Spectrum Mapping was tasked by ENSR International (now a subsidiary of AECOM Technology Corporation) to collect LIDAR data and digital
ortho imagery to generate breaklines and a bare earth DEM to support 2-foot contour intervals in accordance with FEMA Appendix A.
The project area for Connecticut River floodplain was approximately 143 square miles in Hampden County, Massachusetts. The
Spectrum aircraft was equipped with the RAMS system, including a 26 Khz Laser, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a dual
frequency GPS receiver and antenna. The RAMS sensor system also includes a RAMS 4K X 4K color digital camera mounted to the
LIDAR unit.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
