URBAN PLANNING

SDGs, Digital Tools and Smart Cities
Dr Zhixuan (Jenny) Yanga and Prof Abbas Rajabifard
The article addresses the insight of relations of SDGs, digital tools and smart cities, particularly, the imperative instruments of implementing SDGs in smart cities beyond digital tools, such as, networked infrastructure, knowledgeable community and intelligent governance.... [more]

SURVEYING

Mine surveying in Finland - Education and professional practices
Pasi Laurila
The maintenance of control network is a very basic task of mine surveyors. In many Finnish mines, control surveys can be seen as a weak point of the present surveying practices. It is quite obvious that standardization of mine surveys, and education related to control surveys, have to be developed in the coming years.... [more]

UAV

Large scale topographic mapping based on UAV and aerial photogrammetric technique
M Juraidi Ahmad, A Ahmad and K D Kanniah
In this study, the low cost UAV system was employed and the final output was successfully produced. This system is applicable for topographic mapping especially for small area compared to conventional aerial photogrammetry in producing topographic map... [more]

LASER SCANNING

2D-based indoor mobile laser scanning for construction digital mapping application
Chao Chen,Llewellyn Tang,Craig M Hancock,Jingjing Yan,Huib de Ligt and Penghe Zhang
This paper aims to introduce an innovative laser scanning method for indoor construction mapping. Although there are some weaknesses existing in this novel laser scanning method, the experimental results still indicate a good feasibility and potential of its application in indoor digital mapping...
