GIS 4048: Applications in GIS Module 7

Module 7:  Homeland Security – Protect

This week’s lab involved the summarizing of data in a table, performing the Generate Near Table analysis, Clipping the data frame, managing elevation data, working with LiDAR data, using the LAS Toolbar, the LAS Dataset to Raster Conversion Tool, the Hillshade Function, the Viewshed Analysis, using the 3D Analyst Extension, creating Lines of Sight, and working with ArcScene Viewer.

The maps below depict critical infrastructure, security checkpoints, surveillance locations, and lines of sight in the vicinity of the finish line for the Boston Marathon so that homeland security planners can implement protective measures such as securing the perimeter and stepping up surveillance posts at ingress and egress points.
