DOGAMI has been supervising and coordinating the collection of large swaths of high resolution, high accuracy lidar data in Oregon and adjacent states since 2006. Following a successful 2500 mi² consortium effort in the Portland urban area, the Oregon legislature designated DOGAMI as the lead agency for lidar acquisition in Oregon. DOGAMI used a nationwide selection process that resulted in a state price agreement (OPA 8865) with Watershed Sciences Inc. of Corvallis, Oregon. The price agreement specifies data collection (8 pulse/m², Z_error < 12cm RMSE) and product standards (LAS points, 3ft or 1m bare earth and highest hit DEMs, 1.5ft intensity images, metadata) with a pre-determined unit cost to DOGAMI based on the size of the project area. Since developing OPA 8865 in April 2008, DOGAMI has ordered 13 large lidar flights, totaling 17,500 mi², has taken final delivery of 16,000 mi² of data. Funding for these projects has come from consortia organized by DOGAMI that include several dozen Federal, State and local government agencies, non-profits and public utilities. The data quality for all projects that DOGAMI has completed under OPA 8865 has been consistently excellent, substantially exceeding the minimum specifications. All DOGAMI lidar data is in the public domain, please reference DOGAMI as the data source.

All DOGAMI lidar program data are systematically evaluated for:
Completeness and useability by loading all files; swath to swath consistency by using TerraMatch to compare elevations of millions of coincident points from adjacent swaths, all values to date < 5cm; absolute vertical accuracy by comparing delivered DEMs to an large independent set of RTK GPS control points collected by DOGAMI, all values to date < 7cm RMSE; grid artifacts by visual examination of hillshade and slopeshade images of all bare earth and highest hit DEMs.

The Lidar Data Viewer interactive map shows the current extent of lidar data for the state of Oregon, including downloadable data by 7.5 minute USGS quadrangle. The data are maintained by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).

Watershed Sciences, Inc. collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DoGAMI) and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) between March 15 and November 7 2007. This data set has bare earth and unclassified points. The dataset encompasses portions of the following counties in northwest Oregon: Multnomah, Marion, Hood River, Clackamas, Columbia, Washington and Yamhill. Areas of interest within this data set are the Portland Metro area, Mt. Hood and Silver Falls State Park. There is 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.

The Oregon Department of Geology and 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. This LiDAR data set was collected from October 29 through November 4, 2010 and encompasses areas including and surrounding Eagle Point, Oregon and along the Rogue River in Jackson County. This data set consists of bare earth and unclassified points. The average pulse density is 8.08 pulses per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. The area of interest (AOI) totals 203 square miles (129,628 acres) and the total area flown (TAF) covers 211 square miles (134,899 acres). The TAF acreage is greater than the original AOI acreage due to buffering and flight planning optimization. This metadata record reflects all the data and cumulative statistics for the overall lidar survey. 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.

WSI has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Oregon Central Coast Study Area for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Total Central Coast area of interest (AOI) totals 1,230 square miles (787,377 acres) and the total area flown (TAF) covers 1,260 square miles (806,579 acres). The TAF acreage is greater than the original AOI acreage due to buffering and flight planning optimization (Figure 1.1 below). Central Coast data were delivered in: OGIC (HARN): Projection: Oregon Statewide Lambert Conformal Conic; horizontal and vertical datum: NAD83 (HARN)/NAVD88 (Geoid03); units: International Feet. Lidar point clouds were projected back to geographic coordinates and ellipsoid heights for storage in the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.

The dataset encompasses 1221.6 square miles in portions of the greater Portland Metro area in the state of Oregon. The highest hit digital surface models (DSM) represent the earth's surface with all vegetation and human-made structures included. The highest hit DSMs were derived from lidar data using TIN processing of the all-return point cloud. The bare earth digital elevation model (DEM) represents the earth's surface with all vegetation and human-made structures removed. The bare earth DEMs were derived from lidar data using TIN processing of the ground point returns. The DSM and DEM grid cell size is 3 feet. The projection was originally Oregon Statewide Lambert Conformal Conic, units are in International Feet. The horizontal datum is NAD 83 (2011) and the vertical datum was NAVD88 (Geoid 12A). The projection and datum have been changed for ingestion in the NOAA Digital Coast. Watershed Sciences, Inc. collected the lidar and created this data set for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The data received from DOGAMI was missing quad 45123E2. A replacement has been requested from DOGAMI.

In July of 2013, lightning strikes ignited three wildfires in southwest Oregon that became known as the Big Windy Complex. The fires were fully contained by the end of September after burning 27,555 acres of land owned by the Bureau of Land Management and protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry. WSI has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the BLM Fires study area for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Oregon LiDAR Consortium's BLM Fires area of interest (AOI) encompasses approximately 123,340 acres in Curry, Douglas and Jefferson counties in Oregon. The entire AOI lies within the Rogue River LiDAR dataset collected in 2012. 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. Between September 26 and October 23, 2013, WSI employed remote-sensing lasers in order to obtain a total area flown of 127,340 acres. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter. Final products created include LiDAR point cloud data, one meter digital elevation models of bare earth ground model and highest-hit returns, intensity rasters, ground density rasters, orthophotos, study area vector shapes, and corresponding statistical data. Final deliverables were projected in Oregon Statewide Lambert Conformal Conic. This metadata was created for the bare earth digital elevation models.
