Remotely piloted mobile mapping systems - Towards robotic mapping

远程导航移动测绘系统正在成为三维地理空间数据采集和三维测绘革命的技术推动力，并引起了地理信息学领域的范式转变。越来越多地使用小型和轻型无人驾驶车辆系统（UVS）正在改变地理信息学应用，并为室外和室内环境的测量和建模创造新的创新机会。UVS补充并在许多情况下取代全站仪和激光扫描仪，并作为灵活的移动测量系统运行。小型化技术和微机电系统（MEMS）从根本上减少了许多组件和电子系统的尺寸和重量，从而导致了更小规模和更低成本的无人驾驶航空和地面测绘系统的发展。

Remotely piloted mobile mapping systems are becoming the technological impetus for revolutionizing three dimensional geospatial data acquisition and 3D mapping and causing a paradigm shift in the field of geomatics. The ever increasing use of small and light-weight Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) are changing the geomatics applications and creating new and innovative opportunities for measuring and modeling outdoor and indoor environments. UVS compliment, and in many cases replace, total stations and laser scanners, and operate as flexible mobile survey systems. Miniaturization technologies and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have radically reduced the size and weight of many components and electronic systems leading to the development of unmanned aerial and ground mapping systems of smaller scale and of lower cost.
