The recent development of Mobile/Airborne Laser-Ranging/Multispectral-Imaging Mapping System is driven by the availability of compact ruggedized solid state lasers

charge coupled device camrea(CCD)

radar sensor

multispectral imaging scanner

Global Positioning System(GPS) and high precision Inertial Navigation System(INS). It is emerging as an attractive alternative to the traditional techniques for large scale spatial data and associated attributes in geographical information systems(GIS) capture. This paper provides the systematic introduction to the use of Mobile/Airborne Laser-Ranging/Multispectral Imaging Mapping System. The Airborne Laser-Ranging &Mutispectral-Imaging Mapping System

which is developed by our group in IRSA

is presented in this paper. This system has the ability of simultaneously capturing multispectral information and DEM

both of them are georeferenced and matched accurately by Laser-Ranging &Multispectral-Imaging Coupled Scanner(LARMICS) that is invented by our group.
