Mobile mapping
Mobile mapping: Mobile map ping is the process of collecting geospatial data from a mobile vehicle,typically fitted with a range of photographic, radar, laser, LiDAR or any number of remote sensing systems. Such systems are composed of an integrated array of time synchronised navigation sensors and imaging sensors mounted on a mobile platform.The primary output from such systems include GIS data, digital maps, and georeferenced images and video. History: The development of direct reading georeferencing technologies opened the way for mobile mapping systems. GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems, have allowed rapid and accurate determination of position and attitude of remote sensing equipment,effectively leading to direct mapping of features of interest without the need for complex post-processing of observed data. Applications: Aerial mobile mapping Traditional techniques of geo-referencing aerial photography, ground profiling radar, or Lidar are prohibitively expensive, ...
