      <abstract>The Greene County, OH Orthoimagery/ Lidar Project will consist of the following:
• New countywide CAUV Crop Delineation and Land-Cover GIS Layers
• Update the existing countywide building outline layer
• New countywide 1-meter LiDAR
• New countywide 1”=100’ scale 8-bit, 4-band (R, G, B, and NIR) stacked orthoimagery with a 6-inch pixel resolution – 2016 and 2018
• New countywide 1”=50’ scale 8-bit, 4-band (R, G, B, and NIR) stacked orthoimagery with a 3-inch pixel resolution - 2017 
This task is for a high resolution data set of lidar covering the entire Greene County area (approximately 416 square miles). The lidar was collected and processed to meet a maximum Nominal Post Spacing (NPS) of 1 meter. Lidar data is a remotely sensed high resolution elevation data collected by an airborne platform. The lidar sensor uses a combination of laser range finding, GPS positioning, and inertial measurement technologies. The lidar systems collect data point clouds that are used to produce highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures, and vegetation. The task required the LiDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 1 meter. Relative accuracy also known as "between swath" accuracy was tested through a series of well distributed flight line overlap locations. The final products include classified LAS 1.4, 2.5 feet pixel raster DEMs of the bare-earth surface in ArcGrid  Format, and tile index. Tiled data was delivered in 1,250 ft x 1,250 ft tiles. Each LAS file contains lidar point information, which has been calibrated, controlled, and classified. Additional deliverables include tile index provided as ESRI shapefile, FGDC metadata files in .xml format. Ground conditions: Water at normal levels; no unusual inundation; no snow; leaf off.</abstract>
      <purpose>Greene County has a goal to develop and/or update their existing orthoimagery geospatial dataset for use by County agencies, other levels of government, academia, and the general public, and to provide these datasets for inclusion to OGRIP. OGRIP is a State of Ohio resource for geographic information technology users.</purpose>

        <procdesc>Using a Leica ALS80 (lidar) system on board Woolpert aircraft, high density data, at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 1 meter, were collected for this task order. Leica Specs- AGL = 7,800ft (2,377meters) - Aircraft Speed = 150 Knots, Field of View (Full) = 40 degrees, Pulse Rate = 230 kHz, Scan Rate = 35.0 Hz, with an average side lap of 26.3%. Multiple returns were recorded for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. Two (2) missions were flown on February 18, 2017 and March 5, 2017. Woolpert survey crews were onsite, operating a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Base Station for the airborne GPS support. Specific information regarding latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid height to the L1 phase center is included in the lidar processing report. Data for the task order is referenced to the NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Ohio South FIPS 3402 US Survey Feet, and NAVD88 in US Survey Feet. The geoid used to reduce satellite derived elevations to orthometric heights was GEOID03. Once the data acquisition and GPS processing phases are complete, the lidar data was processed immediately to verify the coverage had no voids. The GPS and IMU data was post processed using differential and Kalman filter algorithms to derive a best estimate of trajectory. The quality of the solution was verified to be consistent with the accuracy requirements of the project. The SBET was used to reduce the lidar slant range measurements to a raw reflective surface for each flight line. The coverage was classified to extract a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM) and separate last returns. The ALS80 calibration and system performance is verified on a periodic basis using Woolpert's calibration range. The calibration range consists of a large building and runway. The edges of the building and control points along the runway have been located using conventional survey methods. Inertial measurement unit (IMU) misalignment angles and horizontal accuracy are calculated by comparing the position of the building edges between opposing flight lines. The scanner scale factor and vertical accuracy is calculated through comparison of lidar data against control points along the runway. Field calibration is performed on all flight lines to refine the IMU misalignment angles. IMU misalignment angles are calculated from the relative displacement of features within the overlap region of adjacent (and opposing) flight lines. The raw lidar data is reduced using the refined misalignment angles.</procdesc>

        <procdesc>The individual flight lines were inspected to ensure the systematic and residual errors have been identified and removed. Then, the flight lines were compared to adjacent flight lines for any mismatches to obtain a homogenous coverage throughout the project area. The point cloud underwent a classification process to determine bare-earth points and non-ground points utilizing "first and only" as well as "last of many" lidar returns. This process determined Default (Class 1), Bare-earth (Class 2), Low Vegetation (Class 3), Medium Vegetation (Class 4), High Vegetation (Class 5), Building (Class 6), Noise (Class 7), Overlap Default (Class 17), and Overlap Ground (Class 18). The bare-earth (Class 2 - Ground) lidar points underwent a manual QA/QC step to verify the quality of the DEM as well as a peer-based QC review. This included a review of the DEM surface to remove artifacts and ensure topographic quality. The overlap classes were determined by first identifying the overlapping areas and reclassifying the LAS data by offset from a corridor. This allows the returns located on the edge of the swath to be removed from the bare earth coverage in an effort to produce a more uniform data density. The returns determined to be overlap including overlap default and ground  are then applied an overlap flag and reclassified to their respective standard classification value. The surveyed ground control points are used to make vertical adjustments to the data set and to perform the accuracy checks and statistical analysis of the lidar dataset. Supervisory QC monitoring of work in progress and completed editing ensured consistency of classification character and adherence to project requirements across the entire project area. The resulting deliverables for this task order consist of classified LAS file in LAS 1.4 format and 2.5 feet pixel size DEM files in ArcGrid format.</procdesc>
