Online Map of Corbin's New LiDAR Evaluation Site Available
In December, a permanent airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) test and evaluation site was installed at the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Instrumentation & Methodologies Branch facility located in Corbin, Virginia. The site was created in collaboration with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and will allow NGA and others to easily access important information about the area and surrounding positional control. An interactive map of the test and evaluation site with various layers of information such as RGB (red, green, and blue bands), near-infrared and color-infrared imagery, as well as local NGS survey control are available online. For more information, contact Kendall Fancher.
