MMS (Mobile Mapping System) is a laser equipment installed on automobile that used to survey and collect 3D co-ordinate information around the routes and road continuously by using 3D laser and digital camera. Mobile Mapping System shall cover technological applications, measuring equipment which can be movable be manpower and it can be installed on vehicle such as car, ship, and aircraft, high solution and precision of navigation system is basically installed on these vehicles to indicate location of vehicle and place as well as information recording time at any time which is called vehicle way, relations between vehicle and distance of sensors are installed together on vehicle. This relation shall indicate location and placing of sensors that created relations that linked to co-ordinate value of object in 3 dimensions of physical material to be measured, physical phenomenon that requires measurement. Furthermore, it also estimates type and characteristic of such object, therefore, Mobile Mapping System requires application of technology and comprehension of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Navigation System (INS), computer vision and close-range photogrammetry, frame and spherical video CCD imaging system and laser scanner / Lidar.
Mobile Mapping System that installed on the foregoing platforms can record information in the area that required rapid information processing by mobility. Information recording can be operated in vehicle driven in high speed such as Mobile Mapping System that obtained from vehicle driven almost one hundred kilometers per hour, Mobile Mapping System on aircraft with hundreds of kilometers speed per hour etc. The obtained Mobile Mapping System is remote sensing which cannot touch the recorded information physically as it is stored systematically and it is the record of large quantity of information once in the area, these benefits can be clearly seen in the area with limited working area such as high traffic area and it is unstoppable, disastrous areas that required assessment and rapid restoration, developing areas with conflict of interest, private areas with great potential to be developed such as public areas etc. Mobile Mapping System is an opportunity for user for each application of information extraction from video image in various aspects, image display and information extraction from panoramic video and group of laser spots, output information from these systems renders high quality of mapping and geographic information, regular replay without going to the actual area, information has high solution and correction equally to the map with large scales, the obtained information can transform in various kinds of information such as Video GIS that able to produce rapidly, making map with large scales, 3D Immersive Geographic Information System which can measure directly from the image, 3D model of the city, 3D sketch from oblique photograph and so on.Mobile Mapping System (MMS)
Road management by using MMS
PADMS-Viewer is the program that used input information that obtained from survey by vehicle that installed MMS system not so high level, mostly used to form image of roads, crossroads, signs, electric post and so on.
StereoMaching is the program that used input information obtained from survey by vehicle that installed MMS system likewise PADMS-Viewer. However, the difference is the installation is in high level which can cover 360 degrees and it is used to form slope image and being used effectively in high terrain areas.
