Welcome to the wiki for the Terrestrial Mapping Platform!

About the Terrestrial Mapping Platform

Our overall goal is to test, document, and support v1.0 of our ground based multimodal Terrestrial Mapping Platform (TMP) kit and associated software workflows, working at a relatively small scale and cost, designed for practitioners to deploy with end-to-end analysis capabilities.

To validate our solution and documentation we will build two crafts based on our TMP design, field test them and the software workflows, and then donate the craft to appropriate institutions in Iceland.

The complete assemblage includes:

The craft (drone), each equipped with:
- LiDAR and laser time-of-flight sensor
- Visible light and near infrared capable lens
- Accelerometer and 3 axis gyrometer
Magnetometer with ground drag sled
Ground control points (detectable in all sensor modes)
Hardware Designs
Surveying and data collection app
Analysis workflows
- Discrete
- Multimodal
User documentation (this wiki, plus a few other pages to be linked)
