Accurate time registration, georeferencing, and instantaneous feature extraction are important challenges for real-time mapping systems. The Geodetic Engineering Laboratory (TOPO) at the EPFL has designed a mobile platform to automatically determine the geometry of the road centerline: the Photobus. Our system fully exploits the concept of georeferencing by combining navigation data with video of real-time mapping that encompasses a mobile acquisition platform dedicated for a well-defined task.
