1 LiDAR Contour Options Randy Mayden, VP Business Development randym@surdex.com

2 Surdex Corporation ■Surdex headquartered in St. Louis, MO area ■Over a half-century of photogrammetric mapping ~100 employees 8 aircraft – 4 Cessna 441 (Conquest) Turbine Aircraft 3 Intergraph Digital Mapping Cameras (DMC) 1 UltraCam Xp Wide Angle 5 film cameras Leica ALS 50-II LiDAR ■Very progressive R&D Large amount of proprietary algorithms and software Focus on cost-efficiency and performance

3 LiDAR Processing GPS/IMU Processing IMU Data Reduction GC Check Position Attitude GPS LASER Measurements (Range, Angle, Time) Classification X,Y,Z Point Cloud Stereo QC / Edit Classified Points (Bare-earth, veg/building) Stereo Images Data Thinning TIN Break- lines DTM Surface AUTOMATIC MANUAL 2D Edit TIN LASER Intensity, RGB Ortho Photos

4 First Return DEM Bare Earth DEM Calculations 1.Identify man made structures Determine ground elevation at edges 2. Identify vegetated areas Search for ground points within area 3. Identify open areas 4. Interpolate between available points 5. Filtering and clean- up

5 Bare Earth DEM Automatically extracted Bare Earth DEM Ground surface with vegetation and man-made structures removed Critical for terrain and hydrology modeling

6 Bare Earth DEM with 1 meter contours

7 Raw vs. Edited LiDAR Contours Contours from raw LiDAR data Contours from raw LiDAR data with photogrammetric edits

8 Types of LiDAR DTM & Contours  Level I Classified to bare earth, automated generation  Level II Classified to bare earth Automated, minimal cartographic edits  Level III Classified to bare earth Break lines added to hydrology Similar cartographic edits of Level II  Level IV (Specified contour accuracy) Classified to bare earth Full break line enhancement Full cartographic edits
