The work collected here grows out of learning through making and experimentation, and is shared openly so others can learn from it, build on it, or teach with it.
It includes projects, tools, documentation, and educational resources.
The project combines an Arduino-based survey device with a Python processing workflow. In the field, measurements are checked against GPS quality, fix age, platform orientation, speed, spacing, and depth stability. Afterward, the accepted dataset is turned into depth maps, interpolated surfaces, contour maps, and georeferenced outputs.
OMEGA is organized around three stages: capture, validation, and reconstruction. That structure makes it useful both as a practical field system and as a way of explaining how the larger workflow operates.
The public repository includes the Arduino logger, Python mapping scripts, documentation, example data, and a visual diagram of the overall pipeline.
Projects in environmental sensing, geospatial mapping, communications, physical computing, and adjacent research-driven work.
Oceanic Measurement & Environmental Geospatial Array is a custom underwater sensing and mapping system built around field data collection, sensor integration, logging, bathymetric reconstruction, and geospatial visualization.
A developing companion project focused on marine communications, field networking, and moving data between distributed devices operating across shoreline and near-water environments.
It is still taking shape, but it will eventually have its own documentation, research notes, and technical pages here as the project becomes more defined.
These pages break the system into its main parts: how depth is measured, how mapping points are accepted or rejected, and how the Python workflow turns those accepted points into bathymetric outputs.
A compact guide to the full workflow: capture, validation, logging, and reconstruction.
Open pageHow sonar estimates depth, why the speed of sound matters, why temperature changes the reading, and where salinity fits into the larger picture.
Open pageHow GPS quality, fix age, motion limits, depth stability, and spacing determine whether a point becomes part of the mapping dataset.
Open pageHow accepted survey points are turned into interpolated surfaces, contour maps, KML files, and Google Earth overlays.
