Elevation FIT Team,

Much was accomplished at our last meeting and much remains.  As such our
next meeting is shaping up accordingly:

Location:              Salem (room TBD)

Date:                     Friday, November 19th, 2010

Time:                     10:00AM to 3:30PM

Agenda:

1.       Governance, 1.5 hours

2.       Process for endorsement of the state LiDAR standard, 60-30
minutes

3.       Pursuing national programs to extend LiDAR work, 1.5 hours

4.       Pursuing affordable solutions to fill in OLC gaps, 1 hour

*     After hours Solutions Social (location TBD)

*     Oregon Elevation FIT Site
<http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO/fit/elevation/ElevFrame.shtml> 

Notes:

The November Elevation FIT meeting will consume a full day.  First,
we'll address Governance models to sustain and build momentum moving
forward, coordinate needs for elevation data across the state and
provide methods to include and support key players.  Then, we will
process the Oregon LiDAR Data Standard, v1.1 (4/5/2010)
<http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO/standards/docs/DraftLiDARdataStanda
rd_v1.1_2010-04-05.pdf> , that is, take ownership and shepherd it
through the approval process.  Please see Standards Development Effort
<http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO/standards/docs/Standards_Developmen
t_Effort.pdf>  and Procedures for Amending GIS Standards
<http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO/docs/standards/ProceduresforAmendin
gStandards_20081007.pdf>  for background on state data standard approval
process and subsequent amendment process.  Within these topics we'll
address how state geospatial framework supports this FIT and how we'll
organize to overcome the challenges that lie ahead.

Finally, the group will review progress with national programs, such as
those presented by Larry Sugarbaker <http://lidar.cr.usgs.gov/>  and
work underway with FEMA, 2010 FEMA LiDAR Acquisition in Oregon.  We'll
discuss priorities and uses across the state and then begin evaluating
affordable lower resolution solutions (such as IFSAR
<http://www.csc.noaa.gov/crs/rs_apps/sensors/ifsar.htm> ) to fill gaps
between pockets of higher resolution elevation data acquired in
compliance with the Oregon LiDAR standard
<http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO/standards/docs/DraftLiDARdataStanda
rd_v1.1_2010-04-05.pdf>  - the overarching goals being to secure the
best possible elevation data for Oregon, provide seamless coverage, and
provide 'open' outputs free of charge.  (Please see links to IFSAR
blended data below.)

Logistics:

Milt will reserve a facility in Salem for the full day, and we'll set a
schedule from 10:00AM to 3:30PM to cover the agenda.  Doors will open
around 9:00 AM for pre-meeting discussion, and then we'll find a spot
after the meeting to convene and discuss solutions, e.g., flood
modeling, river morphology, natural resource analysis, etc.  

In Preparation:

*         Please continue to work on business cases discussed during our
last meeting, bring notes and look for tools and examples from Ian, me
and others to assist in normalizing and cataloging business cases.

*         Review notes and material from our last FIT meeting (available
here <http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/EISPD/GEO/fit/elevation/ElevFrame.shtml>
) and follow up on the 'Immediate next steps"

*         Review sample of blended IFSAR data set at the FTP site below:

Notes: Link to sample InterMap IFSAR data
<http://www.intermap.com/ifsar> , Oregon ISFAR data compared with and
fused with LiDAR, provided for Elevation FIT review and comment.  At the
meeting, we'll discuss progress occurring at NSGIC and elsewhere
regarding a variety of possible solutions to the licensing issues.
Please send comments and questions to Cy Smith [cy.smith at state.or.us]
and me.

Hope all is well, and you all were able to enjoy some quality time over
the summer.

Thank you for your time,

Brandt Melick
