通过移动地图技术保护荷兰免受洪水的侵害

59 per cent of the Netherland’s territory is vulnerable to floods and 26 per cent is below sea level. For this Western European country, preventing and protecting against sea water level rise is of vital importance – at the North Sea flood in 1953, the Netherlands testified how important strengthening costal defences is. Due to its low and flat geography, the country contains a large extension of dikes – 17,691 kilometres to be precise.

Dikes in the country are managed by waterboards. The area in the middle of the Netherlands with the Maas, Waal and Nederrijn rivers is beautiful yet vulnerable – due to climate change the sea level is rising causing rivers to flood. To ensure citizens are safe, dikes in this area are checked every two years and completely surveyed every six years to make sure they stay high and firm enough.

Kempkes Landmeten，一家专门翻译广泛的Geodesy中数据的公司，surveyed 19 kilometres of dike along the Waal river, in the area of Waterboard Rivierenland. To give an idea of scale, this is 10% of the width of the Netherlands. In the past, dikes were surveyed with traditional survey methods involving a great deal of levelling. Over time, airborne methods, such as laser scanning from a helicopter were applied. Even when surveying from the air is far more efficient than traditional surveying, several rules, accuracies and safety measures must be applied.

Choosing next-generation mobile mapping

Kempkes Landmeten讨论与水务局河enland a new method to survey the safety of the dike. They proposed to use next-generation mobile mapping technology, theLeica Pegasus:Two Mobile Sensor Platform, to deliver the task with the quality requested.

整个区域的传统调查将花费数月才能完成 -19-kilometre trajectory was done in two days移动映射解决方案安装在普通汽车上，从道路上扫描。使用Pegasus：两辆在不同的车辆上进行越野调查，然后在几天内扫描了整个项目。这包括双运行，处理移动映射数据并生成结果。现在，传统的测量师只需要在无法通过移动映射捕获的数据中捕获点云和“孔”。

For this project the flexibility of the Pegasus:Two was used to the max. The compact mobile mapping solution was used on a car and quad to reach off-road locations where a normal car would get stuck.

“ Leica Pegasus：两个可以安装在汽车，船上或其他任何其他车辆上。从车辆迁移时，不必重新校准该系统，我们可以灵活，轻松地捕获毫米范围内的现实，”Kempkes Landmeten的所有者Rob Kempkes说。“Because the survey is quicker, and no safety measures have to be taken, considerable costs can be saved.”

“I have worked on this project with great pleasure. Where we used to do a traditional survey, surveyors could now drive off-road with a quad instead. They, of course, loved this,”said Erwin Perik, responsible for development.“The whole workflow was very efficient. What we captured was immediately checked – we never left the site without knowing our data was good.”

From data to a Digital Terrain Model

使用Pegasus：为该项目获取了两个包含点云数据和照片的千兆字节。数据使用Leica Pegasus：AUTOP软件处理，通过多通途检查质量。这意味着轨迹与飞马绘制了两次：两个安装在扫描仪旋转的汽车上。这项双重运行可检查位置质量，并减少数据中的盲点和不必要的流量。所得的彩色点云与50个地面控制点和天然基准点有关。

为了调整和执行质量控制数据，通过Leica Pegasus检查了绝对位置，高度，完整性，传播和着​​色的数据：查看器和Kempkes Landmeten的自制软件。独立的调查方法（例如级别和测量概况）用于双重研究质量。

扫描未覆盖的少数部分，例如建筑物的背面或排水管等物体，使用Leica Total Station和GNSS接收器对传统方法进行了调查。bob apple如果在Pegasus的照片上看不到：两个。

然后，使用传统调查的后处理数据用于为客户生成最终产品 - 一个complete 3D Digital Terrain Model with GIS metadata。

Besides the end result that was mandatory for the assignment, Waterboard Rivierenland is now also able to use all extra gathered data, like the 360-degrees sphere photos collected with the Pegasus:Two. Thanks to the amazing source of extra information, there is no need to go outside. Where in the past the surveyor had to go back into the field, an extra cross profile can be easily generated on a location. This is quicker, safer and a perfect basis to make easier and better-informed decisions in daily processes.

Daring to disrupt

“Next-generation mobile-mapping suits Kempkes Landmeten. With both legs firmly in the river clay we are a forerunner in applying innovative techniques,”said Kempkes.“当我们做某事时，它必须是当前的，可靠的和完整的。”

Using the Pegasus:Two has proven to be more flexible, safe, faster and scalable giving Kempkes Landmeten a key advantage over the competition on this and other projects. Investments in new reality capture and processing solutions, just like Leica BLK360 imaging laser scanner and Jetstream, make sharing point cloud data even more efficient.
