        abstract:  The dataset encompasses 276 square miles in portions of Lower Malheur Counties, Oregon. The highest hit digital surface models (DSM) represent the earth's surface with all vegetation and human-made structures included. The highest hit DSMs were derived from lidar data using TIN processing of the all-return point cloud. The bare earth digital elevation model (DEM) represents the earth's surface with all vegetation and human-made structures removed. The bare earth DEMs were derived from lidar data using TIN processing of the ground point returns. The DSM and DEM grid cell size is 3 feet. The projection is Oregon Statewide Lambert Conformal Conic, units are in International Feet. The horizontal datum is NAD83 (2011) and vertical datum is NAVD88 (Geoid 12A). Some elevation values have been interpolated across areas in the models where there is no elevation data (e.g. over water, over dense vegetation). Watershed Sciences, Inc. collected the lidar and created this data set for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).
        purpose:  This dataset provides high resolution terrain elevation and land cover elevation data in the OLC Lower Malheur project area.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  Watershed Sciences analysis of vertical accuracy (in the data report) states that 2296 measured GCP's were obtained in the OLC Lower Malheur 2015 LIDAR Project area and were compared with the lidar elevation grids. The data delivered to DOGAMI was found to have a mean vertical offset of -0.002 meters (-0.007 feet) and an RMSE value of 0.02 meters (0.07 feet). Offset values ranged from -0.16 meters (-0.52 feet) to 0.07 meters (0.21 feet). DOGAMI conducted an independent accuracy assessment with 956 GCPs and reported "The data delivered to DOGAMI was found to have a mean vertical offset of -0.04 meters (-0.13 feet) and an RMSE value of 0.06 meters (0.18 feet).

            statement:  Watershed Sciences Inc. has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data in the Milton-Freewater Study Area for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). NOAA OCM has taken the data and ingested it into the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer for distribution.
            processStep:  (LI_ProcessStep)
                description:  Acquisition. Lidar data acquisition was conducted from March 21st to April 09th, 2015. The survey utilized a Leica ALS 70 laser system mounted in a Cessna 208. Scan angles near nadir were used to increase penetration of vegetation to ground surfaces. Ground level GPS and aircraft IMU were collected during the flight.

            processStep:  (LI_ProcessStep)
                description:  Processing. 1. TRAJECTORY: Aircraft trajectory (position and attitude) were calculated based on on-board GPS and IMU data with post-processing refinement through coincident static GPS collection. 2. POST-PROCESSING: Laser point return coordinates (x,y,z) were computed using sensor-specific post processing software, combining LiDAR return range and intensity information with aircraft trajectory information. 3. INITIAL QAQC: The post-processed LiDAR files were assembled into flight lines and reviewed for gaps and consistency, as well as systematic noise. 4. CALIBRATION: Custom algorithms evaluated individual swaths for misalignments based on IMU configuration as well as aircraft attitude variability. Offsets were resolved through surface and linear matching algorithms that minimize variability in elevation and slope. Descriptive statistics, thresholds, and specifications providing transparency for data calibration are discussed in the accompanying Data Report. 5. GROUND MODELING: Ground classified point cloud was generated through proprietary data processing tools, with settings and thresholds appropriate to landscape and vegetation condition. 6. ARTIFACT FILTRATION: Noise and processing artifacts were filtered using post-processing software and proprietary quality control methods. 7. ACCURACY ASSESSMENT: Vertical accuracy for the LiDAR dataset was assessed against Ground Check Points (GCP) distributed throughout the study area. See the accompanying Data Report for methodology, descriptive statistics, and relevant standards and reporting language. 8. DATA PRODUCT: LiDAR points classified as 'ground' were output as a digital elevation model (DEM).
