2008 Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) Lidar: Ontario

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
The Oregon Department of Geology & Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) contracted with Watershed Sciences, Inc. to collect high resolution topographic lidar data for multiple areas within the State of Oregon. The areas for lidar collection have been designed as part of a collaborative effort of state, federal, and local agencies in order to meet a wide range of project goals. The Camp Creek study area was collected December 3 - 10, 2008 and covers a portion of northeastern Malheur County. The total flown area covers 261 square miles, or 167,324 acres. This data set consists of bare earth and unclassified points. There are approximately 8 points per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. In some areas of heavy vegetation or forest cover, there may be relatively few ground points in the lidar data. Elevation values for open water surfaces are not valid elevation values because few lidar points are returned from water surfaces. Lidar intensity values were also collected.

Use limitation statement:
These data depict the elevations at the time of the survey and are only accurate for that time. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations. Any conclusions drawn from analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA or any of its partners. These data are NOT to be used for navigational purposes.

Use Limitation
While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.

Resource lineage description
AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy
name Of Measure Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
evaluation Method Description  Horizontal accuracies were not specified in the agreement since true horizontal accuracy is regarded as a product of the LiDAR ground foot print. LiDAR is referenced to co-acquired GPS base station data that has accuracies far greater than the value of the LiDAR foot print. The ground footprint is equal to 1/3333rd of above ground flying height. Survey altitude for this acquisition was targeted at 900 meters yielding a ground foot print of 0.27 meters. This value exceeds the typical accuracy value of ground control used to reference the LiDAR data (less than 0.01 m). Project specifications required the LiDAR foot print to fall within 0.15 and 0.40 meters.
AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy
name Of Measure Vertical Positional Accuracy Report
evaluation Method Description  Based on 2175 RTK points, the absolute vertical accuracy for this data set is 3.05 cm (0.10 ft) RMSE (Root Mean Square Error).
Completeness Commission
evaluation Method Description  LiDAR data has been collected and processed for all areas within the project study area.
ConceptualConsistency
measure Description  Upon receipt from vendor (Watershed Sciences), all LiDAR data was independently reviewed by staff from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) to ensure project specifications were met. All data were inventoried for completeness and data were checked for quality, which included examining LiDAR data for errors associated with internal data consistency, model quality, and accuracy.
