        abstract:  This data set is a high resolution data set of lidar covering the total task order area (approximately 885 square miles) in southeast Oregon. The lidar data was acquired and processed under the requirements identified in this task order. The data delivered in this task order is compliant with US. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Lidar Base Specification Version 1.2. Lidar data is a remotely sensed high resolution elevation data collected by an airborne platform. The lidar sensor uses a combination of laser range finding, GPS positioning, and inertial measurement technologies. The lidar systems collect data point clouds that are used to produce highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures, and vegetation. The task required the LiDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.35 meters. The final products include classified LAS, 0.5 meter pixel raster DEMs of the bare-earth surface in ERDAS IMG Format, and Intensity data in TIFF format. Tiled data was delivered in 1500m x 1500m tiles. Each LAS file contains lidar point information, which has been calibrated, controlled, and classified. Additional deliverables include hydrologic breakline data, bridge abutment breaklines, control data, project boundary, and tile index provided as ESRI shapefile, lidar processing and survey reports in PDF format, FGDC metadata files for each data deliverable in .xml format, and LAS swath data. Ground conditions: Water at normal levels; no unusual inundation; no snow; leaf off. FEMA HQ Malheur, OR QL1 Lidar 0.35m NPS Lidar Data Acquisition and Processing Production Task USGS Contract No. G10PC00057 Task Order No. G15PD00642 Woolpert Order No. 75818 Contractor: Woolpert, Inc. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  Data is used for mapping to assist in geologic hazards mapping such as landslide hazard maps.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  LAS data covering the FEMA HQ Malheur, OR QL1 Lidar Task Order was compared to independent survey control points to determine the NVA of the Raw Swath and of the Bare-Earth DEM. In addition, this LAS data was compared to independent VVA points. Raw Swath Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) Tested 0.096 Meters at a 95 percent confidence level, derived according to NSSDA, in open terrain using (RMSEz) x 1.96000 as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines and tested against the TIN using all points. Relative accuracy also known as "between swath" accuracy was tested through a series of well distributed flight line overlap locations. The relative accuracy for the FEMA HQ Malheur, OR QL1 Lidar tested at 0.024 meters RMSDz. 106 NVA checkpoints were used. VVA Errors larger than 95th percentile include: Point 3026A, Easting 498042.052, Northing 4742435.108, Z-Error 0.182 Meters Point 3028, Easting 477766.450, Northing 4776987.527, Z-Error 0.148 Meters Point 3031A, Easting 453424.625, Northing 4745041.067, Z-Error 0.147 Meters Point 3036A, Easting 496091.977, Northing 4784616.171, Z-Error 0.170 Meters

                description:  All lidar data were acquired using a Dual-Head DragonEye (DE) sensor owned and operated by GDS installed in a Cessna 401. The sensor was mounted in a Leica PAV100 gyro-stabilized mount integrated with a NovAtel SPAN GNSS and LCI-100C IMU. Real time navigation and GNSS/IMU data logging was provided by Leica FlightPro software. Lidar data were logged on the Airborne Hydrography, AB (AHAB) operator console. A calibration flight was conducted at Nampa Airport, ID on 30 March, 2016. Project data were acquired from 23 March 2016 until 09 April, 2016. Some blocks remained snow covered at this time. Once the snow had cleared, calibration flights were conducted at Nampa Airport, ID on 08 and 09 June, 2016, with the final survey data being acquired on 10 June and 15 June, 2016. Field calibration of the DE system is carried out to eliminate systematic errors by calculating corrections for boresight errors, scanner angle errors, remaining IMU angle errors and any necessary internal timing errors. Initial data coverage analysis and quality checks were performed to ensure there were no potential system issues were carried out in the field prior to demobilization of the sensor. Data were initially processed in Leica’s Lidar Survey Studio (LSS) using final processed trajectory information. LAS files from LSS were imported to a Terrascan project where spatial algorithms were used to remove gross system noise and a basic ground classification was conducted per flight line for Terra Match use. TMatch was then run on the project, and a comparison to the lidar control points was conducted. This calibrated/controlled LAS dataset was then provided to Woolpert for further processing and deliverable production.

                description:  Woolpert utilized 2 Trimble Navigation R10 Model GNSS dual-frequency GPS receivers and 1 TSC3 data collector for this project. The field crew utilized Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and GPS Rapid Static methods throughout the ground control data collection process. Using these techniques, observations were performed on a total of 244 LiDAR control points. The survey was conducted using a 1-second epoch rate, in a fixed solution RTK mode, with each observation lasting between 60 to 180 seconds. Each station was occupied twice to insure the necessary horizontal and vertical accuracies were being met for this LiDAR / photogrammetric project.

                description:  Once calibration of the flightline data was completed by GDS the data was then provided to Woolpert. The point cloud underwent a classification process to determine bare-earth points and non-ground points utilizing "first and only" as well as "last of many" lidar returns. This process determined Default (Class 1), Ground (Class 2), Low Noise (Class 7), Water (Class 9), Ignored Ground (Class 10), Bridge Decks (Class 17) and High Noise (Class 18). The bare-earth (Class 2 - Ground) lidar points underwent a manual QA/QC step to verify the quality of the DEM as well as a peer-based QC review. This included a review of the DEM surface to remove artifacts and ensure topographic quality. Classification of water (class 9) and ignored ground (class 10) was completed via the use of the hydrologic breaklines collected for the hydro-flattening phase. The overlap classes were determined by first identifying the overlapping areas and reclassifying the LAS data by offset from a corridor. This allows the returns located on the edge of the swath to be removed from the bare earth coverage in an effort to produce a more uniform data density. The returns determined to be overlap including overlap default, ground, water, and ignored ground are then applied an overlap flag and reclassified to their respective standard classification value. Supervisory QC monitoring of work in progress and completed editing ensured consistency of classification character and adherence to project requirements across the entire project area. The resulting deliverables for this task order consist of classified LAS file in LAS 1.4 format, Raw Swath LAS files in LAS 1.4 format, 0.5 meter pixel size DEM files in ERDAS IMG format, 8-bit Intensity files in GeoTIFF format, Hydrologic and Bridge abutment breakline data in ESRI Geodatabase format.
