A georeferenced, polygonal representation of the detailed extents of each lidar swath collected, as a GIS layer. The goal is a set of polygons that define the area actually covered by the swaths, not merely the points collected in the swaths.
The extents shall be those of the actual coverage of the collected swath, exclusive of peripheral TIN artifacts:
Minimum bounding rectangles or simplified rectangles are not acceptable.
The boundary will generally follow the overall shape of the swath.
The entire section above to be replaced with:
A georeferenced, polygonal representation of the detailed extents of each lidar swath collected, as a GIS layer.
The extents shall represent coverage of the collected flight line swath.
Minimum bounding rectangles are not acceptable.
The boundary will generally follow the overall shape of the swath and shall not be fragmented except in areas where voids are permitted (for example, where caused by waterbodies).
Swath polygon feature shall not include extents of data collected during aircraft transit to or from project area or in turns between flight lines.
