Creating a Control Point Report

A control point report includes comparing each control point in the point feature class to the LIDAR surface from the active LIDAR Layer. The differences from the control point elevations and surface elevations are used to produce statistics such asRMSE_z for determination of the accuracy of the LIDAR surface.

The control point report will also allow you to perform x, y, and z measurements compared to the displayed check points or control points and report the results in the list. You can also calculate and display Delta Z values. The units contained in the Control Point Report are derived from the Control Point layer.
