ABSTRACT:
The world can be represented in GIS (Geographic Information System) and CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems, showing us the
position and attributes of objects, the location of reference points and countless other kinds of spatial information. Leica MobileMatriX
allows the user to add points and measurements, completed by a surveyor in the field using either a TPS (Total Station), GPS (Global
Positioning System) or tape measurements, to his map, which is based on GIS or CAD systems.
Leica MobileMatriX is a software solution for the interactive processing, visualization and maintenance of survey and feature data directly
in the field, based on the latest ArcGIS
technology from ESRI. MobileMatriX provides functionality for editing Geodatabases in the
field and the flexibility of working remotely.
With MobileMatriX the history of the data and the data source is stored, which ensures that the quality of the data is always known.
Additionally, it is also possible to write the attributes observed in the field directly into the database as objects are measured. Furthermore,
since the software is graphically based, data quality and completeness can be checked immediately as data is acquired, which avoids
expensive re-measurement when quality control activities in the office detect deficiencies.
MobileMatriX is specially suited for the workflow in national mapping agencies, cadastral offices and engineering companies - it provides
extensive variety in the workflow, e.g. the connection to TPS and GPS sensors, and the possibility to extend the MobileMatriX framework
and implement required tools to support the workflow in big agencies.
