DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SOLUTION C.1.) TECHNICAL APPROACH DETAIL C.1.a.) AERIAL DATA ACQUISITION Our acquisition crew will be mobilized to an airport within or near the project site. The defined project limit will have a minimum buffer zone and our flight crew will collect the imagery data to the full range of the buffer zone. Data and products in the buffer will be tested for any quality control requirement. Prior to any acquisition, our crew will verify that the airborne sensor settings are set to acquire the required data. Also, our flight crew will operate the sensors during optimal atmospheric condition with prime PDOP condition (less than 3) and satellite network configuration greater than 6 active satellites (viewed by both stationary and roving receivers). DMI will not proceed with any acquisition until consent is received from the City and all requirements prior to acquisition have been met.

FLIGHT MISSION PLANNING DMI believes successful data acquisition starts with proper mission planning. DMI’s mission planning team has years of experience in flight planning, resource allocation, and task scheduling necessary for this mission. This includes a step-by-step plan of the required flight lines to acquire required datasets. DMI utilizes the newly designed mission planning software Leica Mission Planning to implement and manage the aerial mission. This program is a comprehensive reporting, mission planning, and post-processing tool that provides DMI innovative solutions for our aerial processes. The utilization of these flight planning software allows us to view the project coverage area and the published flight lines in their appropriate coordinate system. DMI will provide the City with a proposed flight map to be used for the project during the kick off meeting. DMI will then make any adjustments that the City’s request. DMI’s project manager will then finalize the flight plan in SHP or KMZ format during the pre-planning stages of the project. Prior to receiving our notice to proceed, DMI will provide the final flight plans to the City for a final evaluation and approval. A preliminary flight plan and control layout is included on the following page as part of this submittal. Section C: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SOLUTION November 30, 2023 8 City of Bozeman RFP: Digital Orthoimagery And Lidar Acquisition Page-8 3 Inch Imagery and QL1 LiDAR Draft Flight Plan 73 flight line, 38 HV Ground Control Points Section C: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SOLUTION November 30, 2023 9 City of Bozeman RFP: Digital Orthoimagery And Lidar Acquisition Page-9 C.1.e.) DATASET POST-PROCESSING C.1.e.i.) ABGPS/IMU POST-PROCESSING Our technicians process the GPS data using our post-processing program, Applanix’s POSPac, in order to calculate the high-accuracy kinematic solution trajectory of our aircrafts. The trajectory is combined with the IMU data for a position as a whole and location solution. Using geodetic algorithms, the finished solution is then combined to the location and orientation to develop the end result X, Y, Z position for each pulse return measured by the GPS receiver. We also use Applanix’s SmartBase technology, which in turn joins a filter approach to combine the GPS receiver’s raw data with IMU data. SmartBase allows us to process the raw observables from a minimum of six to a maximum of fifty unremittingly operational GPS reference stations, contiguous to the trajectory. SmartBase’s quality control tool accomplishes a network modification on all the baselines and reference stations, we also run quality checks for single reference stations. C.1.e.ii.) IMAGE POST-PROCESSING DMI’s Z/I post-processing units designed in conjunction with the flight management system, are utilized to convert from raw sensor patterns into finished R,G,B, IR images, which have been specifically intended to extract high detail with few image artifacts and aliasing patterns. The first step is taking the raw images and downloading the data using our Z/I post-processing program to our servers. Then the imagery is tested to see if the data has any inconsistency such as misfires, clouds, or ground conditions. Our technicians will create two back-ups of all the raw imagery data and we analyze the PAN, RGB, and IR bands to assure the quality of the post processed raw images. If any errors are found, it will be flagged and either re-processed or re-flown. The completed raw processed images will be reviewed to ensure the matching quality and color balance throughout the project. C.1.f.) AERIAL TRIANGULATION (AT) Once our technicians have completed post-processing the raw images and ABGS and IMU data, DMI will apply the latest digital photogrammetric methodology using our ISAT Intergraph Image Station for a complete a FAAAT to meet or exceed ASPRS and NSSDA accuracy standards. FAAAT is an improvement of conventional aerial triangulation whereas airborne GPS and IMU data are used or the direct measurement of the position and orientation of every exposure in the photogrammetric block. DMI expects for a substantial number of points to be produced throughout the photo to increase accuracy through redundancy, this method of increased density of points, will at slightest, be equal to what can be attained with an analytical triangulation process. The data will result in highly reliable automatic tie point and pass point measurements because the directly observed exterior orientation data prevents divergence of the solution. The FAAAT process improves upon conventional or manual aerial triangulation by providing numerous automated and manual tie points and pass points. DMI will measure a minimum of 6 tie points and 15 pass points in each frame to tie single models together along a flight strip. All selected pass point locations will lie on un-obscured level ground, wherever topographic conditions permit. Particular attention will be taken in consideration with the selection of natural tie points as pass points. Additional effort will be made to avoid the placement of pass points in areas of very bright background that could render a pass point unusable (not locatable) on the orthophoto. By using the image association method, which is both automatic and manual, we will achieve final point sub-pixel measurements. By appointing each point a unique number, individual digital frames and frame locations are assigned a point. Each block will be continually joined together with the assortment of tie pass points along their individual borders with contiguous blocks. Visual examination of the density and distribution of the tie or pass points are performed and discrepancies will be reported for correction and adjustment. It is recognized that deviation from the ideal distribution AT Pass & Tie Points AT RMSE Check AT Ground Control Check Section C: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SOLUTION November 30, 2023 10 City of Bozeman RFP: Digital Orthoimagery And Lidar Acquisition Page-10 may be necessary for photographs covering bodies of water and areas of heavy ground cover. Tie points between strips will occur with a frequency of at least one per frame. For increased accuracy of the fully assisted automatic aerial triangulation, the utilization of ABGPS and IMU technologies will assist by delivering highly precise exterior orientation parameters while delivering quality and dependable exterior orientation parameter results. All aerial triangulation tests will be performed by our technicians and endorsed by our project manager. C.1.f.i.) IMAGE GROUND CONTROL POINT MEASUREMENT In order to accomplish the image ground control point measurements, this requires a succession of phases, starting with measurement of each surveyed ground control points in every image, which is beneficial for adjustment purposes. Using ISAT, our technicians assist in generating tying points amongst the frames, a manual evaluation is completed after ensuring the correct density and distribution of tie points. Any areas or images with less than the targeted total density of approximately 100 measurements per frame will be evaluated. If necessary, we will auto-generate or manually measure additional points for low-density areas besides tremendously low texture areas and water bodies. Remaining points in water bodies are manually removed, during our meticulous review methods. This project will be viewed in multiple blocks, thus allowing our technicians to measure shared points in the overlapped regions of separate blocks. For a complete and unblemished orthomosaic, each of the adjusted values for the points must be reviewed in order to have a unified transition over the block boundaries. To ensure top quality mosaics, this approach has been applied to past projects with as many as 100 contiguous aerial triangulation blocks. C.1.f.ii.) BUNDLE ADJUSTMENT Large least squares adjustment is utilized repetitively first to assess the reliability, status of image point measurements, and the overall quality of the finalized exterior orientations, consequently ensuring that the requirements of the final deliverable will be met. Ground control coordinates, image measurements, calibrated camera model parameters, and initial exterior orientation values are entered in the bundle adjustment. Our technicians will perform a modification with surveyed ground control points by assessing the association between captured imagery data and individually surveyed ground control coordinates after the initial bundle adjustment. After each bundle adjustment, we will evaluate all residuals between control points and tie points and compare the computed coordinates of any additional existing checkpoints with surveyed coordinates. Statistical breakdown of the error propagation and correctness of the subsequent imagery will be executed with meticulous quality control evaluations. C.1.f.iii.) AERIAL TRIANGULATION REPORT DMI will deliver to the City an aerial triangulation report for every completed triangulation block; this will comprise of a debriefing of applied procedures, technologies, and results. The report will also contain duplicates of triangulation input and output, displaying triangulation point allowances, remaining errors, and general block RMSE. Included in the aerial triangulation report will also be the ABGPS locations, quality control checkpoint outcomes, certification of control points, POS exterior orientation data, survey points, control layout, and documentation of additional relevant data. The following will be contained in the final triangulation report: Section C: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SOLUTION November 30, 2023 11 City of Bozeman RFP: Digital Orthoimagery And Lidar Acquisition Page-11  A rudimentary account of the project comprising of airborne GPS remarks and results, flight planning, aerial imagery, & ground control.  Geodetic commentary containing the utilization of a local rectangular system.  An executive summary of the aerial triangulation results.  Input final coordinate data to an excel spreadsheet.  A narrative explanation of all facets of the assisted automatic aerial triangulation and aerial triangulation bundle block adjustments.  Control, flight line indexes, equipment, and software information Outcomes of the preliminary check point modification, classification of the aerial triangulation regarding correctness, and the bundle block adjustment. C.1.g.) DIGITAL ORTHOPHOTOGRAPHY C.1.g.i.) ORTHO-RECTIFICATION Orthorectification process involves utilizing automated DEM (or newly collected LiDAR), triangulated exterior orientations, aerial imagery data, calibrated camera model parameters, and controls. The utilization of ABGPS and IMU data will offer support for image orientation and positioning, minimizing the required number of ground control points and enabling the creation of an orthophoto. This process will assist in removing horizontal displacement produced by terrain height disparity, camera-based distortions, and the earth’s curvature. Imagery will be orthorectified using ImageStation’s OrthoPro, which provides a 3D photogrammetric space. The rectified imagery will be color, contrast, and tone balanced; the imagery will also be edge-matched to adjacent images using manual image processing techniques. By choosing optimal positions of the rectified images, our technicians will combine images seamlessly with no apparent edges or breaks in feature geometry. To minimize tonal differences between combined areas, localized modification of the brightness values will be achieved as needed. The referenced orthophoto shall visually have better contrast and will be used for adjustment purposes. Localized brightness values of the adjacent orthophoto will be fine-tuned to the reference orthophoto. The adjusted area will be restricted by tonal radiometric modification, which will not compromise the clarity, accuracy, and resolution of the orthophoto if possible. DMI will develop a digital orthophoto pilot area prior to commencement of the entire project. C.1.g.ii.) MOSAICING Using ImageStation, OrthoPro, and Geomedia allows us to create complete mosaic by processing image blocks using two separate tonal corresponding functions. Each image is processed to remove any hotspots in the middle of the frame. DMI’s technicians will then review each frame thoroughly and perform a histogram comparison process so that there is seamless tone throughout the mosaic images. After radiometric balancing, we will generate manual and automatic seam lines between source frames. To generate seamless orthophoto data that is fixed across the project area, seam lines need to be adjusted in order to deliver a successful transition from one image to another for the desired project tiling scheme. This can be accomplished by utilizing a combined method of manual and automated practice for high-quality imagery. This method has proven to be cost effective while delivering excellent results. DMI will utilize automatic seamline creation for rural areas, which is ideal for producing mosaics. Our technicians analyze and manually alter seam lines that have features showing continuity, usually executing manual seam line placement in urban areas to deliver precision of high-quality imagery. Tonal matching is accomplished by comparing pixel values in all the images areas, which contain the overlap. Our software reviews and modifies each image so that we can achieve an overall unison tone throughout the project. The image mosaics will be produced in such a manner so Seamline Creation Orthophoto Mosaic Section C: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SOLUTION November 30, 2023 12 City of Bozeman RFP: Digital Orthoimagery And Lidar Acquisition Page-12 that adjacent mosaics can be viewed together simultaneously, and with no overlap areas, obscuring any portion of the adjacent mosaics. C.1.g.iii.) ORTHOPHOTO QUALITY CRITERIA C.1.h.) LIDAR DATA PROCESSING Figure 1. LiDAR Process Overview Radiometry Balance: When combining two or more images for a mosaic, the color values and brightness will be fine- tuned to balance that of the main image, thus reducing radiometric dissimilarities between combined areas. The color balance of the project will be gradual and no sudden tonal differences between image files will be found. To minimize tonal variations, the seam lines between the overlapping images must be selected. Edge Matching: There will be no excessive horizontal displacement along seamlines or at image file boundaries. We will also ensure transportation features or well-defined linear features to meet the ASPRS standard for maps. Bridges and Overpasses: DMI will assess the actual ground heights neighboring to the area beneath the bridge and insert the height of the latter in order to orthorectify the bridges and overpasses. The utilization of ground control points can sometimes be used, the overpasses and bridges will not be signified as offsetting or drooping, and imagery that depicts underlying features that retain their correct ground location and geometry in the digital orthophotography. Feature Lean/Buildings: DMI’s technicians use the center area “sweet spot” of the image to create the orthophoto, in order to decrease the degree of lean in conjunction to the ground features being hidden and minimizing irregularities resulting from differences in feature lean across seamlines. This will minimize radial distortion. Also, increased overlap will help assist us to minimize building lean and shadowing.

LIDAR DATA POST-PROCESSING After the data has been acquired, our technicians process the LiDAR, ABGPS/IMU, and base station data by using our Optech and Aplanix programs. We then calculate the high-accuracy kinematic solution trajectory of the aircraft with the use of both these programs. This trajectory solution data is joined with the IMU data for a complete position and orientation solution. Using geodetic algorithms to position and derive the resulting X, Y, and Z positions for each pulse returned, the laser ranging data is consequently merged. Section C: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SOLUTION November 30, 2023 14 City of Bozeman RFP: Digital Orthoimagery And Lidar Acquisition Page-14 By merging post-processed aircraft position with altitude data, this creates a smoothed and best estimate of trajectory (SBET). Each laser point is connected with the SBET location to generate the development of the point cloud, which is the 3-D assortment of all the LiDAR sensor pulses. LiDAR data is collected as flight line strips in LAS format to assist in the analysis, filtering, and classification of the data. These LAS files are created in the specified datum and final projection. This data will be reviewed before proceeding with the classifications (ground). C.1.h.ii.) LIDAR POST PROCESSING TOOLS DMI’s team will utilizes GeoCue, Optech, and Terrasolid LiDAR integration tools throughout the post-processing phase. These tools allow continuous workflow and project management during the entire project. Our technicians process the SBET-generated LiDAR flight lines, project boundary, and tile scheme. DMI’s technicians will launch Optech LMS to decode data, combine the trajectory, and range information to produce LAS point cloud. The point cloud is then examined to determine appropriate system calibration numbers on a mission-by-mission basis. The resulting calibrated flight line data are imported into a project utilizing TerraScan and our project management program GeoCue. Flight line by flight line, LAS files are tied to each other using TerraMatch. We then combine the various flight lines to create the project as whole, while breaking the dataset into manageable pieces. This process converts the dataset from geographic coordinates into the project coordinate system. Finally, LiDAR data is processed using TerraScan to remove vegetation and noise from the data. DMI’s technicians will utilize TerraModel to create the surface data and DEM. a. FLIGHT LINE VALIDATION DMI’s LiDAR technicians will review each flight line in detail for any potential errors that may have occurred during the processing phase. This process can be completed by using the LiDAR intensity image & color coded orthophoto images to assist in the QA/QC process. We will be able to separate and adjust vertical differences on different points between flight lines. DMI will be able to examine vertical overlap and color code to mark any difference between flight lines by using Geoue. The use of TerraMatch allows us to be able to determine and locate calibration points between flight lines. During this phase it allows DMI’s technicians to complete flight line calibration adjustments. The final TerraMatch adjustments are imported and the LiDAR tiles are created in GeoCue. The use of the LiDAR intensity image is used as an added QA/QC step throughout this process. b. CLASSIFICATIONS Our unique, cost effective, and time efficient stratagem for processing LiDAR will allow for streamlined productivity and on-time-scheduled deliveries. Using commercial software, our technicians will set parameters to automatically classify different categories for various terrain types. Settings allow for adjustment of parameters to customize acquisition of multiple categories of low, medium, and high vegetation, as well as flight line overlap points, ground points and noise points. DMI’s technicians also perform manual filtering to make sure important terrain data has not been filtered out. After tiles have been reviewed through our quality control process, we will complete one classification process to ensure the data is acceptable. Our LiDAR technicians use Geocue’s TerraModeler, Terrascan, and ArcGIS. The following programs assist our technicians to develop base earth creation, classification of data and manual revisions. Our technicians create point classifications and characteristics such as iteration and terrain angles. With detailed development of custom macros, our team has created standards during the processing phase. LAS Point classification will be consistent across the entire project. DMI will insure that there are no variations in the character, texture, or quality of the classification between tiles, swaths, lifts, or other non-natural division. c. LAS CLASSIFICATIONS QUALITY CONTROL DMI’s technicians utilize TerraScan and TerraModeler to manually review the LiDAR data to verify proper classification has been completed.
