Collecting geospatial data from a moving platform is known as mobile mapping. Mobile mapping systems are often equipped with a variety of photographic, radar, Lidar or other types of remote sensing systems. GIM International has picked a selection of the best mobile mapping stories, ranging from mobile mapping using cars to other platforms such as a backpack.
The Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre has commenced Lidar surveys in ten Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs) of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB): Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Guyan...
An ESA-funded campaign called PolarGAP has used airborne sensors to take a multitude of measurements to fill in the gaps in satellite coverage over the North and South Poles. It is very difficult to k...
A consortium under the lead of GAF AG will implement the “Programme de Modernisation de la Gestion Foncière” (PROMOGEF), the Land Rights Administration Modernisation Programme of the Senegalese G...
ABB has been awarded a contract to develop and manufacture next-generation multispectral imaging systems to be placed on ten satellites that will circle the Earth. The order, worth around US$30 millio...

The use of a Phase One iXM-100 enabled EyeFly BV to fly closer to the Buggenum rail bridge in the Netherlands for the required annual bridge inspection. This achieved a resolution of close to 1mm g...
In Lidar surveys, minimizing flight time is the key to minimizing costs. Operators therefore carefully optimize parameters such as flight altitude, field of view and pulse repetition frequency to cove...
Is the concept of the digital twin merely a hype, or do digital twins actually offer lots of opportunities? As these three articles show, they really can add value – especially if you remain critica...
The monitoring of submerged deadwood and vegetation is gaining increased attention due to their socio-economic and ecological importance. Deadwood acts as an important underwater habitat but also pose...
Two Hungarian companies designed a three-step data collection workflow to overcome the challenges in this urban surveying project, which included the use of UAVs and remote-controlled boats for Lidar ...
LatConnect 60 and Gilmour Space Technologies will work together to build and launch the first microsatellite in a planned high-resolution hyperspectral imaging constellation. The smart satellites will...
In this interview, Thomas Harring, president of Hexagon’s Geosystems division and CEO of Leica Geosystems, shares his thoughts on the present and future of the geospatial industry, including his vie...
