9. Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships NSSDA Objective The National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) implements a statistical and testing methodology for estimating the positional accuracy of points on maps and in digital geospatial data, with respect to georeferenced ground positions of higher accuracy.

Coordination of Indiana GIS through dissemination of data and data products, education and outreach, adoption of standards, and building partnerships Weeded Down to 3 Points Down to three points to reflect this area These points represent the area of the survey and are spread across our general area. Points represent ground elevations. For county wide we will points spread across the county, in different land-use areas, and evenly spaced. Left number is elevation from surveys Right number is elevations from DEMs Very close. Possible issues between data sets – Road resurface Cut/Fill areas Erosion New construction

HYDRO FLATTENING:  Concerns when using data around water features. Potential loss of some data.  Only the DEM’s derived from the LAS files. Breaklines digitized from the LAS files.  Point clouds are not as sharp as the orthophotos. A little bit of land may accidently get flattened while a little bit of water may not. Should now be just ± 10 feet.
