| Abstract: |
Leading Edge Geomatics (LEG) collected 3451 square miles in Puerto Rico. The nominal pulse spacing for this project was 1 point every 0.7 meters. Dewberry used proprietary procedures to classify the LAS according to project specifications: 0-Never Classified, 1-Unclassified, 2-Ground, 7-Low Noise, 9-Water, 10-Ignored Ground due to breakline proximity, 17-Bridges, 18-High Noise. Dewberry produced 3D breaklines and combined these with the final lidar data to produce seamless hydro flattened DEMs for the project area. The data was formatted according to the USNG tile naming convention with each tile covering an area of 1,500 meters by 1,500 meters. A total of 4,714 tiles were produced for the entire Puerto Rico project. An interim delivery was submitted to USGS in December 2016. There are 2,048 tiles in the tile grid, 1,995 LAS files, and 1,941 DEMs included in this second delivery. The discrepancy between the tile count and the LAS/DEM files is because several tiles cover only open water. |
