Beskrivning

This book contributes to the transformative and revolutionary use of small, unmanned vehicle systems for three-dimensional geospatial data acquisition and mapping, which is considered to be a paradigm shift in the science and technology of geomatics.The book presents a systematic and comprehensive approach for the use of small mobile unmanned systems for robotic geomatics research and applications. Emphasis is placed on aerial unmanned mapping systems as aerial data collection provides better perspective and coverage of an area, and offers the ability for targeted coverage.After considering background information on current systems and technologies, the book;presents photogrammetric fundamentals and advanced methodologiesaddresses both platform and control segmentsdiscusses sensors, communication, and payload aspectsemphasises automatic aspects of sensor localization and exploration and mapping of the environment.It offers several application cases, from monitoring changes in arctic regions to precision agriculture and archaeology, presents challenges and emerging technologies and discusses the market trends and the roadmap ahead.

`...is an excellent addition to the knowledge base of Unmanned Vehicle Systems as it covers many aspects - technology, operations, theoretical basis of data acquisition and processing and applications. This book does a very good job of bringing together all aspects of UVs for Geomatics applications and should be an essential textbook for professionals in the field, or those contemplating an entry into the field of robotic mapping in Geomatics'. Geospatial World-------------------'...This book fills that gap by leading the reader through the world of robotic platforms being used in mapping and remote sensing. ...imparts a solid bank of knowledge on the different types of UVSs and their design principles, as well as providing a good introduction to sensor positioning and orientation. ...readers seeking to learn about the fundamentals and advanced technologies relate to UVS platforms and control segments. ...should look forward to reading this book'. The Photogrammetric Record--------------------'...an excellent scholarly reference. ...is as up-to-date and comprehensive on the subject as you will find. It would certainly be an excellent resource for professional training courses and a college level course on the subject'. Lidar News------------------'...is an invaluable read for existing professionals working in the geomatics field...The depth of the detail presented in the book gives readers enough knowledge to make their own judgment on the most suitable hardware/software technologies for their intended application. Civil Engineering Surveyor-------------------'There is plenty of useful material here...This is a well produced book, with colour on every page...The authors write clearly and their international perspective is appealing'.
