Product: Processed, classified lidar point cloud data tiles in LAS 1.4 format. Geographic Extent: Approximately 4,028 square miles encompassing the Big Island of Hawaii. Dataset Description: The HI Hawaii Island Lidar NOAA 2017 B17 lidar project called for the planning, acquisition, processing, and production of derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.35 meters. Project specifications were based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification 2020 Revision A. The data was developed based on a horizontal datum/projection of NAD83 (PA11) UTM Zone 5N Meters (EPSG 6635) and a vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID12B) Meters. Lidar data was delivered as processed LAS 1.4 files formatted to 8,629 individual 1,000-meter x 1,000-meter tiles. Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected from January 30, 2018 through January 6, 2020 by Leica Geosystems, Inc. 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, Woolpert established 70 ground control points that were used to calibrate the lidar to known ground locations established throughout the project area. Additional independent accuracy checkpoints were collected by NOAA and used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data. This dataset has been noted to have issues with ground classification in areas of dense vegetation. Please read the data use constraints section for further details.
