Mobile Mapping System for 3D Data Collection
A Mobile Mapping System is an advanced spatial data collection solution flexibly mounted on transport vehicles such as cars, trains, boats, or carried by personnel. This solution provides the ability to capture detailed environmental surroundings with speed and accuracy that traditional survey methods can hardly achieve.
Outstanding Technological Features
Discover the superior technical capabilities of the mobile mapping system.
Rapid Integration And Field Deployment
- The system rapidly and accurately collects geographic data at a high level of detail.
- Particularly beneficial in urban areas where traditional surveying is restricted during peak hours.
- A basic configuration includes a vehicle equipped with positioning sensors (GNSS/IMU) and a laser scanner (LiDAR).
- Can be expanded by attaching digital cameras (e.g., Topcon IP-S2 series) or specialized sensors such as thermal cameras and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
High Data Accuracy
- Collects data more rapidly, accurately, and comprehensively than ever before for environmental surfaces and underground structures.
- Widely applied to survey road and railway projects and map urban environments.
- Accuracy is consistently maintained by a Wheel Pulse Transducer / Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI)
- This DMI device effectively compensates for positioning when GNSS signals are degraded or denied in urban canyons due to tall buildings or tree cover
Simple Device Synchronization
- All component devices are connected and synchronized via a central control unit.
- Significantly reduces the operator's labor burden during the data collection process.
- The laser scanner continuously collects 3D coordinates of millions of points.
- Laser data combined with close-up images from a digital camera creates a 3D virtual reality of the landscape.
- Rich data results are conveniently processed in the office manually or through specialized software.
Adaptability To Diverse Terrains
- Easy installation capability and high customizability of the system.
- Allows data collection across various types of terrain.
- Operates effectively in hard-to-reach areas or complex topographical conditions.
Reduced Data Collection Time
- Provides a superior advantage when mapping large or hard-to-reach areas.
- Environments that previously took weeks to survey now require only a few days.
- Significantly improves overall project efficiency and productivity.
