How do you see the complementarity of airborne and mobile LiDAR mapping systems?
The complementarity of mobile and air borne mapping has turned out to be really fruitful. There are places where conducting air-borne survey becomes difficult, such as cities. You can have an excellent imagery of the whole city but certain aspects pose challenges. One such problem area is with shadows. Also when you get further down the city to street level, obtaining the desired resolution becomes difficult. The mobile mapper solves the problem and you have data sets at higher resolution. The combination of both the datasets gives fantastic resolution on all aspects of the city and gives completely compatible datasets. way engineer would want details up to centimetre level, say how the crown of the road looks like. Also, in case of bridges, what kind of terrain is shaped underside the bridge. An airborne system will not be of use to obtain such fine details but mobile system will be. Civil engineering is an exciting area where this mobile LiDAR system is proving to be very economical.
