THE ORBIT GT APPROACH TO MOBILE MAPPING

SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

CHALLENGE 1

MANAGE DATA

GeoSpatial Technologies

April 2013

1. Manage Data : Vision

Where do we start ?There are many Data Captation systems out there ...

Most probably having their own post-processing tools

But what’s next ? Do we want to use Proprietary viewers ?Do we want to use Proprietary solutions for service providers and end users ?

Do we want to restrict software and processing capabilities and use of data by the captation system ?

4

If I would propose a proprietary viewer for orthophoto’s in relation to a specific camera, you would probably call me mildly retarded.

Then why does this happen to Mobile Mapping data ?


April 2013

1. Manage Data : Vision

A. Output must become generic

some standards exist (LAS, laszip, equirectangular or cubic panoramic image, ..)

B. Import must become generic

That’s up to the software

Orbit GT chooses to do both

A? We can’t force hardware providers, but we take OGC initiativesB? Today we support most systems out there, even self-made setups or adapted configurations.

5

Make abstraction of the captation system

So how can we solve this ? Two options.

1. Manage Data : Tools

IMPORTflexibility towards a variety of imagery & point clouds

ORGANIZEruns, projects, templates, library, metadata, document

OPTIMIZEindexing, conversions, mr-pyramids, variety of tools to optimize access & boost performance

6

Now just how do we do that ?

The IMPORT Procedure guides you through the steps.It covers all data, import and conversion, optimization and organization

The online Knowledge Base documents all details.

CHALLENGE 2

ACCESS DATA


April 2013

2. Access Data : Vision

Data Volumes are Massive

High Server demands

Manage High End versus Low End users

Desktop / Enterprise / Web & Mobile

GIS / CAD Content Integration

10

Why use a viewer for e.g. LiDAR only ? What are the most valued deliverables ? Isn’t that geodata, vector, GIS content ?

Well then, let’s bring that together.


April 2013

2. Access Data : Tools

The Solution is a proper Software ArchitectureDesktop workstation for smaller businesses

Central Server for all storage

Client-Server workstations for larger enterprise

Remote clients

and Get it into your workflow

11

So let’s build an architecture that meets all of our needs, from low end to high end, single desktop user to corporate wide

workflows, onto the web and mobile devices.

2. Access Data : Single Storage, Multiple Use

LiDARUnlimited size, compressed, indexed

No need for many seperate small files

Imagery360° images, equirectangular, cubicPlanar images, calibrated or not

MetadataProjects Index

trajectory, hardware setup specs, ...

envelope, calibrations, accuracies, ...

CHALLENGE 3

EXTRACT FEATURES


April 2013

3. Extract Features : Vision

Extracting Features is not a single person job, so :

Keep it simpleUse the same procedures independent from content type

Minimize phases :Directly into your workflowDirectly into you CAD / GIS

18

Isn’t it still the most important reason to use Mobile Mapping ? It’s about how we can improve the knowledge of the reality around us without having to go to the

spot all the time over and over again. But basically, we still keep on drawing CAD or GIS maps. That’s why we integrate them.


April 2013

3. Extract Features : Tools

Asset Inventory ManagementExtract points, lines, areas

Save directly into GIS layers or database

Attribuate immediately

Enrich with snapshot & relation to sourceUse a set of rules or formulas to include metadata, precision info and more

Stand-Alone and Company wide

GIS Layers can be directly exposed via Webservices

19

April 2013 20

Single click, combine image and point cloud

April 2013 21

Document and annotate automatically

April 2013 22

Even measurement of a catenary curve

3. Extract Features : Workflows

CHALLENGE 4

SHARE - PUBLISH - EMBED


April 2013

4. Share - Publish - Embed : Vision

Reuse your massive data to the fullest

Publish to a variety of clientsDesktop, Web, Mobile Device, Enterprise systems

Embed in your favorite GIS / CAD host

Create new revenue from your dataHost your professional streetview WITH content

25

Get it our there. No extra efforts, just configure it. The hard work has already been done !

ICT-analysts: “Everything is Information”

Project Leaders: “It’s about the Process and Workflow”

Managers: “It’s about the Organization”

Sales Men: “We don’t sell tools, we sell solutions”

CEO’s: “It’s about the result, not the technique”

To get results, one needs solutions that can organize the information in such a way that processes and workflows are

optimized, efficient and effective.
