Abstract

On October 29, Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on much of East Coast. The crumbling infrastructure along the East Coast suffered major damage during this historical storm, leaving tens of millions of residents without electricity. Rapidly acquired high-quality and high-resolution spatial and photo data on damaged structures are of great value to scientific studies and post disaster recovery-related decision makings. This paper describes a mobile LiDAR study conducted in the sandy impacted areas. The application and utility of mobile LiDAR data for disaster response and recovery is presented and discussed. The preliminary results of this research demonstrated that mobile LiDAR data fill in the gap between airborne remote sensing data and typical ground survey data.
