   <abstract>Product: Texas West Central 2018 Lidar Intensity Imagery.
   	Geographic Extent: Texas West Central, covering approximately 42,557 square miles,spanning across three UTM zones (13, 14, and 15).  Blocks 1-4 fall within UTM zone 13, Blocks 5-14 fall within UTM zone 14, and Block 15 falls within UTM zone 15. Dataset Description: Texas West Central 2018 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 meter. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 1.2. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD83 (2011), Universal Transverse Mercator, meters and vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID12B), meters. Lidar data was delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to 50,901 individual 1500 m x 1500 m tiles, as tiled Intensity Imagery, and as tiled bare earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 1500 m x 1500 m schema.
   	Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected between February 1, 2018 and May 27, 2018, with reflights collected on November 5, 2018, 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, Dewberry established a total of 372 ground control points that were used to calibrate the lidar to known ground locations established throughout the Texas West Central project area. An additional 1183 independent accuracy checkpoints, 705 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (705 NVA points), 478 in Tall Grass and Brushland/Low Trees categories (478 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints 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. The purpose of these lidar data was to produce high accuracy 3D hydro-flattened Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a 1 meter cell size. These raw lidar point cloud data were used to create classified lidar LAS files, intensity images, 3D breaklines, hydro-flattened DEMs as necessary.</purpose>

  <useconst>None. However, users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this dataset was collected and that some parts of these data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use these data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations.

        <procdesc>Intensity Image Generation Process: GeoCue software was used to create the deliverable Intensity Images. All overlap classes were ignored during this process. This helps to ensure a more aesthetically pleasing image. The GeoCue software was then used to verify full project coverage as well. TIF/TFW files were then provided as the deliverable for this dataset requirement.</procdesc>
