Abstract
AbstractThis chapter introduces the historic development as well as the latest progress of mobile mapping systems. First, mobile mapping technologies, including the introduction of positioning and mapping sensors, and how they can be integrated together, are briefly reviewed. Then the development of land-based, aerial, marine, and mobile portable mapping platforms is presented. The latest progress in mobile-mapping technologies is further discussed, along with sensor fusion schemes, seamless indoor and outdoor mapping strategies, and disaster response applications. In addition, this chapter explores future and potential applications, such as high-definition (HD) maps and autonomous mapping with autonomous systems.
Highlights
The recent growing market for geospatial data and its applications has increased the demand for collecting geospatial data efficiently and economically
Mobile mapping technologies, including multi-sensor integration and multi-platform mapping technology, have clearly established a modern framework moving towards efficient geospatial data acquisition for various applications such as conventional mapping scenarios, rapid disaster response, smart city, and autonomous vehicle applications
Compared with the current mobile mapping systems developed by the geospatial information industry, the environmental perception technology developed by the robotic industry has the advantage of low prices, but its accuracy is not sufficient to meet the demands for geospatial applications
Summary
The recent growing market for geospatial data and its applications has increased the demand for collecting geospatial data efficiently and economically. Mobile mapping technologies, including multi-sensor integration and multi-platform mapping technology, have clearly established a modern framework moving towards efficient geospatial data acquisition for various applications such as conventional mapping scenarios, rapid disaster response, smart city, and autonomous vehicle applications Among those applications, applying mobile mapping systems to build indoor maps for pedestrian navigation and high-definition (HD) maps for autonomous vehicles are the most popular topics driven by the booming business opportunities in geospatial communities. The original idea of adopting mobile mapping technologies was limited to applications that allowed the determination of exterior orientation parameters using existing ground control points.
