Precisely Positioned Pointclouds
So you’re looking to build a custom mobile mapping system for your vehicle? It makes sense to us.
Off-the-shelf mapping payloads are a great option for drones where considerations around size, weight, power and mounting make hardware integration a complex task. That’s far less of a blocker for land vehicles though and, for many, the flexibility that a custom system offers can make for a better platform to grow your business.
That said, you’ll still have decisions to make about the architecture of your system.
Possibly the most important aspect to get right is your source of localisation which will enable you to accurately georeference your sensor data to a physical place on Earth.
This solution brief steps through the aspects that we recommend our customers consider when deciding on the source of localisation for their mobile mapping vehicles.
