Light Detection and Ranging
In July of 2013, lightning strikes ignited three wildfires in southwest Oregon that became known as the Big Windy Complex. The fires were fully contained by the end of September after burning 27,555 acres of land owned by the Bureau of Land Management and protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry.
WSI has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the BLM Fires study area for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Oregon LiDAR Consortium's BLM Fires area of interest (AOI) encompasses approximately 123,340 acres in Curry, Douglas and Jefferson counties in Oregon. The entire AOI lies within the Rogue River LiDAR dataset collected in 2012.
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.
Between September 26 and October 23, 2013, WSI employed remote-sensing lasers in order to obtain a total area flown of 127,340 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, one meter digital elevation models of bare earth ground model and highest-hit returns, intensity rasters, ground density rasters, orthophotos, 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.
