Abstract
AbstractMobile mapping technologies have contributed to close range photogrammetry becoming an efficient method for a wide range of applications over the last two decades. Advancements have included the integration of multi‐camera images and georeferencing data collected with a mobile mapping system (MMS). This paper proposes the use of a portable panoramic image mapping system (PPIMS), which is a specially designed platform equipped with eight cameras to capture panoramic images and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver (or a prism reflector) for positioning. A rigorous calibration procedure is developed for PPIMS, as well as a bundle adjustment method to solve for the platform exterior orientation parameters (EOPs) which then allows the image EOPs to be calculated. Experimental results demonstrate that PPIMS mapping accuracy can be better than 13 mm, making it comparable with traditional methods but much more efficient in the measuring process.
