Mobile LiDAR

Mobile LiDAR is an innovative remote sensing and 3D mapping technique which utilizes highly accurate spatial data collected by sensors on board mobile platforms like cars, boats, trains, etc. Using the combination of LiDAR technology and GNSS, IMU and positioning techniques, Mobile LiDAR systems generate very dense point clouds by moving along roads, cities, coasts, railroads, etc. This kind of data can be used for creating 3D models, elevation maps, digital terrain models (DTM), and digital surface models (DSM). Mobile LiDAR has multiple applications for topographic surveys, road and highway mapping, railway inspections, utility mapping, asset management, corridor mapping, and infrastructure monitoring. In contrast to conventional surveying methods, Mobile LiDAR makes possible fast data collection in wide areas while retaining high accuracy of spatial data.
