Abstract
A method for generating maps of a desired area that are referenced to a universal uniform spatial reference frame includes a mobile platform having a mapping processor and at least one mapping sensor is provided. The mapping sensor is applied to determine the location of features to be mapped relative to the mobile platform. The mobile platform is moved to a new location, and the mapping sensor is further applied to determine the location of features to be mapped relative to the mobile platform. These steps are repeated until the desired area is mapped. The at least one mapping sensor is also applied to locate at least one position on the map of the desired area on a universal uniform spatial reference frame. Positions on the map of the desired area are transformed into the universal uniform spatial reference frame.
