WSI, a Quantum Spatial company, has collected lidar data for the Oregon LiDAR Consortium (OLC) Crooked Ochoco study area. This study area is adjacent to the Ochoco study area delivered July 31, 2013. The northwestern section of Crooked Ochoco was acquired before snow fell in the study area at the end of 2013. Acquisition of the remaining areas was completed in summer 2014. 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 September and December 2013, and May and June 2014, WSI employed lidar in order to obtain a total area flown of 159,270 acres. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter.
September flights utilized a Leica ALS 50 sensor mounted in a Piper Navajo. December flights utilized a Leica ALS 70 sensor mounted in a Cessna Caravan. May 2014 flights used a Leica ALS 60 sensor mounted in a Cessna Caravan and the June 2014 flights used Leica ALS 70 sensor in a Partenavia P68.
Final products included lidar point cloud data, one-meter digital elevation models of bare earth ground model and highest-hit returns, intensity 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.
