An open source sonar survey pipeline autonomous boats, recording to chart

[maxschwartziv]

I’m working on software pipeline for turning sonar recordings from fishfinders into usable charts on an android device. I think it’s still pretty clunky. I’d appreciate any advice, if you want to be in the closed test of the android app send me an e-mail that has an associated google play account.

@maxschwartziv,

This looks really great!

I hope it’s OK with you but I’ve changed the category to “Blog” so that it shows up on the front page of ardupilot.org.

Made a live demo of the mapping app! One mile long transect of a lake in missouri, nothing interesting to see on the bottom but it can give you a sense of the interface.
