will cover the relationship of and transformations between the several
geometric and vertical geodetic reference frames most commonly used in the
United States. These include: The North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27), the
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83), the International Terrestrial Reference
Frame (ITRF), the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84), the National Geodetic
Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988
(NAVD). The program will specifically examine tools such as the gridded
utilities NADCON and VERTCON developed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS),
as well as the commonly used 3-parameter abridged Molodensky transformations
originally computed by the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) and the more
rigorous 14-parameter transformations supported by the NGS utility HTDP
(Horizontal Time Dependent Positioning).<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b class=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;

managers are increasingly using airborne LiDAR to study forests to conduct
inventories, assess habitat, study fires and fuels, monitor changes, and study
ecological processes. This seminar will look at LiDAR’s strengths and
weaknesses compared to other remote sensing methods to measure forests across
landscapes. We will cover how LiDAR measures forests and how managers can
process LiDAR data to measure their forests. We will also cover how to work
with a LiDAR vendor to acquire data for forest studies and how to relate LiDAR
measures with forest measurements gathered on the ground. In many cases,
LiDAR data is gathered for non-forest studies (such as studying ground
morphology);we will discuss how to use these common data sets to also study
forests.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b class=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;

tremendous potential to collect geospatial information in ways that will both

might look like in the future to accommodate commercial use of UAVs.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b class=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;

Geological Survey (USGS) National Geospatial Program (NGP) Lidar Base
Specification Version 1.0 was published in early 2012, and revised as Version
1.1 in 2014. The notable revisions in
version 1.1 were definitions for 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Quality Levels,
alignment with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data, updating the
delivery format to LAS version 1.4, and clarification of several
requirements. The version 2.0 update
will further align with new industry standards and best practices, define
requirements for additional 3DEP products and services, and address new lidar
technologies.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri;" class="">As a cooperative effort of the 3DEP
and the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) program, the NGP is developing a
common data dictionary for both topographic and hydrologic breaklines. The goal
is to enhance the integration of the NHD and 3DEP elevation products by
enabling the use of common linework to the highest degree possible. This data
dictionary is the most exciting update to the specification. Although 3DEP lidar projects require only
minimal hydrographic breaklines to be collected for hydro-flattening, those
features will be consistently formatted and immediately usable by the NHD as
well. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt;" class="">This presentation will preview the
changes from version 1.1 to version 2.0 and provide an opportunity for
attendees to have questions about the specification answered.</span></p>
