Cave Navigation Mapping
Current cave navigation techniques
Manual surveying
Knowledge from past
Tour guide
Current techniques are archaic and old fashioned. Lets bring make this easier by creating a system to autonomously create 3D maps of caves.
3D Mapping
Stitching 3D images from three connected cameras to create a 3D map
Photos are stitched where they overlap
Camera 1
Photos are taken every few seconds to create a continues map from polygons
Camera 3
3D Infrared cameras
Projector
Camera 2
Projection Mapping
The user can upload cave routes to the device to use it as a navigation system
Pop up landmark notifications
