3D view of line of sight analysis

This a 3D view of the orthoimagery and line of sight lines overlaid on a DEM for 3D visualization. I have created line of sight lines within ArcScene but I never knew that you could copy them in ArcMap and paste them into the scene. The only thing I still don't quite understand is when I overlaid the imagery on the DEM the instructions said to offset the base heights by 30. I need to research what this number means and how it affects the display.

Line of sight analysis surrounding Memorial Stadium

This is a line of sight analysis surrounding Memorial Stadium. Also, included below the image is a viewshed based on an observation point from a tower height of around 30ft. I learned that you could create a new field and set your observation points using the OFFSETA field to a certain height.

Bay area with hydrography and places

A second map showing hydrography and places layers. You can see why DHS requires these layers for threat analysis. With the population in the bay area along with the majority of schools, churchs, businesses, parks, marinas, etc... these layers would be required to know their location if a threat hit and resources were needed.

This is an overview map of the Bay area showing counties, and places with a 10 mile buffer for analysis purposes.

Houston crime in vicinity to police stations

This map shows a buffered distance around police stations of 2, 4, and 6 miles. It also shows how much crime is associated within police station zones. Lastly, there are recommended areas for new police substations.

Crime in Houston, Texas

This is a basemap of the Houston area showing crimes. This map was easy to create but the roads layer took forever to draw. Also, I struggled with the chart layout. I had problems getting the chart title to show in the center, and the legend is hard to adjust.

Housing Suitability - Final

Here is my final result of proposed locations to buy a house in proximity to a hospital and a college. I listed the pros and cons of each overlay and gave my reccomendation of overlay 1 as the best possible location.

Factors in Housing Site Selction

Here is my analysis of the various factors in performing a housing site slection. The only part of these maps that gave me trouble was getting the census data to perform the analysis on median housing values for Maricopa County, Arizona. Downloading the data from the census bureau was tough if you weren't sure exactly what data you wanted. Also, when I downloaded the first time I didn't get all of my fields populated.

Student Occupancy Rate

Here is a map showing the Pewter City University Student Occupancy Rate. I enjoyed creating this map beacuse of the multitude of datasets involved to perform this analysis.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Here is traffic impact from an Environmental Impact Analysis. This was the first time I had used the chart symbology on a map. Very useful effect.
