On the Application and Development of Digital Topographic Mapping Technology
This article comprehensively explores the development history,current applications,and future development directions of digital topographic mapping technology.From the early application of computer technology in the 1960s to the embryonic stage of terrain map production,and then to the widespread application of high-resolution satellite remote sensing,drone aerial photography,and LiDAR technology in the 21st century,digital terrain surveying and mapping technology has achieved a qualitative leap.This article provides a detailed analysis of the applications and advantages of LiDAR measurement,drone surveying,and 3D modeling technology in terrain surveying.On this basis,the challenges faced by digital terrain map surveying and mapping technology were discussed,such as the automation of data processing,the integration and application of multi-source data,and the demand for high-resolution surveying and mapping.The future development direction was proposed,including the trend of technology integration,processing automation,and fine surveying and mapping,in order to provide reference for relevant personnel.
