OLC Willamette Valley 2023 Lidar Point Cloud
vector
Product: These lidar data are processed Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to 3000 ft x 3000 ft tiles; used to create intensity images, Bare Earth DEMs, and Highest Hit DSMs.
Geographic Extent: Benton, Lane, Linn, Marion and Polk Counties, Oregon, covering approximately 426,859 acres.
Dataset Description: The OLC Willamette Valley 2023 Lidar project called for the planning, acquisition, processing and production of derivative products of the lidar data and was to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.22 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Lidar Base Specification 2020, Revision A. The native projection is Oregon Lambert Conic Conformal, units are in International feet. The native horizontal datum is NAD83(2011); the native vertical datum is NAVD88; (Geoid 18). Lidar data was delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to individual 3000 ft x 3000 ft tiles, intensity images, bare earth DEMs, and highest hit DSMs; all tiled to the same 3000 ft x 3000 ft schema and mosaicked.
Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected on July 21 and July 22, 2023 while no snow was on the ground and the area was free of cloud cover and the area was free of cloud cover.

Classified LAS files were tested by NV5 Geospatial for vertical accuracy. All data is seamless from one tile to the next, no gaps or no data areas.
These LAS data files include all data points collected. No points have been removed or excluded. A visual qualitative assessment was performed to ensure data completeness. No void areas or missing data exist. The raw point cloud is of good quality and data passes Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy specifications.
This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standard for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10-cm RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. The NVA was tested with 48 independent check points located in open terrain and distributed throughout the project as feasible. These check points were not used in the calibration or post processing of the lidar point cloud data. Specifications for this project require that the NVA be 0.196 meters or better AccuracyZ at 95% confidence level.
Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) is also to be computed from the classified las. The VVA was tested with 41 check points in tall grass, forest, and shrub land cover types. These check points were also withheld from the calibration and post processing of the lidar point cloud data and distributed throughout the project area as feasible. Specifications for this project require that the VVA be 0.300 meters or better AccuracyZ at the 95th percentile.

The 48 independent NVA check points were surveyed using the closed level loop technique. Elevations interpolated from the classified lidar surface were compared to the elevation values of the surveyed NVA check points. The RMSE was computed to be 0.152 feet (0.046 meters) resulting in an AccuracyZ at the 95% confidence level of 0.174 feet (0.053 meters). NVA AccuracyZ has been tested and meets the required 0.196 meter NVA at 95% confidence level using (RMSEz * 1.9600) for the classified lidar point cloud as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) and herein reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines.
0.476
The 41 independent VVA check points were surveyed using the closed level loop technique. Elevations interpolated from the classified lidar surface were compared to the elevation values of the surveyed VVA check points. The RMSE was computed to be 0.1.562 feet (0.476 meters) resulting in an AccuracyZ at the 95% confidence level of 1.293 feet (0.394 meters). VVA AccuracyZ has been tested and meets the required 0.300 meter VVA at 95% confidence level using (RMSEz * 1.9600) for the classified lidar point cloud as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) and herein reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines.

OLC Willamette Valley 2023 Lidar Ground Survey Points
These data were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the lidar point cloud data.
Lidar Pre-Processing:
1. Review flight lines and data to ensure complete coverage of the study area and positional accuracy of the laser points.
2. Resolve kinematic corrections for aircraft position data using kinematic aircraft GPS and static ground GPS data.
3. Develop a smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) file that blends post-processed aircraft position with sensor head position and attitude recorded throughout the survey.
4. Calculate laser point position by associating SBET position to each laser point return time, scan angle, intensity, etc. Create raw laser point cloud data for the entire survey in *.las format. Convert data to orthometric elevations by applying a Geoid 18 correction.
5. Import raw laser points into manageable blocks to perform manual relative accuracy calibration and filter erroneous points. Classify ground points for individual flight lines.
6. Using ground classified points per each flight line, test the relative accuracy. Perform automated line-to-line calibrations for system attitude parameters (pitch, roll, heading), mirror flex (scale) and GPS/IMU drift. Calculate calibrations on ground classified points from paired flight lines and apply results to all points in a flight line. Use every flight line for relative accuracy calibration.
7. Adjust the point cloud by comparing ground classified points to supplemental ground control points.
