Ford has an open source Lidar dataset with seasonal variation in weather, lighting, construction and traffic conditions experienced in dynamic urban environments but how scalable is this method of collecting lidar data? AUVs need to constantly update their HD maps...
Category: Mobile Mapping
Mobile mapping is a vehicle based visual mapping system with precision GPS, panoramic imaging camera and LiDAR. It is used to document infrastructure conditions to high degree of accuracy, typically with 3 cm. As-Built CAD can be generated as a result of the data to help engineers understand site topography, elevation differences, and assets along corridors.
