What is Mobile Mapping
With Mobile Mapping Services, you can collect 3D geospatial data from any moving vehicle whether on land, sea or rail. This data is collected via the vehicle mounted laser scanners, sensors and cameras and then registered and processed at our head office.
All collected data is sure to be accurate to a survey grade level and can be delivered in various industry-standard formats such as point cloud, AutoCAD topographic survey, GIS, REVIT, etc.
Mobile Mapping Services refer to the use of mobile systems equipped with a combination of sensors—such as cameras, LiDAR, GNSS (GPS), and IMUs—to collect geospatial data while in motion, typically mounted on vehicles like cars, drones, boats, or backpacks. These services are used across many industries for efficient and accurate mapping of environments.
Applications Across Industries: Urban Planning, Civil Engineering, Transportation, Mining & Oil/Gas, Emergency Response, Utilities & Infrastructure Management, Telecommunications, Government & Municipalities, Engineering & Surveying Firms, Construction & Infrastructure, Transportation, Agencies, Energy & Utilities, Telecommunications, Forestry & Agriculture, Environmental Agencies
Mobile Mapping Services involve the use of mobile platforms—such as vehicles, drones, boats, or backpacks—equipped with a combination of sensors (LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, IMUs, etc.) to capture geospatial data quickly and accurately while in motion. The collected data is used to generate high-resolution maps, 3D models, and georeferenced imagery for a variety of applications.
Mobile mapping systems combine vehicle-mounted hardware with intelligent software to enable fast and comprehensive data collection on the go. This opens new possibilities for service providers, from GIS data collection and HD mapping to smart city modelling and engineering analyses.
Mobile mapping systems utilize GNSS technology combined with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) to enable the fast rapid and accurate calculation of continuous 3D position, velocity and attitude (roll, pitch and yaw).
Applications for mobile mapping include:
- Topographical surveying, elevations & DTMs (digital terrain models)
- GIS / asset mapping & management
- Building information modelling for AEC & infrastructure
- Street scene & rights for light mapping
- Condition assessment
- Coastal mapping & monitoring
- Open-Cast Mines Volumetric Surveys
- Overhead Power Line Surveys
