They enable users to collect detailed 360º imagery and geospatial data encompassing roads, buildings, vegetation, and more, all while on the move. This integrated approach not only streamlines data collection processes but also elevates the quality and utility of the geospatial data captured.
The ability to function as both standalone units and in tandem with other sensors makes them uniquely flexible and powerful in the field of mobile mapping.
Discover how seven distinct users are leveraging Mosaic Camera Systems to redefine their data collection methods and enhance how they, or their clients, utilize this data for improved decision-making and operational efficiency.
Mapping data isn’t all about private profits! How it brings relief.
While many surveying and mapping companies are for-profit companies, there are many that provide vital services in emergency situations, including post-disaster data capture. Near real-time street view collected in the aftermath of a large storm or other natural disaster can provide emergency response teams with the on-the-ground data they need to react appropriately. This can mean knowing where to send debris removal trucks to communities that are blocked off or provide food and water to those who might not have access to such necessities.
Being able to collect, process, and visualize the data quickly is of the utmost importance. Check out how this is done with mobile mapping systems and solutions here.
When mobile mapping extends beyond roads to ensure safe rail travel
The Norwegian rail authorities require precise track location data, accurate within 10 mm horizontally, to be gathered annually. This monitoring aims to quantify track displacement due to factors like temperature fluctuations and heavy train braking, as excessive movement might lead to derailments. Hence, meticulous tracking of these shifts holds paramount significance. Railway lines need to adhere to such stringent restrictions in order to ensure that passengers and cargo arrive safely at their final destination.
Field, a Norwegian company and leader in surveying, utilized a new mobile mapping solution to cut a project from a 6-month long campaign to only 10 days of data capture and about 4 to 5 weeks of data processing and quality control. Learn more about how they did so here.
Mapping data isn’t only about man-made assets! How it green-ifies our cities
greehill is an innovative green-minded startup with the goal to “Keep your city’s trees healthy, safe, and resilient and management costs low.” They offer the world’s first Smart Tree Inventory.
By capitalizing on the power of their mobile mapping system, which contains some of the most advanced technologies in the world for street view data capture, they capture data that is later analyzed by their one-of-a-kind algorithm that can determine failure risk, safety factor, leaf area, disease, and more. The Digital Twin created by Riegl LiDAR data meticulously replicates each tree, while high-resolution photos captured with a Mosaic camera provide different ranges, angles, and altitudes of each tree.
Their mobile mapping efforts are helping clients from Singapore to Texas to Italy:
- Reduce lifetime cost of trees
- Streamline maintenance and operations
- Automate data analysis, evidence-based reporting, and real-time intervention management
See how urban vegetation mapping, planning and maintenance is leading to a greener, cleaner world.
