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.

Industry Reviews

'The diversity of the topics and authors' backgrounds makes this book a good reference for researchers and practitioners in the areas of system development, sensor integration, imaging algorithms, mobile data management, and monitoring and decision making efforts.'

'The book offers a wide range of research topics in an organized and well-presented manner.'

'The book includes selected papers from experts in the field of mobile mapping technology, which provide readers with not only an overview of recent advances and future technological trends in the field but also detailed technical description of system components, hardware and software integration and applications.'
