ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: A low cost land-based MMS for road mapping is described; it utilizes a mosaic of rectified images. A trolley, towed by a vehicle, is used to obtain reference points, while the georeferencing is performed by using known points along the road. The hardware and the software used to perform the semiautomated mapping are described, and the used procedures are discussed. Two tests have been made, in order to evaluate system performances. The first results of the research and a procedure for the automated frame rectifying are discussed.
