Warhol self-portrait, 1964, was twice rejected by the foundation's authentication board.

Warhol Foundation Lawyers Quash Antitrust Lawsuit
The biggest legal brawl in the art world is coming to a crashing halt
NEW YORK - The closely watched federal lawsuit in which a private collector is suing the Andy Warhol Foundation and its subsidiary Art Authentication Board is about to reach an abrupt and unexpected end. Joe Simon, the London-based American whose 2007 complaint challenges the board's rejection of the authenticity of the 1964 Warhol self-portrait that he owns, says that he and his lawyer, Seth Redniss of New York, will withdraw from the case at the next hearing, scheduled for November 10 in federal court in the Southern District of Manhattan. A parallel lawsuit in which Redniss is counsel, filed last year by U.S. collector Susan Shaer after the rejection of a self-portrait from the same series, also will be dropped, says Simon.
Simon...cites a lack of "financial resources" to continue the case, as well as the Warhol Foundation's threat of punitive countersuits. The full text of Simon's statement is below. Redniss declined to comment when contacted by telephone, and lawyers for the Warhol Foundation could not be immediately reached.
"The case is done," says Simon. "I can't do it anymore." The reason is that Redniss, who has been working for years without pay in exchange for a percentage of a prospective settlement, is unable to respond to the numerous motions filed by lawyers for the Warhol Foundation. Simon says he does not have funds to hire additional counsel and is unable to enlist other firms willing to work on contingency.
A work from the series was reproduced on the dust jacket of the 1970 Warhol catalogue raisonne.
Simon and others had hoped that the lawsuit would uncover the committee's secretive deliberations and open the door to claims that could result in reassessment of numerous rejected works, potentially resulting in many millions of dollars worth of art being reinstated in the Warhol canon. The stakes are extremely high. The auction record for a Warhol is $71.7 million paid for his 1963 Green Car Crash silkscreen canvas at Christie's in May 2007.
Simon's complaint further alleged that the Warhol Foundation and its authentication board engaged in an illegal conspiracy to control the Warhol market by limiting the number of approved Warhols, and thereby increasing the rarity and value of the hundreds of works owned and sold by the foundation. They sought damages and an injunction against the Warhol Foundation, the authentication board, the Warhol estate, and executor Vincent Fremont — the sales representative for the foundation's paintings — alleging antitrust violations, collusion and fraud.
Read more, including a full statement by Simon, here.
from Artnet:
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts may have prevailed in its legal battle against Joe Simon, but it has certainly lost the last shreds of its credibility. This weekend's news that Simon has decided to drop his long-running lawsuit to confirm the authenticity of his 1964 Andy Warhol Self-Portrait was especially surprising, since his case was all but proven: The painting was clearly viewed as authentic by the artist himself, as well as by many of his acolytes. But no, the might of Andy's legacy -- assets worth more than $300 million and legal firepower led by no less than David Boies -- essentially bullied Simon into silence. Simon was swamped by "the numerous motions filed by lawyers for the Warhol Foundation," and is now "impecunious."
This latest misadventure comes fast on the heels of several others. The Warhol Foundation recently attempted to get out from under a dispute involving more than 100 Brillo Boxes, now widely acknowledged as bogus, that the foundation had authenticated. And who can forget the risible exchange of letters in 2009 between the foundation and art critic Richard Dorment in the pages of the New York Review of Books? There, Dorment pointed out the "sublime idiocy" of the foundation's admission, in regard to the Warhol self-portrait, that "said work is NOT the work of Andy Warhol, but that said work was signed, dedicated and dated by him."
No reasonable explanation has been offered for the Warhol Foundation's approach to this matter, though sadly it is seen in some quarters as evidence that the "art world" is dominated by a corrupt cabal of insiders. The Warhol Foundation -- and the exceptionally well-paid functionaries that run it -- should be ashamed.

That old standard "When the Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along" is a silly, lighthearted anticipation of spring, isn't it? Well, yes and no. Once you've heard Jessica Molaskey sing it in her happy-sad voice with a light jazz bounce, it becomes something much more ambivalent. A depressive's prayer that one day, not far from now, "there'll be no more sobbin"' is another possible interpretation. Still another is an unhappy adult dreaming of going back to childhood: "I'm just a kid again, doin' what I did again."
These and many more meanings swirl around you as Ms. Molaskey delivers "Red, Red Robin" in a tone of bittersweet joy in her solo nightclub act, "Make Believe." The title comes from her third album on PS Classics and also from the aria in "Show Boat," which she reinvents by stripping the frosting from the coy love duet and treating the lyric as the one-sided obsession of fantasist.
Ms. Molaskey, a Broadway veteran, had stoked anticipation for her solo debut through many guest appearances at Feinstein's at the Regency with her husband, the guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli, who accompanies her at the Oak Room. Rounding out the trio are Larry Goldings on piano and Martin Pizzarelli, John's brother, on bass.
Except for an inspired his-and-hers medley of two unlikely tongue twisters, Jon Hendricks's "Cloudburst" and Stephen Sondheim's "Getting Married Today," Ms. Molaskey's husband remains in the background. That screwball duet, which shows off the couple as the Nick and Nora of cabaret, also illustrates the theme of the show, "42nd Street meets 52nd Street." In other words, the marriage of old-time Broadway and jazz.
The same screwball sophistication extends to Ms. Molaskey's three witty more-than-meets-the-eye collaborations with Mr. Pizzarelli: "How Come You Ain't Got Me?" (a possible response to "I Can't Get Started"); the tender "The Girl With His Smile and My Eyes," and best of all, "The Greedy Tadpole," a children's storybook fable written for a song cycle about the seven deadly sins, that below its whimsy is really a biting critique of capitalism.
Complicated, compelling, and worth seeing more than once, Ms. Molaskey is a performer incapable of dishonesty.
Jessica Molaskey's act "Make Believe" plays through Jan. 29 at the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel.

Hi Ann and Cheryl. I can't believe that we are almost 10 months post-op and talking about the year anniversary. How awesome!!
We had Elizabeth's check up last Thursday and the doctor was very pleased with how her x-rays and back were looking. He told her she could be the poster child for scoliosis surgery. Elizabeth asked him about why her lower back is so sore and he told her that it just takes a long time for all the muscles to heal completely and that she needed to be sure to do a lot of stretching. She needs to be doing the exercises she was given during physical therapy, but it seems like between homework, dancing, and going to school there isn't much time.
Elizabeth really does love being in high school. For some reason it is harder on me knowing she is old enough to be a freshman. I guess I just know how quickly my son's 4 years went by in high school. I am not ready for the empty nest yet, although it has been kind of nice having just one at home right now. I do miss my son though and will be glad when he comes home again for a visit.
Cheryl, I hope that Briann feels better soon and she can get her driving in for driver's ed. My husband has taken Elizabeth driving in a couple of parking lots letting her get some practice in. She thinks that is pretty cool. She will get her permit in March and will take driver's ed probably in February. How is Briann enjoying high school? As far as the roller coaster thing, our doctor cleared Elizabeth too except for the really jerky ones or ones that flip you hard. It still makes me nervous though!
Ann, I am sure it will take some adjustment to get used to the empty nest. The quiet would be nice at times, but kind of lonely at others as I enjoy the laughter and busyness of Elizabeth and her friends when they are over. Too bad we do live so far apart as it would be a really special thing to meet up to celebrate the 1 year anniversary.
Marie, hope Carrie enjoys her senior year. It will go by so quickly. Thankfully the surgery is behind all of you and you can concentrate on all the special things that go on during this school year. Is Carrie having any problems with back soreness with all the marching in band? Elizabeth is sore from starting back to dance, but it is also good for her to be doing the activities that she loves again.
Take care everyone and thanks for checking in. You all are very special to me and I am so thankful for the encouragement and support.

A brief exploration into motion capture and shapes of sound. As an introduction, participants will watch and listen to a selection of short animations and audio clips, many from the 1930s and 40s, including by Max Fleischer and Oskar Fishchinger. From there, we'll move into a hands-on drawing and listening workshop, adapting several early animation techniques used to transfer movement, sound, and maybe spirit, from the observed world into cartoons.

When trousers became nightmare !
It's a very common scene now-a-days for batsmen to stop a game due to sighting issues. When people move around sight screen, a batsman gets distracted and so he leaves the ball and the game is ceased until the problem is solved. But what happened back in 2005 is a bit rare.
That year Sri Lankan cricket team were visiting New Zealand for a tournament consisting of 3 Tests and 5 ODIs. In the first Yest at Napier, Malinga's round-arm action came as a surprise to the Kiwi batsmen as they kept on coming from awkward angles. To counter the issue, NZ captain Stephen Fleming came out with weird solutions. He first asked umpires Steve Bucknor and Darrell Hair to take their ties off as the colour of their ties made them loose track of the ball and even went to ask them to change their trousers to lighter shades of colour. Though Bucknor agreed to tie a drape a white cloth around his waist, Hair denied to do so.
"We're told what to wear by the ICC (International Cricket Council). It's part of our gear and that's what we are wearing," Hair said. He also mentioned that it's beyond a person's ability to change trousers everytime a new bowler comes to bowl. "I can understand their concerns but we all have to overcome difficulties at some stage of our life, so in some ways it is a test of character", He added.
When asked about Bucknor's draping solution, he said "I'll hold a jersey there (around the waist) but I'm not going to be wrapping myself up."
Though the NZ team managed to put up a total of 561 with mentionable contributions from Hamish Marshall (160 from 250), Nathan Astle (114 from 203) and Brendon McCullum (99 from 156 ), the batting line up was troubled by Mallinga taking 5 wickets giving away only 80 runs. The captain scored 41 runs and retired hurt.
When asked of the irky plead, Fleming replied, "Part of it is the trousers in the umpires' uniform" and also added that they faced real problem to pick Mallinga up as bowled a certain line and length."
Kiwi skipper also mentioned that they believed umpires happen to be ever helpful as they should be. He also suggested to break the traditional colour code and make them wear beige clothes.
The match stood a draw with Malinga making match figures of 9-210 and winning the man of the match award.

A Little Summer Project – Extruded Tumblers June 23, 2009Posted by id2707009.icsas.xyz in ceramic, pottery, Process.
Tumblers, mugs, and tea cups are a great way of experimenting with new techniques and glazes. They are easy to make in quantities without serious commitment to one particular technique or spending too much time on one piece. And it is easy to adjust and refine them as you progress from one to the next until you are completely satisfied with the finished product. They are also great for the beginner who is trying to define his style or just practice working with clay.
I made a few tumblers from red earthenware using an extruder. Extruders are great (except for the cleaning part) but depending on the volume of the barrel and the diameter and thickness of the extruded shape, they will limit the number of pieces you can make in one batch (unless you are willing to reload). I extruded the cylinders using the hollow dye (~3" diameter), cut them in equal pieces of ~4.5" tall and joined at the bottoms with the round slabs, reinforcing the seams with thin coils and smoothing. The cylinders come out of the extruder looking a little sloppy for my taste, so after I attached the bottoms, I compressed the walls with a wooden spoon and then altered the shape slightly, stretching the cups from inside out, to give them an organic look.
I let them dry completely and then smoothed all surfaces with a scrubby. And here they are, waiting for the most exciting part – decoration.

Ship Of Fools Session 6 – The Dark Side of the World
Hours after the insane captain Bryce Touglas caused the Duquetimme to be destroyed in a terrible storm, the crew comes to. The storm still rages, supplies are missing, and numerous crewmen are injured or nowhere in sight. Marshall Yaeger finds a strong forest canopy to spend the night under.
The crew looks out the next morning to see supplies and portions of the Duquetimme which have washed ashore. Imperative is placed on recovering everything from the ruined ship and trying to complete the mission. They must still establish a trade hub and be ready to deal with the possible landing of the Mikado Star should they have survived the storm.
They were in for a 3 month tour, but now they find themselves in for the long haul on this uncharted desert isle. They must find a way to make do and finish their mission, but it will be an uphill battle. They must make the best of what they have.

Ship of Fools Session 4 – The World at Large
Believe it or not, but hiding a young woman on a vessel full of sailors all barely capable of completing their own ship duties is easier than it sounds. Leon continues to protect Isae, as more and more sailors continue to fail recognizing her as anything less than the captain's cabin boy they forgot was on board to start with. At least one of the crew is too concerned with the contraband he smuggled out of the Degrading Lands to care.
Erstwhile, two new sailors find a place and purpose aboard the ship. Quessy and Garou, two refugees recovered from the Degrading Lands, assume their duties with grand vigor. Quessy, an enternainer. Garou, moving man sized barrels over each shoulder. The Degrading Lands were indeed kind to the Duquetimme.
There's a new ship on the horizon. This one, however, waves a neutral, foreign flag: a trade vessel of the distant desert land of Xexoria seeks a meeting at sea . . .

Ship of Fools Session 3 – Le Degradacion de le Memoria
Following some scandal and controversy upon The Scaly Wench, the crew of the Duquetimme has swapped the paranoid Avent Martell for a crew member with a different position entirely. A variety of positions, one could say.
Leon Donnelly, the aggressor of the controversy, has new duties relating to this new crewmember. Namely, making sure that she avoids all of the positions she had on her previous vessel, in addition to all of his regular navigation duties.
Up in the crow's nest, away from all of these ship politics, Marshall Yaeger sees a land mass unknown by the navigation crew or any maps from the Vontais people. It's far too early to have reached the island of choice to the Poulin Trading Company. What could possibly lie in store?

Over the past two decades, my study of William Morris has come to be recognized as a 'quarry' of information, although in one or two instances it appears that it was a suspect quarry, to be worked surreptitiously for doctoral advancement.footnote* One ought not to object to this: a quarry should release materials into the general fabric of scholarship. But what if my book was not a quarry but a construction meriting attention in its own right? And what if the stones lifted from it end up by adding only to the featureless sprawl of academic suburbia? At least the question may be put. But one must be careful as to how the question is put. Several of my successors, in volumes appearing from the most reputable academic presses, are in agreement that the question can be put in only one way: my scholarship is vitiated by Marxist dogmatism. A work 'of intelligent and exhaustive scholarship', in one generous account, 'but it is marred by the author's intense Marxian bias'. Morris's activities 'are examined through the prism of the class struggle and the result is a somewhat distorted view of Morris's ideas'. Another finds my book 'flawed' by its misguided attempt to present its object as
I had thought that the book was something rather different. It is, in a central respect, an argument about the Romantic tradition and its transformation by Morris. (It is of interest that I and Raymond Williams, whose important Culture and Society appeared three years after my book, should have been, unknown to each other, working upon different aspects of the Romantic critique of utilitarianism.) But, leaving this aside, one has to ask whether it may not be the political commitment of Morris, and not of Marx, which has given offence to these authors? In which case my own offence has been chiefly that of showing an intense Morrisian bias? The question is difficult: it is true that in 1955 I allowed some hectoring political moralisms, as well as a few Stalinist pieties, to intrude upon the text. I had then a somewhat reverent notion of Marxism as a received orthodoxy, and my pages included some passages of polemic whose vulgarity no doubt makes contemporary scholars wince. The book was published at the height of the Cold War. Intellectual McCarthyism was not confined to the United States, although few in the subsequent generations understand its discreet British modes of operation. Marxist sympathies were so disreputable that they could find little expression outside of Communist publications; and the vulgarity of my own polemic can only be understood against the all-pervasive and well-furnished vulgarities of the anti-Marxist orthodoxies of that time.
The climate can be illustrated by the welcome afforded my book in the non-socialist press. This welcome was mainly a silence, broken by the review in the Times Literary Supplement, headed 'Morris and Marxism'. The reviewer reported that my book was 'heavily biased by Marxism' and 'splenetic in tone'; the 'remarkable feat' of its author is that 'he manages to sustain a mood of ill-temper through a volume of 900 pages'. My citations from Morris's political writings 'show how fluffy were Morris's socialist views', and the book as a whole 'merely serves to emphasize aspects of Morris which are better left forgotten'. It is clear that it was Morris, and not Thompson, nor even Marx, who must be pushed back into the silence of disrepute.
All this was (in those days) predictable. So far from dismaying one, it was a tonic to one's fighting-blood: in a sense, even one's self-righteous sectarian errors were confirmed within the circular field of antagonism to such official lampoons and silences. In all this, the book became typed, by enemies and even by some friends, as offering only one finding: the Morris 5 Marx equation. And yet the book, while perhaps offering too tidy an account of that relation, by no means contented itself with showing Morris ending his life in an orthodox Marxist terminus. The point was, rather, that Morris was an original socialist
But this line of argument is an uneasy one, since it focuses attention on my own intellectual evolution (and apologetics) and distracts attention from our proper concern: William Morris and his political thought. And we should return to the question already proposed: have some recent writers used the criticism of my book to mask their ulterior dislike of Morris, so that for Thompson's 'intense Marxian bias' we ought really to read 'Morris's uncompromising commitment to revolutionary socialism'? For if I had really falsified my account of Morris's positions, one would suppose that these critics would go on to correct my account, in informed and accurate ways. But I do not find that this has been done. Thus Willard Wolfe,footnote1 who affirms that my attempt to present Morris as a Marxist is 'misguided', offers no close examination of Morris's socialist writings, and presents, in succession, the following judgements on Morris's socialism: 1. his lectures of the 1880s 'advocated a form of Radical-individualist utopianism that was very similar to Shaw's' 2. his socialism was 'ethical-aesthetic'; and 3. Morris 'must be classed among the Christian Socialist recruits' to the sdf since his socialism was 'essentially religious in character' and was 'grounded on an essentially Christian ideal of brotherhood'. This may be good enough for Yale University Press, but it would have been rejected by the Editor of Commonweal: what it seems to argue is that Morris's socialism was really very nice, and never rude, although it leaves unresolved the question as to how 'Radical-individualist utopianism' was reconciled with the 'Christian ideal of brotherhood'.

Manu and me visited Amsterdam to go to the 'State of the Map'-conference, about the OpenStreetMap. If you've never heard about OpenStreetMap, I will tell you a little about it: Basically the OpenStreetMap is to maps, what Wikipedia is to encyclopedias; a community-based project to collect geographic information like streets, parks, pubs - everything which might be interesting. The level of detail can be very high, e.g. the zoos in Berlin and Amsterdam even show the areas of the various animals. Even more interesting is what people make of the data - specialized maps for cycling, skiing, public transportation; routing for cars, cycling and walking; applications for mobile devices like the iPhone; a browser for the data (my project); or you can make a cake out of it.
The conference lasted three days - Friday, the "Business day" and Saturday/Sunday the "community days". Lot's of talks, space for networking - and many male nerds :/
The best thing of the weekend (beside staying in CasaRobino) was the squat sauna Fenomeen - it was just great to relax there.

Score 49
First introduced in 1978, The Kanken backpack has become an iconic symbol of classic functional Swedish design. After engaging in the "back debates" of the late 1970's in Sweden, Fjallraven founder Ake Nordin developed a simple yet functional backpack with the help of The Swedish Guide and Scout Association. This revolutionary design now known as the Kanken evenly distributed the bag's weight to both shoulders which led to reduced back problems in Sweden. Not much has changed since 1978. They've added more colors and a few new models including this mini backpack for your little ones.
The Kanken is made of highly durable, abrasion and water resistant fabric that softens with age and washes and becomes increasingly robust as the fibers in the fabric tighten from use. Since 1960 Fjallraven has stayed true to its mission; developing timeless, functional and durable outdoor equipment while acting responsibly toward people, animals and the environment. Inspired by the outdoors, Fjallraven inspires others to get outside.

Survey Results Are In
Thank you to all who took the time to take my constituent survey. We had a great response of 439 surveys. Your input will be very helpful as we begin to look to the upcoming legislative session. Below are some of the main findings:
Urban Affairs Committee Holds Hearing on Voting, Access to City Services and Code Enforcement in Sanitary Improvement Districts
On Friday, November 7 the Urban Affairs Committee held a hearing on LR 555, an interim study resolution I introduced examining issues facing citizens who live in a sanitary improvement district. A sanitary improvement district, or SID, is a type of political subdivision unique to Nebraska. It is used primarily in urban areas to facilitate growth outside of city limits. Using SIDs in this manner ensures that new infrastructure development is paid for by those who will benefit from it, and that residents in the center of the town are not subsidizing growth on the outskirts. In Sarpy County, there are 111 sanitary improvement districts.
Most SID boards contract for basic services like snow removal and garbage collection, but SID residents often don't realize that while their street address might say Bellevue on it, they can't access many city services such as the Bellevue Public Library or code enforcement as residents. The hearing examined these issues (access to city services, voting) and several others facing residents of sanitary improvement districts. I especially appreciate the hard work of committee legal counsel, Trevor Fitzgerald, in helping to organize the hearing.
Compassionate Use of CBD Oil for the Treatment of Epilepsy Discussed
Yesterday, I testified in front of the Judiciary Committee regarding LR 433, an interim study resolution I introduced to examine issues surrounding the compassionate use of cannabidiol (CBD) oil to treat patients with severe epilepsy. CBD oil is a substance that is low in THC, a psychotropic component that in large quantities produces a high. Research published in peer reviewed journals found that CBD oil helped minimize seizures with few side effects. We are working on a bill for next session to allow access to CBD oil that is low in THC for patients with intractable epilepsy who are willing to participate in a research study of its effectiveness. This is a very narrow approach that focuses solely on low THC product that is legally equivalent to hemp by federal law.
Most importantly, the hearing allowed parents of children with severe epilepsy to share their stories with the Judiciary Committee. I am grateful to the parents who traveled to Lincoln to participate in the hearing yesterday. My heart goes out to these brave families who so desperately want to reduce the seizures of their children.
Today in the Legislature: A New Feature
One way I communicate with constituents is through social media. Beginning this interim and continuing next session, our office will share an infographic with information about hearings scheduled that day and bills scheduled for floor debate along with a link to listen to the proceedings online. If you haven't already, I encourage you to like (hyperlink to FB page) my Facebook page and follow (hyperlink to Twitter) me on Twitter. During session, I will post a "Today in the Legislature" infographic once a day as a way for constituents and others to track what's happening in the Legislature in almost real time. The Nebraska Unicameral has a long tradition of transparency and open government. I hope this feature will assist us in bringing additional transparency and accountability to the work we do in Lincoln.
Looking Ahead: 2015 Session
The 104th Legislature is scheduled to convene on Wednesday, January 7th at 10:00 AM. Due to term limits, we will have 17 new senators and a new gubernatorial administration when session commences early next year.
Photo of me taking the oath of office in January 2013.
On the first day of session, these new senators will take their oath of office. The Legislature will also elect a Speaker and chairs of the standing committees. Senators will also receive their committee assignments from Committee on Committees members.
In Nebraska, senators can introduce bills during the first 10 days of session. Executive Board committee members then reference bills to the standing committee that has subject matter jurisdiction over the bill. In Nebraska, unlike many states, each bill receives a public hearing. These hearings will begin in late January or early February once all bills have been referenced to their respective committees.
Stay tuned next month for a preview of my legislative agenda for next year!

Though procurement organizations frequently turn to strategic sourcing to negotiate better rates and drive more savings for the enterprise, they often fail to deliver sustainable results. The savings identified and expected from strategic sourcing initiatives do not always translate into realized savings, and even when they do, they begin to erode within a couple of years. This savings shrinkage is primarily due to the myopic focus on negotiating lower prices and better contract terms, without adequate processes, metrics, resources, or changes in buying behavior to sustain these savings.
For procurement organizations across the world, the metric that most often defines their performance is projected contract savings, validated by finance.
These contracted savings are usually expected to become realized savings by the executive management. The journey — from approval and contract signing at the front end and banking the realized savings at the back end — is driven by developing and executing a thoughtful and effective compliance strategy. That is where the real challenge lies.
This white paper discusses some common pitfalls of strategic sourcing initiatives in driving sustainable results, which only a robust compliance process can help overcome.

LIDAR and Digital Elevation Data
- Phyllis Ferguson
- 4 years ago
- Views:
1 LIDAR and Digital Elevation Data Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is being used by the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program to generate digital elevation data. These highly accurate topographic data are then used with other digital information and field data to analyze flood hazards and delineate floodplain boundaries, which are depicted on Flood Insurance Rate Maps. This fact sheet provides information on this new technology and the resulting products being created and distributed. For more information on LIDAR technologies and digital elevation data, the best overall reference is Digital Elevation Model Technologies and Applications: The DEM Users Manual, by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Bethesda, Maryland, Fact Sheet Contents Data Acquisition Pg 1 Post-Processing Pg 2 Quality Control Pg 2 LIDAR Advantages Pg 3 LIDAR Contours Pg 3 Available Products Pg 4 User Generated Products Pg 5 Acronyms and Definitions Pg 6 How Does LIDAR Acquire Data? Airborne LIDAR sensors emit between 5,000 and 50,000 laser pulses per second in a scanning array. The most common scanning arrays, as shown below, go back and forth sideways relative to the points measured on the ground. The scan angle and flying height determine the average point spacing in the cross-flight direction, whereas the flying height and the airspeed determine the average point spacing in the in-flight direction. Each laser pulse has a pulse width (typically between 0.5 and 1 meter in diameter) and a pulse length (equivalent to the short time lapse between the time the laser pulse was turned on and off). Therefore, each laser pulse is actually like a cylinder of light with diameter and length. Several technologies operate for LIDAR to survey high-accuracy data points on the ground: Airborne LIDAR System Airborne Global Positioning System (GPS) is needed to determine the x, y, and z coordinates of the moving LIDAR sensor in the air, surveyed relative to one or more GPS base stations. The Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) directly measures the roll, pitch, and heading of the aircraft, establishing the angular orientation of the LIDAR sensor about the x, y, and z axes in flight. The LIDAR sensor measures the scan angle of the laser pulses. Combined with the IMU data, this establishes the angular orientation of each laser pulse. The LIDAR sensor measures the time needed for each emitted pulse to reflect off the ground (or features thereon) and return to the sensor. LIDAR sensors are capable of receiving multiple returns, some up to five returns per pulse. This means that a 30-KHz sensor (30,000 pulses per second) must be capable of recording up to 150,000 returns per second. The "first return" recorded by a LIDAR sensor is the first thing hit by a laser pulse. This could be a treetop, roof, ground point, or a bird in flight. When a laser pulse hits a soft target (e.g., a forest canopy), the first return represents the top of that feature. However, a portion of the laser light beam might continue downward below the soft target and hit a tree branch. This would provide a second return. Theoretically, the last return represents the bare earth terrain, but this is sometimes not the case. Some vegetation is so thick that no portion of the laser pulse penetrates to the ground. This is usually the case with sawgrass, mangrove, and dense forests where a person on the ground cannot see the sky through the canopy. LIDAR for the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program was flown during "leaf off" conditions to favor the acquisition of bare earth data. Page 1 of 6 January 2003
2 How are the Data Acquired by LIDAR Refined? The major cost for LIDAR in the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program is vegetation removal, which involves the post-processing of the data to generate bare earth digital information. To get these bare-earth elevation data, automated and manual post-processing are used to eliminate points that impinged on elevation features. This creates data voids, so that the dataset becomes more Pre-Processed LIDAR Data inanurban Area irregular with regard to point spacing on the ground. Automated post-processing includes computerized procedures that detect elevation changes that appear to be unnatural. For example, rooftops are identified with relative ease because there are abrupt elevation changes between the yard and the rooftop. However, vegetation provides more difficult challenges for automated procedures. Manual post-processing is more accurate (and more costly) and normally includes the overlay of data points on digital imagery so the analyst can see where the laser points hit the ground. This can be problematic if the imagery was not flown concurrent with the LIDAR data and some features moved (e.g., vehicles along a road) or otherwise changed between the acquisition of LIDAR and the image. Furthermore, LIDAR is often flown at night, whereas imagery is photographed during daylight hours when the sun angle is suitable. How are the Data Checked? Field survey checkpoints are obtained to evaluate the accuracy of LIDAR products. A minimum of 100 checkpoints are tested in a county. At least 20 for 5 different land vegetation categories (forest, built-up, scrub, weeds/crop, and bare-earth/low grass) are tested with forested areas requiring a minimum of 40 checkpoints. A statistical analysis between North Carolina Phase I Status Map the difference in elevations of the field survey checkpoints and LIDAR-derived, bare earth elevations at the same locations provides a quality assessment of the LIDAR data. A depiction of the quality control results, measured as a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) in centimeters (cm), is provided at the right for the first phase of the Program. Page 2 of 6 January 2003
3 What are the Advantages of LIDAR? The North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program has chosen to use LIDAR to acquire new, highly accurate digital elevation data for floodplain mapping. Compared to traditional photogrammetric methods used to develop topographic data, LIDAR has several advantages, including: LIDAR is better able to map bare earth elevations in forested or vegetated areas than other methods because only a single laser pulse needs to be able to reach between trees and the ground. The post-spacing for digital elevation data derived from LIDAR is considerably denser than from traditional methods. For example, LIDAR data from eastern North Carolina have nominal point spacing of approximately 3 meters, whereas older methods typically acquire data points spaced at 10 to 30 meters. Digital elevation data created from LIDAR are considerably less expensive than those created from traditional methods, especially when automated post-processing is used to generate LIDAR bare earth elevation data. Floodplain Mapping Because of the high density of mass points, LIDAR is superior for automated Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) analyses and automated floodplain delineation such as that shown to the left, which is used to create Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). What are the Disadvantages of LIDAR? Digital elevation data developed from any method, including LIDAR, are not perfect. LIDAR cannot accurately delineate stream channels, shorelines, or ridge lines visible on photographic images. In addition, because manual processing is required, contours derived from LIDAR are not normally hydrocorrected to ensure the downward flow of water in the digital elevation data. A comparison of human- and LIDAR-produced contours is shown from Chapter 13, Digital Elevation Model Technologies and Applications: The DEM Users Manual, to the right. Contours derived automatically from LIDAR data (yellow contours) may depict stream channels differently than manual photogrammetric techniques (red contour). For many applications, the unedited LIDAR-derived contours may be acceptable. For applications where contours along a stream must depict continuous downhill flow, it is usually necessary to manually incorporate break lines along the stream channels, adding to project costs and delivery times. Human Interpreted Contour (red) Versus LIDAR Derived Contours (yellow) without Smoothing Page 3 of 6 January 2003
4 Available Digital Elevation Data Products The North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program has developed a dynamic information technology infrastructure, called the Floodplain Mapping Information System (FMIS). This was developed to maintain, archive, and disseminate flood maps and associated data, including digital elevation data and other framework data layers, to the public via the Internet. FMIS is available through the program s website at A summary of the LIDAR elevation data being made available through FMIS is provided below. The digital datasets are in North American Datum of 1983 (horizontal) and North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (vertical) projections. Metadata has been developed for the archived digital elevation data in all formats given below. Program s Website Product Name Tile Size File Format(s) Metadata Bare Earth Mass Points 10,000 feet ASCII Yes Bare Earth Break Lines 10,000 feet ESRI Shapefile Yes 50-Foot Hydro-Corrected DEMs 10,000 feet ESRI GRID, ASCII Yes 20-Foot DEMs 10,000 feet ESRI GRID, ASCII Yes The initial LIDAR dataset (i.e., mass points) is irregularly spaced. Regularly spaced Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) may be generated by interpolation between irregularly-spaced mass points that reflect the bare earth elevation where a LIDAR pulse hit the ground. An example of their distribution is shown below as red points. Areas covered by water create natural voids in LIDAR datasets (identified by green lines). Other voids (areas within white lines) are created during processing where LIDAR fails to penetrate dense vegetation. Points shown in yellow represent bare earth elevations, near shorelines, that are higher than surrounding points. These points are depicted to highlight how LIDAR data along streams may not accurately reflect decreasing elevations in the downstream direction. For this reason, bare earth break lines are developed and provided on FMIS. Mass points outside the stream s floodplain were omitted for clarity. Digital Elevation Model (DEM): A popular acronym used as a generic term for digital topographic and/or bathymetric data in all its various forms. Post-Processed, Bare-Earth LIDAR Mass Points along a North Carolina Stream Void created during processing of LIDAR Void created due to surface water Page 4 of 6 January 2003
5 What Digital Elevation Data Products Can Users Generate? Bare earth mass points and break lines can be used to create a representation of the ground surface called a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN). This page depicts two visual examples of the same mass points shown on page 4. If only the mass points are converted into a TIN, the following surface is created. Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN): Set of adjacent, non-overlapping triangles computed from irregularly spaced points with x/y coordinates and z-values. Geometric View of a TIN (Hillshaded by Elevation) Created Without Break Lines The natural undulations along the shorelines make this TIN appear as though water will not flow through the areas shown in red, orange, and yellow. Break lines (shorelines digitized from an orthophotograph in the following example) are represented in the TIN below along with an estimated stream centerline. This TIN is created using computer software from mass points and three-dimensional (3-D) break lines, which are available on FMIS. 3-D break lines are obtained by assigning z-values to 2-D break lines using elevation data (e.g., field surveyed cross sections). Geometric View of a TIN (Hillshaded by Elevation) Created With Break Lines Shorelines Stream Centerline The State s program is not creating contour maps. Contours can be developed from any elevation dataset. However, users are cautioned that the accuracy of a contour map depends on the elevation data used. Page 5 of 6 January 2003
6 Acronyms and Definitions* Bare Earth: Digital elevation data of the terrain, free from vegetation, buildings, and other man-made structures. Elevations of the ground. Break Line: A linear feature that describes a change in smoothness or continuity of a surface. Contours: Lines of equal elevation on a surface. An imaginary line on the ground, all points of which are at the same elevation above or below a specified reference surface. Datum: Any quantity or set of such quantities that may serve as a basis for calculation of other quantities. For digital elevation data produced under the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program, the horizontal datum (i.e., coordinate system in which horizontal control points are located) is the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and the vertical datum (i.e., set of constants defining a height system) is the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). DEM (Digital Elevation Model): A popular acronym used as a generic term for digital topographic and/or bathymetric data in all its various forms, but most often bare earth elevations at regularly spaced intervals in x and y directions. Regularly spaced elevation data are easily and efficiently processed in a variety of computer uses. DTM (Digital Terrain Model): Similar to DEMs, but they may incorporate the elevation of significant topographic features on the land and mass points and break lines that are irregularly spaced to better characterize the true shape of the bare earth terrain. FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map): An official map of a community on which FEMA has delineated the flood hazard areas and the risk premium zones. GIS (Geographic Information System): A system of spatially referenced information, including computer programs that store, manipulate, analyze, and display spatial data. GPS (Global Positioning System): Technology that computes the three-dimensional position in space, for example the LIDAR sensor, using satellites. H&H (Hydrologic & Hydraulic): The modeling of rainfall runoff (hydrology), providing peak discharges, and the resulting flow within a channel (hydraulics), which provides a profile of water surface elevations. Digital elevation data are used for H&H analyses. Hillshade: A function used to create an illuminated representation of a surface, using a hypothetical light source, to enhance visualization effects. IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit): Technology that computes the roll, pitch, and heading of a moving object, for example a LIDAR sensor. LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): An instrument that measures distance to a reflecting object by emitting timed pulses of laser light and measuring the time between emission and reception of reflected pulses. The measured time interval is converted to distance. Mass Points: Irregularly spaced points, each with x/y location coordinates and z-value, typically (but not always) used to form a TIN. When generated by LIDAR, mass point spacing and pattern depend upon the characteristics of the technologies used to acquire the data and remove vegetation and man-made structures. RMSE (Root Mean Square Error): An accuracy assessment for measured data (e.g., LIDAR) calculated by taking the square root of the average of the set of squared differences between dataset values (i.e., LIDAR derived elevations versus field surveyed elevations). TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network): A set of adjacent, non-overlapping triangles computed from irregularly spaced points with x/y coordinates and z-values. A TIN model may be preferable to a DEM when it is critical to preserve the location of narrow or small surface features such as a stream channel or ridge line. Vegetation Removal: Correction of surface elevations so as to depict the elevation of the bare earth terrain beneath the vegetation and man-made structures. Voids: Portions of a digital elevation dataset where no elevation data are available. * From Appendix A & B, Digital Elevation Model Technologies and Applications: The DEM Users Manual, by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Bethesda, Maryland, Page 6 of 6 January 2003
