Abstract

Objectives

With the rapid development of low-altitude economy and the widespread application of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology

traditional manual-controlled single-UAV operation modes can no longer meet the requirements of large-scale

periodic

and high-efficiency surveying and mapping tasks. This paper

for the first time

proposes the concept of a new surveying and mapping infrastructure based on UAV dock networks (DN-SMI). It aims to define its core characteristics as an infrastructure

including networked networking capability

large-scale support capability

platform-based service capability

and unified spatiotemporal benchmark

and to establish a systematic technical framework and implementation scheme for DN-SMI.

Methods

Based on the evolution of multi-platform observation systems (satellite

aerial

low-altitude UAV

and ground platforms)

this paper first identifies the limitations of existing UAV mapping modes and the necessity of upgrading to a dock-network-based infrastructure. It then defines the core characteristics of DN-SMI: networked deployment of intelligent UAV docks enabling wide-coverage and rapid-response operations; large-scale support through cloud-edge-end collaboration for massive data processing; platform-based services supporting plug-and-play multi-sensors and on-demand data products; and unified spatiotemporal benchmark via integration with continuous operational reference system. A four-layer technical framework is constructed

covering the hardware layer (UAV platforms

standardized payload interfaces

and grid-deployed intelligent docks)

communication layer (5G-Advanced/6G and Internet of things-based low-altitude ubiquitous connectivity)

processing layer (offline structure from motion (SfM) and online simultaneous localization and mapping for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction

plus intelligent image interpretation for thematic mapping)

and service layer (crowdsourced task distribution

automated processing pipeline

and visualized product delivery). Key technologies are elaborated from four aspects: multi-UAV collaborative data acquisition (including optimized views photogrammetry for complex urban scenes)

large-scale scene 3D reconstruction (efficient image matching

parallel SfM

distributed 3D Gaussian splatting

and real-time photogrammetry)

thematic information extraction (accurate building polygonal mapping and parametric wireframe reconstruction)

and an integrated service platform with crowdsourcing mechanism. Finally

typical application scenarios are demonstrated

including urban governance and renewal

engineering construction monitoring

disaster emergency response

and environmental protection monitoring.

Results

The proposed DN-SMI concept and technical framework address the bottlenecks of traditional UAV mapping in large-scale

periodic

and high-timeliness tasks. The four-layer architecture and key technologies have been validated through practical deployments

demonstrating significant improvements in data acquisition efficiency

3D reconstruction quality

and service delivery standardization. The crowdsourced service platform supports on-demand

traceable

and standardized geospatial product delivery

effectively lowering the threshold for high-precision mapping and providing reliable support for urban digital twins

low-altitude economy

and smart city management.

Conclusions

The DN-SMI represents a fundamental shift of UAV surveying and mapping from a single data collection tool to a networked

intelligent

and service-oriented infrastructure. The proposed concept

core characteristics

four-layer technical framework

and key technologies provide systematic theoretical guidance for technological development and engineering practice. Future work should focus on enhancing robustness under complex environments

improving legality (airspace compliance

data security

privacy protection)

and ensuring universality (cost-effective deployment and cross-regional interoperability)

so as to promote DN-SMI as a reliable

lawful

and ubiquitous spatiotemporal information infrastructure for the digital economy and low-altitude economy.
