   <abstract>Product: These are height separation rasters modulated by intensity. Last-return lidar points were used to create 5 foot rasters.
   	Geographic Extent: The Gogebic AOI,  Michigan, covering approximately 235 square miles. Dataset Description: The lidar project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 2.1.
   	The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD83 (2011), State Plane, International Feet and vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID12B), International Feet. Lidar data was delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to 1046 individual 2500 ft x 2500 ft tiles, as tiled intensity rasters, and as tiled bare-earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 2500 ft x 2500 ft schema.
   	Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected in spring 2019 and spring 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, Sanborn Map Company, Inc., utilized a total of 4 ground control points that were used to calibrate the lidar to known ground locations established throughout the project area.
   	An additional 10 independent accuracy checkpoints, 6 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (6 NVA points), 4 in Tall Grass and Brushland/Low Trees categories (4 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These check points were not used to calibrate or post process the data.</abstract>
   <purpose>To acquire detailed surface elevation data for use in conservation planning, design, research, floodplain mapping, dam safety assessments and elevation modeling, etc. Classified LAS files are used to show the manually reviewed bare earth surface. This allows the user to create Intensity Images, Breaklines and Raster DEM. These lidar point cloud data were used to create intensity images, 3D breaklines, and hydro-flattened DEMs as necessary.</purpose>

        <procdesc>Swath Separation Image Process:  Last-return lidar points were used to create a 5 foot rasters. Using automated scripting routines within GeoCue, an GeoTIFF file was created for each tile. Coloration: 0-0.262ft Green; 0.262-0.524ft Yellow; 0.524-0.786ft Orange; >0.786ft Red. These rasters are representative of interswath alignment and provide a holistic qualitative look at the positional quality of the point cloud.</procdesc>
