Mobile mapping

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mobile mapping is the process of capturing spatial data from a mobile carrier platform . For recordings of external surfaces, these can be motor vehicles , airplanes or helicopters , but also unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) such as drones , octocopters or model helicopters. Backpacks or trolleys are used indoors. With a combination of positioning sensors ( GNSS , inertial navigation system INS , DMI, SLAM ) and measuring sensors ( laser scanners , image sensors for panoramic images , stereo images , videos , thermal and multispectral images) , this mobile carrier platform enables very powerful 3D data acquisition. The results of mobile mapping are GIS data, point clouds or digital maps as well as geo-referenced images and videos.
