GPS/Positioned Digital Video for Airborne GIS Data Acquisition
Publication: Journal of Surveying Engineering
Volume 118, Issue 3
Abstract
The surveying and mapping industry has experienced significant advances in the last decade due to the application of rapidly evolving modern technology. One of the most important advances has been the deployment of the Global Positioning System (GPS), which enables rapid and accurate positioning in both static and kinematic applications. The use of GPS in conjunction with various types of remotely sensed data, such as videography, aerial photography, satellite imagery, and scanner data, has advanced the application and utility of geographic information systems (GIS). Advances in these and related technologies poses a challenge to the modern surveyor to create and utilize integrated systems that address current data‐collection and dissemination requirements. To this end an innovative approach to application‐specific mapping and data collection for GIS using the integrated airborne Digital Video Geographic (DVG) survey system is discussed.
