Introduction 3D Mobile Mapping Considerations for an emerging technology “What’s in it for me?”
Overview • Emergence of 3D Mobile Mapping • Components Hardware / Software • Sensors • Imaging • Contribution to information extraction for users • It really is worth “a thousand words” (especially when it is geo-referenced)
Overview • Deliverables • Interoperability • Everyone can use the data! • Data Mining – Historical Value • How much data is too much? • Applications
Overview - Macro Total Mapping Solution • Rapid non invasive method of capturing 3D positioning and video log data • Fast: Reduce weeks of data collection • Too a few hours • Efficient: High accuracy at roadway speeds • Safe: Map from a vehicle – Not from the roadway
Sensor Fusion - LIDAR • LIDAR – Scanner (LIght Detection And Ranging) • Same as aerial LIDAR, but oriented horizontally • Drive it instead of flying it • Consideration? • Range • Target Reflectivity • Scan Rate / Per Sec. • FOV
Sensor Fusion Various sensors are integrated to obtain an accurate position and orientation • GNSS Receiver • Delivers the position information to the system • Latitude, Longitude and Altitude • IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) • Supplies accurate attitude data for the system • Roll, Pitch and Heading information • Vehicle Odometry information is obtained via external wheel speed sensors • Wheel speed sensors or also known as DMI (Distance Measurement Indicator) compute the vehicles wheel rotation to aid the vehicle positioning
Sensor Fusion Accurate Navigation When GNSS is Obstructed GNSS Wheel Encoder IMU Advanced Filtering Technology GNSS P V A IMU Filter Encoder
Sensor Fusion GNSS Antenna 360° Camera IMU IP-S2 Laser Scanners Cube Mount
Command & Control Laptop PCConnected via Ethernet and 1394b (FireWire)Computer is required to ensure connectivity and health of all sensors as well as for data logging purposes.
Workflow – Post Processing GNSS Rover Data Post Processed GNSS Data GNSS Base Dataor CORS Data GNSS+INS Post ProcessingForwards and Backward trajectory computation Raw Inertial Data(IMU) Vehicle Odometry Data (DMI)
Workflow – Point Cloud & Image Generation Raw Image Data (PGR) Stitched Spherical Images GNSS+INS Post ProcessingForwards and Backward trajectory computation Point Cloud Data Raw LiDar Data
Workflow – Image Alignment / Pose Raw Image Data (PGR) Stitched Spherical Images Point Cloud Data GNSS+INS Post ProcessingForwards and Backward trajectory computation
Deliverables • GIS Shapefiles with Attributes 360o Images Point Cloud GIS Data Attributes + Measurements + DBF
Deliverables • Image Export Options • Individual lens frames • 360° spherical stitched images • .jpeg format • .bmp format • .avi format
Deliverables • Point Cloud • .LAS file format is a public file format for the interchange of LIDAR data • Ascii.txt - common point cloud file format
IP-S2 Applications • Power Utility Mapping • ROW • Pole inventory / Joint Use Audit • Risk Management • QC • Vegetation Management • Infrastructure and Asset Management • Utility structure location • Condition • Compliance • Regulatory/Safety/Environmental
IP-S2 Applications • Roads / Streets / Highway Mapping • 3D Surface Conditions • Inventory Pavement conditions • Change Detection over time • Disaster response planning • Railway Corridor Mapping • Pipeline Mapping
Considerations? • Is the solution complete – “Out-of-the Box”? • (Hardware / Software) • How compact and mobile is the system? • Is the system scalable? • - Add new sensors , as needed?
