6. Conclusion 
In this paper, the design of a mobile mapping 
system is presented. Integration the GPS, INS and 
stereo cameras on a moving platform enable us to 
efficiently collect huge amounts of digital data for 
GIS application Combined with aerial image enable 
us to view the interested feature both from the 
ground and in the air Data collected using the 
GPSVision meets the requirements of most 
engineering applications. 
In the last ten years, the mobile mapping technology 
has grown from the theory to a standard mapping 
tool. It differs itself with traditional mapping 
method mainly by its fast data collection speed and 
its low cost. For a average road mapping project 
conducted by the lambda Tech compared with the 
currently used method by road construction 
vendors, the total time from start to finish was 
reduced by more than 50% while saving actual 
dollars of 30%. With more mobile mapping 
projects successfully completed, the market share of 
the mobile mapping system will be increase rapidly 
in the future.
