Michael Baker International: Mobile LiDAR: Ellicott City Flooding Animation

Mobile LiDAR systems employ vehicle-mounted lasers, cameras and GPS/INS navigation systems to capture highly detailed 1:1 scale, 3D topographic data for surveying and engineering applications. Michael Baker International became an early adopter of Mobile LiDAR technology in 2009, and expanded our capacity in 2014 and 2015 to increase our fleet to four Optech Lynx SG1 Mobile LiDAR systems.

Ellicott City Flooding Animation

As you read in our previous post Ellicott City Flood Modeling, we deployed one of our Mobile LiDAR teams to Ellicott City, MD to capture post-event as-built conditions. In addition to providing the County as well as State of Maryland agencies with the high-resolution LiDAR point cloud and spherical imagery, we took the opportunity to create a visualization of the observed 2016 flood levels overlain on a current 1:1 scale model of Ellicott City. The resulting video (see below) was developed to aid residents as well as County and State Officials in their comprehension of observed water depths and inundation.
