        abstract:  Continental Mapping Consultants, Inc. (CMC) acquired LiDAR data and imagery for the Tualatin National Wildlife Refuge on May 15, 2012. The project area was expanded to include a 100m buffer around the area of interest to ensure complete coverage. The dataset encompasses 19.24 square miles in the Tualatin National Wildlife Refuge, Wapato, Oregon. The lidar was collected with a pulse density of 30-60 points per square meter. A Hyrdologically-conditioned, bare-earth digital elevation model (DEM) was created from this point data at 0.5 meter spatial resolution. Continental Mapping used co-mounted imagery and lidar sensors and a helicopter to acquire the data. Hydro break lines that were collected during the ground classification for flowing water greater than 100 feet wide, water bodies larger than 2 acres or 350 feet in diameter, and culvert polygons were used in conjunction with the bare earth LAS. Bare earth points that were within 1 foot proximity of a break line or polygon were buffered out of the ground. Ground inside of the culvert polygons was removed to allow water to flow for hydraulic modeling purposes. The DEM can then be used to create a representation of the earth's surface and be used for modeling purposes. A variety of information needed can be obtained through this data set by the use and manipulation of the data by multiple agencies. OCM received the data files from the Oregon Lidar Consortium. No project or survey report accompanied the data set. The metadata records did not include vertical accuracy information.
        purpose:  Provide airborne based LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data of the Tualatin National Wildlife Refuge. The LiDAR acquisition for this project will support ongoing Inventory and Monitoring activities, refuge management, and planning. LiDAR will provide a wealth of vegetation structure data for a planned vegetation mapping project. LiDAR can also aid the current Hydrogeomorphological (HGM) assessment being developed by Inventory and Monitoring. LiDAR based Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) will provide an invaluable tool to design the landscape for more efficient flows of water to the critical habitat areas and can also aid the current Hydrogeomorphological (HGM) assessment being developed by Inventory and Monitoring.

                description:  LiDAR Data Acquisition: The LiDAR acquisition mission was flown on May 15, 2012. LiDAR acquisition of the project area consisted of 21 low level flight lines with an average altitude of 375 meters. The imagery acquisition consisted of 9 high level flight lines flown at an average altitude of 860 meters.
            processStep:  (LI_ProcessStep)
                description:  A network of control points was established within the project boundary to validate the accuracy of the LiDAR data. The network consisted of Real Time Kinetic (RTK) points collected by Terra Remote Sensing, and existing US Fish and Wildlife Service monuments. The following points, WP02, WP03, WP06, and WP08 were verified by Terra Remote Sensing against the active CORS control stations, JIME (Portland, OR) and NWBG (Newberg, OR). An additional network check was completed between CORS stations FTS5, GOBS, and P367. Points WP02 and WP08 were also used as an RTK/PPK (Post Processed Kinematic) base station for the collection of lidar and orthophoto checkpoints.
            processStep:  (LI_ProcessStep)
                description:  The raw project LiDAR data was imported, processed, and outputs were created using the TerraScan software suite. Automated ground filters were run on the raw las data. These filters include factors and settings such as max building size, terrain angle, iteration angle degrees to plane, iteration distance to plane, reduce iteration angle when edge length is less than, and stop triangulation when edge length is less than. After the automated ground filter is run each tile is than checked for spikes and anomalies. Manual edits are applied to any areas that the analysts interpreted the ground doing something other than what the automatic ground filter interpreted. An analyst also classifies and edits any other las point to needed feature classes at this time. Only the LAS inside the provided map limit was classified and checked by analysts. Any points that were relevant to the classification were classified to the SOW requirements and placed using the classes provided in the SOW. Class 1 Processed, but unclassified, Class 2 Bare-Earth Ground, Class 3 Vegetation, Class 4 Roads, Class 7 Noise, Class 9 Water, Class 10 Ignored Ground, Class 11 Withheld. Classified tiles were saved as las (Version 1.2). After classification and edits were complete the projection information was Geo-Coded back into the LAS files.
