Mobile mapping uses a vehicle-mounted platform equipped with LiDAR sensors, 360° cameras, and GNSS/IMU systems to collect high-density geospatial data along roads, railways, utility corridors, and urban environments.
Engineered for environments inaccessible to vehicles, backpack mobile mapping enables data collection in tight, rugged, or hazardous spaces.
Ideal for documenting transportation corridors, utility lines, and critical infrastructure conditions.
Eliminates the need for repeat field visits by capturing rich, high quality data the first time improving quality control and decision-making.
In Fall 2019, CompassData completed a high-precision aerial and mobile mapping project across 35 square miles of Winter Park, Colorado, covering rugged terrain ranging from 8,500 to 12,500 feet. Under urgent conditions, CompassData deployed within 24 hours, installing aerial targets and capturing both LiDAR and oblique/nadir imagery with the Leica CityMapper sensor.
Using drone and mobile mapping, terrestrial surveys, and a network of local base stations, CompassData delivered a rich geospatial dataset including LiDAR point clouds, orthoimagery, planimetry, 2-ft contours, and 360° street-level views. Despite challenging logistics, the project was delivered within 90 days—on time, under budget, and exceeding accuracy standards.
Winter Park’s Planning Director praised the results: “They exceeded what they said they would do.” Final deliverables surpassed ASPRS accuracy recommendations, supported by FAA-qualified software (CompassAA & CompassTA), ensuring Winter Park Resort has reliable 3D geospatial data for planning, infrastructure, and development.
Streamline your project from smart city planning to rugged terrain surveys. We’re here to deliver accuracy, speed, & clarity.
Mobile mapping uses a vehicle-mounted platform equipped with LiDAR sensors, 360° cameras, and GNSS/IMU systems to collect high-density geospatial data while in motion along roads, railways, utility corridors, and urban environments.
CompassData uses the Trimble MX60 system, which captures high-resolution LiDAR and panoramic imagery for survey-grade results.
Depending on your project, deliverables can include Digital Elevation Models, classified point clouds (LAS/LAZ), orthophotos and 360° panoramic imagery, vector features like road edges and utilities, and full asset inventory databases.
Yes. CompassData offers backpack mobile mapping for tight, rugged, or hazardous environments that are inaccessible to vehicle-mounted systems.
Mobile mapping supports utility and pipeline corridor mapping, transportation infrastructure, vegetation and right-of-way (ROW) analysis, smart city and asset inventory programs, oil and gas infrastructure, disaster response, and digital twin/3D urban modeling.
