About us
AIMS stands for Automated Information Mapping System and is a division of the Department of Technology and Innovation within Johnson County government. AIMS was initiated by the Board of County Commissioners in the mid-1980s. The major reason for establishing AIMS was to enable the county to meet the rigorous mapping and documentation requirements of the complete property reappraisal mandated by the Kansas State Legislature. AIMS has since grown into a highly integrated support and service department within the county. AIMS is also a Geographic Information System, or GIS. A GIS is a computerized system for managing large amounts of information that is geographically referenced or related to a location. In other words, a GIS is a smart map. By combining locational information with tabular information, GIS provides users the ability to make informed decisions with improved efficiency at less cost. AIMS enhances this ability by making the county's maps and data available online. GIS is used in many arenas including emergency management and response, property appraisal, public works, health services, and economic development. https://www.jocogov.org/legal-disclosures#social-media-policy

It's happening! ArcMap is entering Mature Support in March 2024. What does this mean? This is last life cycle before ArcMap is retired! While you will still be after to contact technical support, after March 2024, there will be no software update OR patches for ArcGIS Desktop. If you haven't already, the time to migrate to ArcGIS Pro is now. Read the blog below for more info! https://lnkd.in/gVG4-jk7

What Is The Difference Between LiDAR Data And A Digital Elevation Model (DEM)? | What is 3DEP? -- https://lnkd.in/eNP8iYPu <-- shared technical article 1 -- https://lnkd.in/edYJ7_GZ <-- shared technical article 2 -- “Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data are collected from aircraft using sensors that detect the reflections of a pulsed laser beam. The reflections are recorded as millions of individual points, collectively called a ‘point cloud,’ that represent the 3D positions of objects on the surface including buildings, vegetation, and the ground. Digital elevation models (DEMs) are one of many products that can be derived from lidar data, though they can also be derived from other sources. DEMs are digital representations of the earth’s topographic surface. They’re a “bare-earth” product because they do not include surface features like buildings and vegetation. A high-resolution DEM can be derived from lidar point-cloud data by stripping away the surface features and sampling the ground elevation in uniform increments to produce a bare earth model. The USGS is in the process of replacing all of [their] legacy DEMs with DEMs derived from lidar and IfSAR (Alaska only) data. [aka the 3DEP program.]…” #GIS #spatial #mapping #opendata #LiDAR #DEM #elevation #3DEP #spatialdata #USA #IfSAR #radar #digitalterrain #DTM #dataresources #pointcloud #groundelevation #model #modeling U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
