Mobile mapping system for historic built heritage and GIS integration: a challenging case study

A mobile mapping system (MMS) demonstrates significant potential for surveying complex historic urban landscapes, such as Sabbioneta's center, despite challenges like narrow streets and GNSS signal interference. The study reveals that MMS can achieve high data density and accuracy suitable for urban modeling, even in stratified historical contexts where traditional survey guidelines are difficult to follow. Integration with geographic-topographic databases (DBGT) in a GIS environment further enhances its utility for cartographic and three-dimensional information modeling. This approach offers a rapid and effective method for documenting built heritage, supporting urban planning and preservation efforts.
