Mobile mapping is the process of collecting geospatial data by using a mobile vehicle equipped with a laser, GNSS, LiDAR-system, radar, photographic tool, or any variety of remote sensing tools. A mobile mapping survey is the data collection process that is used to determine the settings of points externally of the Earth and calculate the angles and distances in between them.
Mobile mapping is relatively precise, with an intermediate precision that falls in between terrestrial and air-borne LiDAR. The GPS, INS, and car wheel sensing units aid in tracking the positional information about the mapping sensing units as well as the vehicle Whenever it's carried out.
The top mobile mapping systems consist of the Leica Pegasus, the Trimble MX50, the Lynx H2600, the Reigl VMY-2, and the Mosaic Viking. This technology has lots of applications in company infrastructure administration, army and highway, highway and defense mapping, city planning, ecological surveillance, and various other markets, too.
