2014 Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) Oregon Lidar: Four Rivers

WSI has completed the acquisition and processing of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and Four-Band Radiometric Image Enhanced Survey (FRIES) of the Oregon LiDAR Consortiums's (OLC) Four Rivers Delivery Area Two, for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DoGAMI). The OLC's Four Rivers study area encompasses 470,160 acres; Delivery Area One encompasses 80,071 acres, and Delivery Area Two encompasses 390,089 acres. 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 collection began on September 10, 2014 and was completed on June 16, 2015. Delivery Area One LiDAR was acquired between September 9, 2014 and October 10, 2014. Delivery Area Two was acquired between October 10, 2014 and October 28, 2014, and the following year between March 17, 2015 and June 16, 2015. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter. Orthophoto acquisition occurred between August 28, 2014 and September 4, 2014.

Final products created include LiDAR point cloud data, three-foot digital elevation models of bare earth ground model and highest-hit returns, 1.5 foot intensity rasters, 6-inch orthophotos, ground density rasters, study area vector shapes, and corresponding statistical data. Final deliverables were projected in Oregon Statewide Lambert Conformal Conic. Lidar point clouds were projected back to geographic coordinates for storage in the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.

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 Four Rivers Delivery Area Two study area, 4,763 GSPs were collected; a total of 5,452 GSPs were collected for the entire Four River study area. No independent survey data were collected, thus statistics are "Compiled to Meet".

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: 0.02 meters, Test that produced the value: Compiled to meet root mean square error.

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

Upon receipt from vendor (WSI), 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.
