DESCRIPTION:
The growing market penetration of Internet
mapping, satellite imaging and personal navigation has opened up great research
and business opportunities to geospatial communities. Multi-platform and
multi-sensor integrated mapping technology has clearly established a trend
towards fast geospatial data acquisition. Sensors can be mounted on various
platforms, such as satellites, aircrafts or helicopters, terrestrial vehicles,
water-based vessels, and may even be hand-carried by individuals. Mobile
mapping refers to a means of collecting geospatial data using mapping sensors
mounted on a mobile platform. Its development was primarily driven by the
advances in digital imaging and direct-georeferencing technologies. With the
escalating use of telecommunication networks and the increasing availability of
low-cost and portable sensors, mobile mapping has become more dynamic, and even
pervasive. The book addresses a wide variety of research issues in the mobile
mapping community, ranging from system development to sensor integration,
imaging algorithms and mobile GIS applications. This book will provide
researchers and practitioners a good overall view of what is being developed in
this topical area.
