Abstract:
Between March 12 and August 11, 2014, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data was acquired over the entirety of Santa Fe County (SFCO) in New Mexico, as well as portions of Rio Arriba, Taos, Mora, Los Alamos, San Miguel, Torrance, Sandoval and Bernalillo Counties. The project area covers approximately 3,000 square miles of urban, desert, and mountain areas. The LiDAR data were acquired to meet a US Geological Survey (USGS) Quality Level 2 (QL2) standard. LiDAR acquisition of the project was broken into five quadrants captured under normal ground conditions. The LiDAR acquisition platform for the Santa Fe County project was a turbocharged Cessna 206 equipped with an Optech ALTM Orion H300 LiDAR sensor, collecting multiple return x, y, and z values. This classified point cloud LiDAR dataset was developed from the acquired flight line strips. Two identical series of these classified point cloud data were created according to the two project tiling schemes—SFCO (Public Land Survey System (PLSS) section-based overlapping tiles) and USGS (non-overlapping, edge-matched 5000’x5000’ tiles). Classified point cloud datasets for the Santa Fe County series cover 3256 individual data tiles established for data processing and deliverable purposes.
Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to support activities throughout Santa Fe County, including but not limited to urban, community and regional planning; project and infrastructure planning; project reporting; floodplain mapping; stormwater management; vegetation analysis; change detection; and initial project reviews.
Supplemental_Information:
The bounding rectangle provided within the Geographic Extent metadata section represent the Santa Fe County 2014 Regional LiDAR Project Area in which the classified point cloud LiDAR elevation data is located. This project developed deliverable data derived from the integration of multiple sources of elevation information including: LiDAR data and supplemental breaklines collected from UltraCAM Eagle (UCE) stereo digital photography captured as part of the same project. This project metadata describes the project-wide characteristics and procedures employed in development of the tiled data that comprise the entire geographic extent.
