  12. Title: LiDAR-Derived Culverts (Lines) for Milwaukee County and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), WI 2021

    Contributors:

    Summary: This data represents LiDAR-derived culverts (lines) for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) in 2021. [3D culvert lines and points were generated from lidar bare earth DEM's and 2020 WROC 12 inch stereoimagery. During extraction a degree of user interpretation was necessary in determining culverts versus other similar cultural features. The Lidar base project DEM will be hydro flattened but not hydro-enforced which is typically used on water and flood modeling. To hydro enforce the DEM, we will collect culvert locations across the county. These culvert lines will then be draped to the Lidar point cloud, and the lowest elevation will be applied to the line. We will use the resulting 3D breakline to reclassify the ground points and cut the DEM, allowing water to flow through the culverts, rather than dam against the road bank. This is useful for hydro modeling and land conservation planning across the county.]

  16. Title: LiDAR-Derived Depressions for Milwaukee County and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), WI 2021

    Contributors:

    Summary: This data represents LiDAR-derived depressions for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) in 2021. [Closed depressions are important features in the landscape and knowing their locations aid in the understanding of topics ranging from water recharge to water quality and flooding. A series of automated routines were used to map closed depressions over 0.1 acres in size throughout Milwaukee County. The 2021 culvert inventory and 2021 hydro-enforced DEM were used to develop the closed depressions. ArcGIS Pro with Spatial Analyst Extension software was utilized to extract depressions from the hydro-enforced DEM. The initial step was to create a raster with filled depressions from the hydro-enforced DEM. The filled raster was then combined with the original DEM using a maximum operator creating a mosaic raster. The mosaic raster accounts for all depressions, but eliminates digital trenches located at culvert locations from the hydro-enforced DEM. The original DEM was then subtracted from the mosaic raster to extract depressions. Depression depths greater than 1 inch were then extracted. The greater than 1 inch depth raster was used to convert depression areas to polygons. Polygons greater than 0.1 acres were selected for the final closed depression dataset. The layer is intended to represent the greatest extent of individual surface depressions regardless of the degree of drainage at each setting. The depressions file can be shaded to show depth. A low elevation point layer was created for each depression and includes a depth value at the low point. A boundary polygon shapefile of closed depressions was generated including an acreage value. Closed depression mapping is influenced by project boundaries. Depressions that intersect the edge of the project boundary will either be partially filled to the height of the low point of the depression at the boundary, or not filled at all in cases where depression bottoms are flat and extend beyond the boundary. Lidar collection buffer areas improve the mapping accuracy of depressions within the subject county.]

[3-D Building Models representing every building in Milwaukee County, WI present in the 2020 lidar survey. Models are based a standardized feature extraction algorithm using esri software. There are roughly 3 levels of detail present in the dataset: Level of Detail (LOD) 1 (simple/prismatic buildings with flat roof detail), LOD 2 (includes roof structure details such as hip and gable roofforms), LOD 3 with several iconic buildings modeled to to mimic their real-world aesthetic (examples are: US Bank Building, Miller Park, and Milwaukee City Hall). Highlights of the model include the differentiation of building components including roof, facades, and ground plane. Data is made available as a single Multipatch feature class consisting of over 400,000 individual building models.]
