CDA Tribe LiDAR Acquisition

• February 2005 (Horizons Inc.)
• 537 sq. miles 257 (2.5 X 2.5 KM Tiles)
• Processed in house (RMRS, Moscow Tools)
• 3 Months Processing

Roughly 74,900 for raw lidar data for the CDA
Tribe Reservation
8
Raw LiDAR Data
Green represents intermediate hits like A tree,
building, or some object that was present.

• Not Surfaced into
• DEM or DSM Format
• Point cloud with
• X, Y, Z, etc

Red represents Ground hits
9
LiDAR Datasets

• Bare Earth DEM (2m 1m)
• Bare Earth Hillshade
• All Returns DEM
• All Returns Hillshade
• First Return DSM
• First Return Hillshade
• LiDAR Intensity
• Tree Heights (DBH?)
• Canopy Cover
• Building Footprints (height slope)

10
Bare Earth DEM

• Determine points that represent ground hits
• Create DEM from these points.
• RMRS Tools.

11
Bare Earth Hillshade

• Digital Model of Ground Elevation
• Cartographic Production

CDA Trailhead Area
12
All Returns DEM

• Not Filtered
• Building, trees, etc present
• Line of sight analysis, etc

Probably a tree stand in the DEM
13
All Returns Hillshade

• Cartographic Production
• Analysis
• Not a substitute for survey grade measurements

Wellness Center
Head Qtrs.
Fisheries
14
First Return DSM

• Filtered for first laser pulse
• Gives estimate of surface.
• Useful in tree height (DBH), canopy cover,
  building footprints

15
First Return Hillshade

• Background for Maps
• Not a true point to point measure.

16
LiDAR Intensity

• Signal Strength
• Vary depending on Surface
• Panchromatic Image
• Classification of roads, roof, vegetation.
• Contains a lot of Noise

17
Heights

• Subtract Bare Earth DEM from First Return
• Best estimate of height
• Might use as training sites
• Not a true point to point measure.

18
James House Can derive Building heights
Heights Image for entire Reservation.
Can get a relative good estimate of Stand height
from this data.
19
Canopy Cover Image()

• Mathematical Combination
• Number of First Return Points
• Number of Bare Earth Points
• Good Estimate of Canopy Cover
• Training sites

20
Building Footprints(Heights, Slope, and Other
Derivatives)

• LiDAR combined with NAIP 2004
• Feature Analyst
• Still in progress
• Work conducted for NIST project
• Enhancing FDS (WUI).
• 2-3 years for completion

21

What is FIREMON?
Fire effects monitoring package created to assist
Fire Managers in achieving management
objectives. Includes the following components
1) Integrated sampling strategy.
2) Sampling procedures.
3) Microsoft Access database.
4) Data analysis and report writing tools.
25
CDA Tribe Fire Monitoring Approach

• Draw from LANDFIRE Process
• Data gathered through FIREMON and CFI to produce
  GIS Layers.
• Aid Local Land Managers in Decision Making

26
CDA Tribe FIREMON Database

• Compilation of Data
• CDA Tribe, IDL, Potlatch, Inland Empire Paper
  Company (CFI Data)
• Tree data.
• Data collected by CDA Tribe 2004, 2005 (SCA Crews)

27
Sampling Strategy

• Existing CDA Tribe CFI Plots (702)
• 700 plots used 1998 CFI data
• 164 surveyed 2004
• 220 surveyed 2005 (SCA Crew)
• IDL Established Plots (175)
• 52 surveyed 2005 (SCA Crew)
• Potlatch Established Plots (27)
• 14 surveyed 2005 (SCA Crew)
• Inland Empire Paper Company Plots (11)
• 11 surveyed 2005 (SCA Crew)
