New mission for surveying,mapping and geomatics in Smart Earth era

Abstract

This paper first pointed out that Smart Earth is consisted of Digital Earth,Internet of Things(IOT),and cloud computing.Next,it analyzed the main features of Smart Earth and focused on the new missions of surveying,mapping and geomatics in the Smart Earth era.The authors believed that we have walked through the so called small surveying and that mainly serves topographic maps,and developed into the so called big surveying and mapping,the services of geospatial information.At present,we should seize the opportunity and expand new mission of surveying,mapping and geomatics in the Smart Earth era,and make surveying and mapping upgraded to smart surveying and mapping stage which could facilitate real-time intelligence collecting and processing massive spatial data,in order to provide service of spatial information and knowledge.
