Abstract: A method of processing camera data of a mobile mapping system is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method includes a) obtaining camera data from at least one camera of the mobile mapping system, b) detecting at least one region in the camera data, c) applying a compression technique on the camera data in a first region, and d) obtaining range sensor data from at least a first range sensor. The range sensor data may at least partially correspond to the camera data. Also, in at least one embodiment, b) includes using the range sensor data to identify the at least one region in the camera data.

Abstract: A method of creating an audience map comprising the steps of; receiving a focus point comprising location data defining a geographical location; receiving trace data defining at least one geographical location of a potential viewer; determining a field of view which represents a region within which a potential viewer could see the focus point; projecting the field of view from either; (i) the focus point and determining whether the or each geographical location of the trace data falls within the field of view of the focus point and recording occurrences thereof; or (ii) the or each of the geographical locations of the potential viewer and determining whether the geographical location of the focus point falls within the field of view of the or each of the geographical locations of the potential viewer and recording occurrences thereof; and generating an audience map based on the recorded occurrences.

Abstract: A method of detecting objects from terrestrial based mobile mapping data is disclosed, wherein the terrestrial based mobile mapping data has been captured by way of a terrestrial based mobile mapping vehicle driving on a road having a driving direction, the mobile mapping data including laser scanner data, source images obtained by at least one camera and position and orientation data of the vehicle, wherein the laser scanner data includes laser points, each laser point having associated position and orientation data, and each source image comprises associated position and orientation data.

Abstract: A method of identifying a planar object in source images is disclosed.
