Abstract
Topographic surveys have been conducted for the Feather River basin to support hydraulic model development for a large planning study. The survey consisted of traditional photogrammetry as well as two variations of light detection and ranging (LIDAR). A preliminary comparison is made between the resulting LIDAR and photogrammetric mapping products and the differences are discussed herein. The comparison focuses on the gross accuracy and appropriateness of using LIDAR mapping to support hydraulic modeling of rivers and their floodplains.
