Abstract:
Integrating diversiform advanced technologies including mobile positioning technology, modern communication technology, spatial information technology, embedded technology, Mobile Mapping System supports real time data accessing and mapping with intelligent mobile terminal, and achieves geographic spatial data visualization. Mobile Mapping System has strong appliance potential in intelligent transport, precision agriculture, field surveying and environment engineering and so on, so its design and study have been paid more attention in GIS field. Based on the acquirement, compression, storage, transmission, mapping of multi-dimensional agriculture information, precision agriculture is a system engineering integrating information technology and agriculture production. GPS is a real time positioning system and it achieves mobile positioning. Integrating Mobile Mapping System and GPS, the spatial difference information in field can be getting quickly and accurately. Mobile Mapping System supports the display, edit and management of standard vector and grid data, collects and transmits multi-dimension field environment data by Internet and wireless communication equipment, and realizes the fast construction and real time update of field information database. In this paper the structure frame of Mobile Mapping System and its application in precision agriculture are studied and some key technologies involved with system construction are discussed, including intelligent integration of multi-dimension data, compression and decompression model of spatial information in field, efficient transmission of spatial information, interface of wireless communication and mobile intelligent terminal.
