Led by Key Laboratory of Geographic Information Science of Education Ministry in our university, the research on RSDAS has brought good results to us recently. It also provides totally new conception and techniques to build “Digital City”.
In order to build this platform, a Dongfeng car had been skilfully reequipped with video cameras, laser scanners, computers, BD / GPS receivers, IMU and other devices. When the car ran along the road, the cameras and scanners on it could photograph and scan the road in all dimensions. Meanwhile, the data collected could be stored in the computers on it. The platform could use navigation device to position vehicles precisely and get the exact data.
Supported by the 985 Scientific and Technological Innovation Platform, our Key Laboratory of Geographic Information Science of Education Ministry cooperated with several corporations to do the research. About 70 members devoted to researching for over 2 years, and they finally finished the program on RSDAS successfully.
It is said that this platform owns independent Intellectual Property Rights and has huge commercial potential to the public safety in the city. It could help people to get familiar with the geographic conditions in the city, to know how to put equipment of transportation and fire-fighting, and to make better layout of the city.
