Yerevan plans to test Mobile Mapping technology, which will make it possible to create a full-fledged three-dimensional model of the city. This was announced at a working meeting at the mayor's office. The project is being implemented in an experimental format and will become the first step toward forming a digital twin of the capital.
The scanning will be carried out using mobile systems mounted on vehicles. They combine LiDAR sensors and 360° panoramic cameras, making it possible to capture the precise geometry of streets, buildings, and infrastructure. All data will be integrated into a unified GIS geoinformation system.
The technology is based on LiDAR, a laser scanning method that measures distances to objects and generates detailed 3D models. The resulting digital database can later be used for urban planning, analytics, and the implementation of solutions based on artificial intelligence.
