Description:
Abstract:
This metadata applies to the following collection area(s): Addison County 2012 1.6m and related ASPECT datasets. This metadata complies with the VT Geodata Portal format and applies to thematic layers with the same resolution (RESCLASS), e.g., 0p7m, 1m etc., and may include multiple data "collection" efforts. For original vendor metadata and reports containing specific details on each data collection, e.g., 'point cloud' flight dates, nominal pulse spacing, RMSEz and more, navigate to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BFtJiwqPrO5iJ_HeSS8TeSrP-6xDo7RI. NOTE: The QL2 (0.7m) collections FOCUS reports contain myriad collection details in report form. The equivalent for the older QL3 collections are generally the “Project Reports". For an overview of the "VCGI Lidar Program" please see "VCGI.VERMONT.GOV/LIDAR".
Purpose:
To provide Vermont with the best available, Lidar based DEM and derived datasets. The VCGI Lidar Program is a collaboration of both public and private interests working towards the common goal of full state Lidar coverage. Ultimately, each Lidar dataset becomes integrated with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) national data repository (3DEP abstract - https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1399/). Implemented in 2012 to address the growing need for high quality topographic data, the 3DEP absorbed its predecessor, the National Elevation Dataset (NED). Lidar in Vermont includes two "Elevation Quality Levels (QL)": "QL2" and "QL3" (See the "Resources: Lidar Data Quality Levels (QLs)" link for details at - "https://vcgi.vermont.gov/data-and-programs/lidar-program").

Process_Description:
Acquired copies of vendor supplied Lidar data for all available collection extents in the state from the USGS and UVM Spatial Analysis Lab. Reprojected (via cubic convolution option) as needed from various source projections into Vermont State Plane Coordinates (Datum in NAD83) at a *p*M resolution "floating point" type Erdas Imagine file with a common "Registration Point" of X min = 424,000 and Y min = 25,000. This ensures outputs will be coincident with other when full state coverage is complete. Compressed, and loaded into VGIS Data Warehouse by Mike Brouillette.

Process_Description:
Updated metadata format using VT GeoData Portal metadata template. Compressed, and tasked DBA to load into VGIS Data Warehouse. Reimported all original vendor DEM data delivered in a tile format at contracted resolution to an updated naming convention (VIL Backend Design Document v.5). Subsequently regenerated all derivative data (ASPECT, HILSHD, Ndsm & SLOPE). NOTE: This specifically applies to 2012 Bennington and 2008 & 2010 Missisquoi collections that were reimported to their original resolution of 2m and 1.6m, respectively, after being processed by VCGI/USM-SAL at 1.4m. Subsequent information from USGS clarified the need to reprocess.
