Section Description
|
|
The Mapping Services Section is responsible for topographic mapping,
base countywide and location-specific digital terrain and elevation modeling,
along with engineering-grade countywide and location-specific ortho-rectified
aerial photography that can be used for planning and development.
The Section manages six local licensed photogrammetric consultant firms
that are contracted bi-annually. The technology used by these firms spans
a period of history when the services provided were strictly for military
reconnaissance. The technology used today is some of the newest digital
mapping & photogrammetric services in the surveying and mapping industry.
This section also creates graphic displays, aerial mosaics, performs
digital aerial re-sampling, custom aerial maps and offers printing reprographic
services of survey & mapping records/plans to other governmental agencies,
departments, the private sector and the public. The section currently manages
over 14,000 historical aerial photographs, 71,000 Microfiche slides and
a database of as-builts and record drawings.
In mapping large areas, corridors or specific locations, this section
manages cost-effective contract services for the following:
- Airborne GPS
- Airborne LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging),
which is the use of a laser to measure distances
from an airborne platform.
- Photo Lab Services
- Photogrammetry
- Digital Terrain Modeling & Digital
Elevation Modeling
- Data Conversion
- Cartography
- Remote Sensing
- Geographic Information System Services
- Digital Photography/Imagery
that is rectified to the terrain of the
earth
The section’s remote sensing service also provides some of the
newer technologies available for flood plain mapping, environmental analysis,
forestry & agriculture management and corridor mapping.

Current Projects
- In conjunction with Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD)
and the City of Tampa, a five-year program to map one-foot contours
of the entire county.
- Preparation of horizontal and vertical
control for the next set of engineering-grade half-foot
pixel Ortho-rectified Color Photographs.
- Currently in the
development and planning phase with the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, SWFWMD and the Public
Works Department Stormwater Modeling Team to map
the Hillsborough River Basin using LIDAR and a remote sensing
device.
