Remotely piloted mobile mapping systems - Towards robotic mapping

遥控移动的制图系统正在成为技术动力，使三维地理空间数据采集和三维制图发生革命性变化，并引起地理信息学领域的范式转变。越来越多的小型和轻型无人驾驶车辆系统（UVS）的使用正在改变地理信息学应用，并为测量和建模室外和室内环境创造了新的创新机会。UVS是全站仪和激光扫描仪的补充，在许多情况下可以取代全站仪和激光扫描仪，并作为灵活的移动的测量系统运行。小型化技术和微机电系统（MEMS）已从根本上减小了许多部件和电子系统的尺寸和重量，导致开发出规模更小、成本更低的无人驾驶航空和地面测绘系统。

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.
