Please join NEURISA for a free webinar about the Northeast LiDAR Project. Mike Shillenn and other Photo Science staff will provide a technical overview of the project approach, specifications, deliverables, and schedule as well as discuss the potential applications served by this high resolution elevation data set.
To be held September 9th, 2010 from 10:00 - 11:00 AM EDT.
Abstract: Funded in part by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, as well as, direct funding from other federal, state and local entities, Photo Science was recently contracted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to collect and process LiDAR data for more than 8,000 square miles of the coastal zone and inland areas spanning six Northeastern states, including Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. Photo Science is tasked to provide project management, LiDAR data collection and processing, control surveys, product development, and quality control services. This project will not only help stimulate the U.S. economy and provide for more accurate floodplain mapping in the region, but will also represent the start of a regional LiDAR collection program that will be used as a test case for a national elevation program. The webinar will feature Photo Science staff providing a technical overview of the project approach, specifications, deliverables and schedule as well as discuss the potential applications served by this high resolution elevation data set.
