Abstract :
Surface mappings are widely implemented for use in application of an autonomous robot especially in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle application such as forest monitoring for plantation and etc. A lot of surface mappings were implemented on large surface area with high altitude which needs a capable and special sensor to map such as satellite that produces geographical data for map. The paper proposed a low-altitude mapping which mapped at height of 150 cm from ground. Result shows 3D surface map on a predetermined surface with minimum error.
