- Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
Forest tracts is a base map data layer derived by automated processes and processed for cartographic representation at 1:2400 scale. The polygon features represent the areas of forest or scrub cover as seen from above and are mapped to National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS).
- Purpose:
-
Forest is used by both the private and public sectors for comprehensive planning, facility planning, preservation projects, site design and land cover analysis.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Data are stored in the corporate ArcSDE Geodatabase as a polygon feature class. The coordinate system is Virginia State Plane (North), Zone 4501, datum NAD83 HARN, Vertical datum, NAVD88, US Survey foot units.
OMAGI updates all base map data via photogrammetric process, using aerial imagery that is flown yearly. A different portion of the county is updated each year with the base map maintenance services contract, depending upon development patterns and update funding. The field “UPD_DATE” indicates the date a feature was last re-mapped. For a map of the most recent reviews and updates within the county, please click on https://arcg.is/0Tm9PW0

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Forestry has undergone extensive Quality Assurance procedures to ensure feature attribution is consistent with the data dictionary and adheres to a logical relationship with neighboring features and layers.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Value: >90% attribute accuracy exists
- Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
-
27 separate block study areas underwent QA/QC comparison with the source orthophoto and overlaying base map layers. Greater than 90% of all features in each block achieve correct TYPE attribution. OMAGI compiled a separate PGDB for known attribute errors above 90% threshold.
- Logical_Consistency_Report: Topologically clean
- Completeness_Report:
-
Base Map features have been updated from different sources and in different years. Although the entire county was originally mapped, users should be cautious and aware that any particular area of interest may not be absolutely current and up to date. A generalized map of update years can be located at the OMAGI's webpage. The next anticipated update shall occur using 2016 imagery.
- Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Accuracy Assessments have been computed according to The National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA). 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. Accuracy is reported in ground distances at the 95% confidence level. Accuracy reported at the 95% confidence level means that 95% of the positions in the dataset will have an error with respect to true ground position that is equal to or smaller than the reported accuracy value. Data has been tested and meets NSSDA and ASPRS accuracy requirements for 1:2400 scale maps.

Aerial film was acquired and imaged in 2002 (Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP) color) and 2004 (Loudoun County annual aerial mission (black & white). The imagery was scanned at 21 microns. Ground control used to support the compilation and was collected by identifying strategic locations on the aerial photography plan and then determining the coordinates by GPS ground survey techniques. The Aerial Triangulation was performed using softcopy workstations. Bundle adjustment was performed and Digital Elevation Models were created using and planimetric data were collected using standard photogrammetric collection techniques for breaklines and masspoints on soft copy workstations. Final deliverables in ESRI Interchange (E00) file format were placed on CD for delivery to OMAGI.

Each of the Base Map Data Layer coverages in the 27 delivery blocks comprising Phases I and II were loaded into a single Geodatabase Feature Class using ArcGIS Simple Data Loader. The entire feature class was then dissolved using ArcToolBox Dissolve, such that any adjacent features with identical values in all attributes consolidated into one feature. Record Counts, Frequencies, Length or Area summaries and final Topology checks were performed throughout the conversion procedure to ensure that multiple coverage data input matched single feature class data output (per TYPE code). To meet satisfactory QA/QC requirements the input coverage and output feature class must have the same record total, and on a record by record basis, area, perimeter and length differential of less than +/- 0.5%

1. Legacy PGDB converted to DWG file.
2. DWG file imported to micro station V8 and overlaid with the area to be updated.
3. New features were collected as per the data dictionary and the features that do
not exist on 2020 imagery were deleted.
4. Modifications were done if there was a change in the shape and size of the
features.
5. All the new and updated features were modified and coded as Update_Date=
'2020.
6. Updated data was checked for edge matching.
7. DTM was modified in the update area.
8. Contours were generated, coded and edge matched with the legacy contour data.
9. Spot Elevation Points were placed.
10. All clean up tools were run.
11. Data was exported to PGDB.
12. QA/ QC Program was run and reported errors were corrected.
13. Updated data was checked against 2020 Orthos for completeness.
14. All the delivery blocks were merged into a single PGDB.
