Nick Goumas, Research & Development Engineer, and Gideon Billings, Robotics Ph.D. Student at the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) utilize the hotel pool to take pictures of a checkerboard with the underwater robot's cameras, calibrating the depth perception of the two cameras later in the lab.

Nick Goumas, Research & Development Engineer and Gideon Billings, Robotics Ph.D. Student with the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) test out underwater robot on the Great Lakes.
The overall project goal is to develop a proof of concept that autonomous underwater vehicles can conduct image surveys. This image data would then be post-processed with various neural networks to detect and record the numbers of fish and mussels of certain species. This system would then be used to determine the populations of these species across the great lakes.

Historically, aerial mapmaking has been handled by governments and businesses alone. Who else could afford to put satellites in orbit or hire planes for private flyovers?
The notion that aerial imagery is only for the rich and powerful is being turned on its ear by an inspired group of DIY cartographers who have pioneered the field of grassroots mapping. The concept is simple: for about $100 in materials you can shoot aerial imagery that is higher resolution than any standard public satellite imagery. Using incredibly simple balloon and kite contraptions, you can capture the images on demand whenever you want, as often as you want.
Jeffrey Warren of MIT's Media Lab came up with the basic concept, which he calls "Grassroots Mapping," last year while working on a land-rights dispute in Lima, Peru. Then the BP oil spill happened, and the benefits of this method of mapping became urgently clear. Working with the Lousiana Bucket Brigade during the media blackout when FAA regulations prevented aircraft from flying lower than 4,000 feet above sensitive areas of the spill, Warren and the Grassroots Mapping team flew balloons and kites and captured incredibly vivid images of the oil spill's impacts. Using simple online cartographic tools, the photos can be stitched together into bigger maps, like this one of the Lake Borgne wetlands east of New Orleans captured on June 11th of last year.

CONTINGENCY OPERATING SITE MAREZ, Iraq – Specialist Charles Porowski, a cannon crewmember assigned to Forward Support Company G, 5th Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, locates a target by plotting grid coordinates on a map during a “Spur Ride” at Contingency Operating Site Marez, Iraq, Aug. 3, 2011. In addition to a nighttime map reading skills test, Porowski, a native of Cincinnati, completed a combat lifesaver, automations, communications, and weapons skills test to earn the honor of being inducted into the Order of the Spur.

Auburn University forestry researcher John Gilbert recently created an instructional booklet, “Mapping Your Land: An Overview for Landowners,” to help landowners use five online mapping program. It allows landowners to utilize maps, aerial photography, topographic layers, soils information, data collected with GPS units and even a visual simulation, such as adding images of trees on open fields.

I am playing around with conformal mappings using mathmap and inspired by sebprzd. This is a conformal mapping where f(z)=z^2.
CCAFS and CIAT conducted a Participatory Photography project with youth in Chiquimula, Guatemala. The objective of the project is to build a bridge between local voices and research institutions and policy makers to encourage the inclusion of local needs, wants and knowledge on climate change and agriculture of the next generation of farmers.
