Field notes and technical write-ups from the AutoMap team — on SLAM accuracy, survey control, and capturing the environments GPS can’t reach.
Complex Infrastructure
Replacing 200+ static setups with an hour of walking — how a mobile SLAM backpack captures bridges and urban cityscapes without closing a single road.
Read articleSurvey Control for Global Accuracy
Tying GPS-denied SLAM captures to known survey control so underground and indoor maps meet real-world accuracy requirements.
Read articleDetailed Digital Twins
Where drones can’t fly — indoors, underground, in confined plant — ground-based mobile LiDAR builds the colourised digital twin instead.
Read articleLow Detail Subterranean Areas
A repeatability study through the Ernest Junction Railway, proving how consistently TerrusM holds its odometry in low-detail tunnels.
Read articleLinear SLAM Mapping
Mapping Wolston Rd end-to-end to measure how WildcatSLAM’s odometry performs over long, feature-light linear surface routes.
Read articleAutonomous Inspection Vehicle
Mounting an AutoMap scanner on an autonomous rover — developed with BIA5 — to map and inspect large sites repeatedly, with no operator on the loop.
Read articleSurvey Mapping
Why repeatability — not a single accurate capture — is the SLAM characteristic that makes a map trustworthy enough to survey against.
Read articleUnderground Localisation
An overview of the failure modes that decide whether a SLAM localisation holds underground — slip, drift, aliasing and global repeatability.
