Abstract
Integrating High-Resolution Digital Imagery and LiDAR for Local Government Track: Remote Sensing Imagery Author(s): Nicholas Franchino, Milan Svitek, Jaymes Pardue In 2005, the CIO and Department of Regional Planning of Los Angeles County, California, initiated the Los Angeles Region Imagery Acquisition Consortium (LAR-IAC) and embarked on the largest high-resolution digital aerial project in the United States. The LAR-IAC represents 25 public entities located within the county and is one of the largest and most diverse organizations of its kind to ever undertake a mapping project. Consisting of large areas of dense urban environments and rugged mountainous terrain, the county and its mapping partners turned to digital aerial and LiDAR technologies to meet this demanding challenge. The county is producing 4,100 square miles of imagery at pixel resolutions as high as four inches, digital terrain models (DTM) and contours from LiDAR. This presentation will provide an overview of the project and will focus on the digital aerial and LiDAR technologies, challenges of the project, imagery distribution technologies and lessons learned.
