		<logic>LiDAR data is collected within the project area and processed. After the DEMs were created, the dataset was verified against control.  Control was collected in 5 areas.  Area 5 includes Allegan, Berrien, and Van Buren.  Accuracy results are reported for Area 5.</logic>
		<complete>LiDAR data is collected for the project area.  Post processing of the simultaneously acquired GPS/INS is performed and applied to the laser returns to output a point cloud in the specified project coordinate system and datums.  The point cloud data is then subjected to automated classification routines to assign all points in the point cloud to ground, water, overlap and unclassified point classes.  Anomalous laser returns that occur infrequently are removed entirely from the data set.  Once clean bare earth points are established, DEMs are created using bare earth points and hydro features. The DEM surface is then compared to the survey checkpoints. These accuracies must pass the Fundamental Vertical Accuracy, Supplemental Vertical Accuracy, and Consolidated Vertical Accuracy specifications.</complete>
		<posacc>
			<horizpa>
				<horizpar>Horizontal positional accuracy for Allegan LiDAR is dependent upon the quality of the GPS/INS solution, sensor calibration and ground conditions at the time of data capture.  The standard system results for horizontal accuracy meet or exceed the project specified 1.0 meter RMSE.</horizpar>
				<qhorizpa>
					<horizpav>1.0</horizpav>
					<horizpae>Allegan County, this value is computed by comparing ground control to a DEM derived from the classified LiDAR data and represents the RMSE of residuals on controls within the project area.</horizpae>
				</qhorizpa>
			</horizpa>
			<vertacc>
				<vertaccr>For the DEM data derived from the classified point cloud, the FVA, SVA, and CVA were computed. The vertical accuracy was tested with independent survey check points located in various terrain types within Allegan County. These check points were not used in the calibration or post processing of the lidar point cloud data. The survey check points were distributed throughout the block area. Specifications for this project require that the FVA be 9.25 cm  (18.13 cm or better @ 95 percent confidence level).</vertaccr>
				<qvertpa>
					<vertaccv>0.067m RMSE, or 0.131m FVA @ 95 percent Confidence Interval</vertaccv>
					<vertacce>The FVA was tested using 38 independent survey check points located in flat terrain types within Area 5. The survey checkpoints were distributed throughout the block area. The 38 independent check points were surveyed using static GPS base stations collecting point location for 20 minute intervals. Elevations were measured for the x,y,z location of each check point. Elevations interpolated from the DEM surface were then compared to the elevation values of the surveyed control. The RMSE was computed to be 0.067 m. AccuracyZ has been tested to meet 9.25 cm Fundamental Vertical Accuracy at 95 Percent confidence level using RMSE(z) x 1.9600 as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASRPS Guidelines.</vertacce>
