Smart Mapping for Aerial View Captured Images

“Smart Mapping for Aerial View Captured Images” will be used as nano-satellite aerial camera system for the UTP Edusat 1. The purpose of this project is to build a satellite camera system that can be controled from the ground station and to combine the random aerial images captured by the nano-satellites to produce an aerial mapping view. The task of image reconstruction for this images combining is to determine the overlapping and hence images distribution over the cross-section using mosaicking techniques. This satellite camera system is consist of two part which are the satellite camera and the ground station interface that will include the images stitching process that use particular image processing software such as Autostich and Roborealm for the interface. For the first part, the project works required to find the suitable techniques and software to stitch the images and then develop the interface for the ground station that capable to control the camera from ground when the satellite being launch to the sky such as to contorl the images quality and the shutter timing of the camera. For the next part, author focusing in designing the aerial camera system for the nano-satellite that uses wireless technology. The results and the system that developed in this FYP will be integrated with the “UTP EDUSAT 1” project. This report will mainly reflect the background, problem statement, objectives, methodology and lastly the result of this project.
