Missalignment Calibration workflow
• Drive suitable site with buildings: Good visibility to walls
Clean, vertical walls
Right driving pattern
• Search tie lines on building walls automatically
• Solve HRP misalignment angles
Calibration Mobile
• Large building with open area (parking lot)

Airborne Lidar & “Mobile Mapping”
Same sensor technologies
• LiDAR, GNSS/INS, different kind of cameras
Similar calibration and orientation strategies Differences:
• Kinematic conditions • GNSS conditions • Distance to the object
Kinematic Conditions - Standstill
GNSS conditions: Air vs. Ground

Distance to the Object of interest Airborne LiDAR / Photogrammetry
focal length: 100mm pixel size: 6µm FOV (one pixel) = 0.0034°
LiDAR Mobile Mapping
distance: 5m accuracy: ~1cm angular error = 0.1°
Resulting Requirements
Application Position Orientation
Airborne LiDAR or Airborne Photogrammetry
cm – dm 0.01° – 0.001°
Airborne Thermography dm 0.1° – 0.01°
LiDAR Mobile Mapping mm – cm 0.1°
Challenging ! Easy !
The IMU is 10 to 1000 times better than needed for Orientation of
LiDAR Mobile Mapping
But: Exceptional good IMU is a must to be able to provide required
Position accuracies!

Conclusion
• A careful system calibration is a prerequisite for high accuracy Mobile
Mapping.
• Local adjustments are generally much more important for Mobile
Mapping than for airborne LiDAR.
• Combining a high performance GNSS/INS with a state of the art LiDAR
and the current calibration and adjustment techniques allows for cm
accuracies for a wide range of project conditions.
