Integrated Mobile 3D Mapping
Trimble MX8 integratesGPS, VRS, INS, LiDAR,Digital Photogrammetryand other sensors tocreate cm-accurate 3Dmodels
216 Billion Data Points Per Hour
• Typical system– 360 deg laser scanners (qty
2)– 5 megapixel cameras (qty 4)
• ~60 million meas. & pixels per sec @ 50 mph
• ~216 billion in a single hour
Automated Information Extraction is Critical

Inventory & Pole Detection
• eCognition– Emulates the
powerful human cognitive processes that extract intelligence from images to automate image analysis.
Integrated Mobile Mapping Goes Indoors:Trimble Indoor Mobile Mapping System (TIMMS)

• The technology now exists to map our world in 3D to cm level accuracy, from space, air, land and inside buildings. The economic case and policy issues are evolving. Some earlier examples from other industries…
Construction Workflow Automation: Technology -> Compelling Economics -> Policy
Virtual Reference Station InfrastructureTechnology -> Compelling Economics -> Policy
• An approach to formalizing land rights of the world’s poor, led by the private-sector in partnership with non-profit orgs.
• Driven by the economics of Microfinance and H. De Soto
• National policies need to evolve.
Partnered Organizations
Medeem & The Clinton Global InitiativeA case where technology and economics are ahead of policy.
$50Bn spent annually on geospatial data...and yet...
• UK study: Damage to buried assets estimated at £150 million per year (2005)• The impact on society including costs of delays to road users, disruption to business, environmental damage and safety costs, which total an estimated £5.5 billion per year
The Buried Asset Problem: One of Technology, Quality, Economics & Policy.
• Regulatory environment & policy• Quality of data, and quality meta-data• Availability of data
Connected Community
eRespond: Crowdsourcing at work in the Smart Grid.
Some Concluding Remarks• “Crowdsourcing” and “Authoritative” are not necessarily
contradictory or mutually exclusive. Think eBay, Amazon, …– We already use this in Smart Grid technologies.
• 3D virtual worlds will be created with increasing spatial accuracy. The economic models and policy issues are yet to be resolved, but we can all play a part in that.
• The best things happen when technology, economic incentives and policy are aligned; easy to say, hard to do.
• Our profession is exciting , rapidly developing and multi-disciplinary; we all need to market it to the next generation.
