2015 Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) Oregon Lidar DEM: Upper Rogue 3DEP

Quantum Spatial collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the Oregon LiDAR Consortium (OLC) Upper Rogue 2015 study area. The collection of high resolution geographic data is part of an ongoing pursuit to amass a library of information accessible to government agencies as well as the general public.

LiDAR data acquisition occurred between March 12 and October 12, 2015 and covered 1,397,140 acres. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter.

Final products created include lidar point cloud data, three foot digital elevation models of highest hit and bare earth ground models, 1.5 foot intensity rasters, study area vector shapes, and corresponding statistical data. Final deliverables were projected in Oregon Statewide Lambert Conformal Conic. This metadata was created for the bare earth digital elevation models.

Vertical accuracy statistical analysis uses ground survey points in open areas where the LiDAR system has a "very high probability" that the sensor will measure the ground surface and is evaluated at the 95th percentile. For the OLC Upper Rogue study area, a total of 14,623 GSPs were collected and used for calibration of the LiDAR data. An additional 773 reserved ground survey points were collected for independent verification, resulting in a non-vegetated vertical accuracy (NVA) of 0.091 meters, or 0.297 feet.

For more information about the vertical accuracy, please refer to the final report, listed above in the Supplemental_Information field

of this metadata record.

; Quantitative Value: 0.091 meters, Test that produced the value: Tested to meet FVA at a 95 percent confidence level in meters.

LiDAR data has been collected and processed for all areas within the project study area.

Upon receipt from vendor (Quantum Spatial), all LiDAR data was independently reviewed by staff from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) to ensure project specifications were met. All data were inventoried for completeness and data were checked for quality, which included examining LiDAR data for errors associated with internal data consistency, model quality, and accuracy.
