Purpose

To present a Mobile Scanning System for digitizing three‐dimensional (3D) models of real‐world terrain.

Design/methodology/approach

A combination of sensors (video, laser range, positioning, orientation) is placed on a mobile platform, which moves past the scene to be digitized. Data fusion from the sensors is performed to construct an accurate 3D model of the target environment.

Findings

The developed system can acquire accurate models of real‐world environments in real time, at resolutions suitable for a variety of tasks.

Originality/value

Treating the individual subsystems of the mobile scanning system independently yields a robust system that can be easily reconfigured on the fly for a variety of scanning scenarios.
