Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission
AeroMetric has provided full-service professional geospatial mapping services for Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) for more than 15 years. We have successfully completed over 100 projects for the regional consortium and its member jurisdictions since the early 1990s. Listed below are brief descriptions of representative projects completed for SEWRPC.
Washington County LiDAR Terrain Model Development
During 2006, the first phase of a multi-year county-wide digital elevation model and contour processing program was initiated. This project employed an Optech 30/70 Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) instrumentation to prepare digital terrain models (DTMs). Stringent contract specifications were developed to ensure LiDAR data accuracy suitable for contour generation meeting FEMA Mapping Accuracies.
Kenosha County Mapping
New color aerial photography was acquired at 1"=200' scale and scanned to generate color digital images. Precision mapping at 1” = 200’ scale SEWRPC standards was generated, including topographic mapping at a two-foot contour interval, and planimetric mapping. AeroMetric provided acquisition of new LiDAR data and processing of a 330 square mile area to automated bare-earth point cloud status that supports the initial digital orthophoto processing and subsequent 1’ contour processing.
Regional Digital Orthophoto Program & Update
AeroMetric served as prime contractor to SEWRPC in 1995 to generate the first-ever digital orthophoto series for the seven-county consortium and its member jurisdictions. Digital imagery was completed again in 2005, 2007, and 2010 for various counties, encompassing approximately 2,800 square miles.
Milwaukee County Automated Mapping & Land Information System
AeroMetric was contracted to produce professional mapping services for 245 square miles of Milwaukee County. These services included the disciplines of aerial photography, airborne GPS, GPS geodetic control, digital vector mapping, digital terrain modeling (DTM), and color digital orthophoto mapping. The multi-user, multi-software platform of the Milwaukee County consortium imposed complex requirements on the manner in which the various point, line, and area features and map annotation could be captured and symbolized so that translation between various GIS software formats could be streamlined and conflicts minimized. A unique file structure was employed, allowing data elements to be selectively retrieved, manipulated and displayed singly or in combination with other data elements.
