Abstract
The objective of this paper is to build a map using a quadrocopter. In order to explore the surroundings and build a map, ultrasonic sensors and a camera sensor are used. As ultrasonic and camera sensors get information separately, they have to be synchronized. Through this synchronization, the location of the quadrocopter can be determined. At that point, the four cardinal points can be calculated by rotating the quadrocopter. The map is then built through the reconstruction of information colloected from a camera and ultrasonic sensors. The effectiveness of this scheme is demonstrated in a real environment.
