines, raster intensity, survey control, project tile index, and project data extent which encompasses approximately 3,059 square miles of lidar, for the AOI in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. Lidar data is a remotely sensed high resolution elevation data collected by an airborne platform. The lidar sensor uses a combination of laser range finding, GPS positioning, and inertial measurement technologies. The lidar systems collect data point clouds that are used to produce highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures, and vegetation. The task required the LiDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7m. The final products include files containing classified LAS, and 8-bit intensity images. Each LAS file contains lidar point information, which has been calibrated, controlled, and classified. Additional deliverables include hydrologic breakline data, control data, tile index, lidar processing and survey reports in PDF format, FGDC metadata files for each data deliverable in .xml format, Ground conditions: Woolpert used professional practice in determining any open water meeting the task order size requirement; no unusual inundation; no snow; leaf off.
