Spectrum Mapping is the logical choice for all of your digital aerial mapping requirements with
over 30,000 square miles of airborne LIDAR mapping experience across the U.S. In the mapping
industry, many firms make similar claims, and may (on the face) seem very similar. This can
make the task of selecting a mapping vendor a daunting one. However, Spectrum is truly
different – from our “customer-first” business philosophy to our actual “hands on” experience
of acquiring, processing and delivering final products – we consistently differentiate
ourselves from the competition.
Spectrum owns and operates three LIDAR systems, two integrated hyperspectral
sensors and digital color/multispectral cameras allowing the appropriate
configuration to be used for a wide variety of projects. We have designed
our systems to integrate the various components so that all data is
collected in a digital format in a single mission.
With three aircraft and multiple systems, Spectrum can offer unsurpassed
response time and capacity. Whether the project requires economical "high
and fast" or "low and slow" data acquisition for LIDAR projects, Spectrum's
diversity of platforms provides the correct solution for acquisition and
data fusion of all products.
As one of the first innovative pioneers in the industry, Spectrum began utilizing LIDAR
combined with digital imaging in 1996. The integration of these two technologies has been
vital to the production of accurate bare earth surfaces and the classification of laser
returns to support a wide range of mapping and natural resource applications for commercial,
municipal, county, state and federal agencies.
Spectrum typically acquires digital imagery on all projects, whether or not it is a
required delivery. It has been our contention since 1996 that, depending on the terrain
and vegetation coverage, laser data cannot be “blindly” filtered. In our experience,
for laser data certification and QA, imagery is required to review the surface to determine
the effectiveness of data filtering for bare earth and/or canopy laser returns in most
areas. For projects such as FEMA floodplain mapping that require breaklines, there is no
other current solution than to use imagery because LIDAR alone will not allow the creation
of accurate breaklines.
