Abstract:
Horizons, Inc. was contracted by the Bureau of Reclamation to provide accurate digital elevation and orthophotogrammetric data. The project encompassed an area of approximately 20 square miles. The photogrammetric process began with black and white aerial photography obtained by subcontractor Walker & Associates of Seattle, Washington on October 23, 2002 at 1:12000 photo scale utilizing airborne GPS control. LiDAR acquisition was performed by Horizons, Inc. on October 30, 2002 at 6000' AMT. The Cessna 310 was equipped with an LH System ALS40 LiDAR system including an inertial measuring unit (IMU) and a dual frequency airborne GPS receiver. LiDAR data was collected with 2 meter nominal post spacing and +/- 15 cm vertical accuracy. Ground control survey was provided by the Bureau of Reclamation. The original black and white film was scanned at 14 microns. Aerotriangulation of the photography was performed utilizing Albany Aerotriangulation Software. A final AT Report summarizing adjustments was produced and AT solutions for the controlled photography were provided in Z/I software compatible file format. LiDAR data was processed to create an elevation model and orthophoto production. LiDAR data processing included removal of points on vegetation and buildings. LiDAR data sets produced included raw/multiple return, first return only, processed (bare earth) and 2 meter grid of the bare earth. A LiDAR Report summarizing processing procedures was produced. Digital orthophotography with 0.2m pixel resolution TIFF format was produced.
Purpose: For the intended use of Bureau of Reclamation
Supplemental_Information:
This metadata document is intended to encompass the entire mapping area. Bounding coordinates are for all 18, while row and column counts refer to each individual orthophoto.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The airborne GPS data was processed as a kinematic survey, using both forward and reverse processing techniques. The IMU data was processed using POSProc software provided by Applanix Corporation. The X, Y, Z, omega, phi, and kappa for each photograph were calculated and the final adjustment of this block was solved using Erio Technologies ALBANY software(ALBANY is a simultaneous least squares bundle adjustment).

Quality Control Procedure Scanner:Intergraph PhotoScan TD Photo Digitizing System. Scanner Geometric Calibration:Standard Deviation(sigma)=1.6710356970 Root Mean Square X=1.9970393211 Root Mean Square Y=0.9624905604 Scanner setting: Transmissivity: 0.0151 0.6610 Film Density: 1.8210 0.1778 Gamma: 1.75 Film was kept in airtight containers prior to scanning. Both the base and emulsion sides of the film were cleaned using a tacky roller system prior to scanning. Color adjustment was achieved by visually matching the tone, contrast, and brightness to the original film. Each scanned image was checked computationally for missing data. Quality Control Procedures for LiDAR Processing: AeroScan LiDAR timed reflection data and the IMU SBET flies were processed together using LiDAR processing software. The data set for each flight line was checked for data gaps between overlapping flightlines, and tension/compression areas (areas where data points are more or less dense that the average project specified post spacing). LiDAR data was collected for bi- and cross- directional flight lines over an airport prior to acquisition of the project area. Comparative analysis of the data produced a preliminary omega,phi,kappa correction. LiDAR data was processed and evaluated until angles met project specifications. All flight lines (airport and project) were checked and verified for vertical accuracy of 15 cm. An intensity raster for each flight line was generated and verified that intensity was recorded for each LiDAR point. Static survey ground control points at the airport were compared to the LiDAR data set and the LiDAR data was vertically biased down to the ground. Lidar data in overlap areas of project flight lines was removed. The raw LiDAR data set was processed through a minimum block mean algorithm and points were classified as either bare earth or non-bare earth. User developed macros that factor mean terrain angle and height from the ground were used to determine bare earth point classification. A 2D edit (surfacing) process ensures the accuracy of the automated feature classification. Imagery, intensity of the LiDAR reflection and tin-editing software were combined to assess points. LiDAR points were classified into bare earth, top of canopy, intermediate canopy, buildings, noise, water, miscellaneous structures or unclassified points. 2D surfaced LiDAR data and stero imagery was edited in softcopy photogrammetric workstations with 3D viewing and compilation capibilities. Contours generated from the LiDAR data were compared to the imagery. Breakline features, water features and planimetric data were collected. Data points remaining on structures and/or vegetation and data falling within water features was removed. LiDAR data erroneously removed during the surfacing process was included. Quality Control Procedures for orthophoto production: Individual orthophotos were mosaiced into a regional database and the resulting orthophoto composite was visually inspected for tone balance and image distortion. The final orthophotos were visually inspected for accuracy and consistency.
