Integrated Positioning System
Topcon’s IP-S2 Mobile Mapping System overcomes the challenges of mapping linear features to a high level of accuracy. Accurate vehicle positions are obtained using three redundant technologies: a dual frequency GNSS receiver establishes a geospatial position; an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) tracks vehicle posse; and connection to the vehicle CAN bus or external wheel encoders obtains odometry information. These three technologies work together to sustain a highly accurate 3D position for the vehicle even in locations where satellite signals can be blocked by obstructions such as buildings, bridges, or tree lines.
IP-S2 Vehicle Components
The IP-S2 standard system includes three high-resolution LiDAR scanners that cover the vehicle path at ground level and sweep the adjacent areas to a distance of 30 meters. A high-resolution digital camera can be added to provide 360 degree spherical images at a rate of 15 frames per second. Other sensors can be integrated to provide total flexibility of system configuration for a wide variety of applications. Sensor inputs are recorded and time stamped at the rate of 15 nanoseconds.
IP-S2 Software
Geoclean, Topcon’s powerful software, will post-process the georeferenced LiDAR and/or digital imaging data into a viewable 3D image representation which can then be exported to industry standard formats. GNSS data can be post-processed against a reference station for higher accuracy.
Optional desktop software, Spatial Factory, includes a viewer enabling the user to review geo-referenced point cloud and camera information, label features and assets, make measurements and export data into GIS programs.
The IP-S2 provides fast, high accuracy data and dynamic imaging for any linear mapping project. The vehicle-mounted system can map data at normal travel speeds for roadway surface condition assessments and roadside feature inventories. Safety is increased by removing pedestrians from the travelled lanes.
