Municipal Geospatial Partnerships

Geospatial data such as topographic mapping, aerial imagery, and planimetrics create the digital foundation for any engineering project.  If you manage floodplains and storm water your first priority should be obtaining accurate up to date topographic data.  Flooding is not the only application that benefits greatly from geospatial data.  The potential applications for quality geospatial …

NoCO (Northern Colorado) Geospatial Consortium

Local municipal governments in northern Colorado team-up to build high accuracy base mapping through LiDAR and aerial imagery.   Ayres Associates worked with several local governments throughout northern Colorado to form an informal consortium with map modernization as their primary objective. This group broadly consists of the City of Fort Collins, City of Loveland, Larimer …

Mobile LiDAR for Transportation Design Mapping

Ayres Associates provided Mobile LiDAR services for the Interstate 43 corridor in Milwaukee and Ozaukee Counties in Wisconsin.  The project consists of approximately 50 total linear miles of Mobile LiDAR collection to support survey grade data. A digitally leveled primary and secondary control network was established. LiDAR and digital imagery was collected to maximize detection of …

Mapping Transmission and Distribution Lines with Fixed-wing Lidar Systems

Ayres Associates is mapping transmission lines in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado through the use of fixed-wing Lidar systems.  Poles, conductors, and utility structures are being extracted from high density Lidar point clouds and modeled as vectors in a geodatabase. Much of the focus on as-built transmission surveys over the past few years has been …

Feature Extraction from Aerial LiDAR

Last post I touched on how you can get more from your aerial LiDAR data – beyond contours and surface models. For more information on the topic, revisit my presentation from the 2014 Wisconsin Land Information Association Conference. Topics covered include feature extraction for buildings and vegetation, in addition to electric transmission and distribution applications. …

3D Building Extraction from Aerial LiDAR

Get more information from your aerial LiDAR – beyond contours and surface models. Recent advances in LiDAR systems and software are leading to new tools for extracting valuable information from point clouds. High-density point clouds can be used to extract 3D building shapefile polygons using customized algorithms inTerrasolid’s TerraModeler software. Complex 3D building models are …
