      <abstract>Product: 2.5-foot bare-earth digital elevation models (DEMs) in ERDAS IMG format.
      	Geographic Extent: Approximately 18,069 square miles across the following counties in western Indiana: Benton, Boone, Carroll, Clay, Clinton, Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Fountain, Gibson, Greene, Hendricks, Jasper, Knox, Lake, LaPorte, Lawrence, Martin, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, Orange, Owen, Parke, Perry, Pike, Porter, Posey, Pulaski, Putnam, Spencer, Starke, Sullivan, Tippecanoe, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Vigo, Warren, Warrick, White.      
        Dataset Description: The Indiana Statewide Lidar 2017 B17 West task called for the planning, acquisition, processing, and production of derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meters. Project specifications were based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 1.2. The data was developed based on a horizontal datum/projection of NAD83 (HARN) State Plane Indiana West Zone (FIPS 1302), US Survey Feet, and a vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID12B), US Survey Feet. DEM data was delivered as ERDAS IMG files formatted to 20,074 individual 5,000-foot x 5,000-foot tiles. Tiles were named according to the Indiana Statewide Ortho-Lidar tile index.
        Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected from March 9, 2017 through April 11, 2020 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 and meet ASPRS vertical accuracy guidelines, Woolpert established 234 ground control points that were used to calibrate the lidar to known ground locations established throughout the project area. An additional 724 independent accuracy checkpoints (417 NVA points and 307 VVA points), were collected and used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data.</abstract>
