NOAA
Quantum Spatial collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the Oregon LiDAR Consortium (OLC) McKenzie River study area. This study area is located near Eugene, Oregon. 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. In May and June 2016 QSI employed remote-sensing lasers in order to obtain a total area flown of 141,508 acres. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter. The LiDAR survey occurred between May 28 and June 21 of 2016, utilizing a Leica ALS80 mounted in a Cessna Grand Caravan. The systems were programmed to emit single pulses at around 189 kHz and flown at 1,500 m AGL, capturing a scan angle of 15 degrees from nadir. These settings were developed to yield points with an average native density of greater than eight pulses per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. Final products created include 6-inch orthophotos, RGB extracted (from NAIP imagery) LiDAR point cloud data, three foot digital elevation models of highest hit and bare earth ground models, 1.5 foot intensity rasters, 1.5 foot ground density, 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.
