“…The radiometrically stable instrument belongs to a new generation of airborne sensors, aimed at replacing older analogue airborne cameras used for surveying and topographic mapping (Petrie and Walker, 2007). In Switzerland, the Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo) and Leica Geosystems operate ADS40 instruments.…”

This paper focuses on the use of the Land-based Mobile Mapping System (LMMS) for the unscheduled updates of a National Base Map, which has nationwide coverage and was made using aerial photogrammetry. The objectives of this research are to improve the weak points of LMMS surveying for its application to the updates of a National Base Map (NBM), which has rigorous accuracy and quality standards. For this, methods were suggested for the (1) improvement of the accuracy of the Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) in the long-term exposure of environments with poor GPS reception; (2) elimination of mutual deviations between LMMS data obtained in duplicate to meet resolution standards; (3) devising an effective way of mapping objects using LMMS data; and (4) analysis of updatable regions and map layers via LMMS. To verify the suggested methods, experiments and analyses were conducted using two LMMS devices in four target areas for unscheduled updates of the National Base Map.

“…The Swiss Federal Office of Topography changed to working with digital data from airborne ADS40 sensors in 2008 (Kellenberger and Nagy 2008). The digital device is supposed to be spectrally and radiometrically superior to the analogue RC30 cameras (Petrie and Walker 2007). A satellite SPOT5 mosaic has also recently become available for the whole area of Switzerland.…”

Contribution of multi-source remote sensing data to predictive mapping of plant-indicator gradients within Swiss mire habitats

Remote-sensing plays an important role in wetland monitoring on the regional and global scale. In this study we assessed the potential of different optical sensors to map floristic indicator gradients across complex mire habitats at the stand level. We compared traditional CIR photographs from RC30 cameras with modern digital ADS40 data and SPOT5 satellite images as well as finescale topo-structure derived from LIDAR data. We derived about 70 spectral and 30 topo-structural variables and evaluated their ability to predict the mean ecological indicator values of the vegetation across a sample of 7 mire objects. The airborne images (RC30, ADS40) and the LI-DAR data were found to have a high potential for use in vegetation mapping; they explained on average 50% of the variation in observed ecological indicator values. The RC30 data slightly outperformed the less optimally collected ADS40 data. The LIDAR topo-structural variables showed equal overall predictive power as the airborne images, but they performed clearly better in predicting soil moisture, soil dispersion and light. Combining both airborne images and topo-structural data improved the predictions of all indicator values considerably. The combined use of these data sources is therefore recommended for use in fine-scale monitoring of priority habitats in nature conservation.
