Abstract
LiDAR Survey Comparison:Â Morris County, NJ vs. Ramadi, Iraq
LiDAR is used in a diverse array of applications that range from glaciology to archaeology, from defense to urban planning. There are common threads that run through all LiDAR surveys, even though the end uses can vary dramatically. 2 Two examples of the opposite ends of the spectrum are LiDAR surveys in Morris County, New Jersey and in Ramadi, Iraq. One was commissioned by the Morris County government primarily for land use planning, and the other was collected by the US Army for defense applications. This discussion will highlight the similarities and differences in LiDAR survey planning, collection constraints, resultant accuracies, and end user exploitation of the two surveys.
Michael Umansky is the Director of Product Marketing for Applied Imagery, maker of the Quick Terrain Modeler LiDAR exploitation software. He currently is responsible for state, county, and civilian markets. Prior to joining Applied Imagery, Michael was a Geographic Information Systems Specialist with the Department of Planning, Development and Technology in Morris County, New Jersey. While at Morris County, Michael spearheaded the LiDAR acquisition and integration with the county's GIS infrastructure. Michael holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Natural Resource Management and an Environmental Geomatics Certificate from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
