Abstract

Working w/Big Data: Migrating 800M Data Pnts to ESRI's Terrain Dataset
Track: 3D and Lidar Data
Authors: John Peterson, Stephen Brown

This project�s goal was to merge bathymetric and LiDAR elevation data collected for Abiquiu Lake,NM into one container for visualization,analysis and exportation to multiple file types. ESRI�s Terrain Dataset provided the necessary functionality for doing this. The workflow for fusing multi-point data sets derived from multi-beam bathymetric collection methods with LiDAR datasets into full volumetric Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) will be described. Volume calculation will also be presented.
