Satellite Integrating Mapper

This is a MFD built to use a satellite in orbit to update a base map of Droo. The MFD will detect satellites in orbit with 'Map' in the name (This can be edited to a custom string with a variable found in the program), and display the orbit of the selected sat on a equirectangular map.

The Mapper

The MFD has 3 mapping modes. These are a slope map, a height map and a basic visual map. Each map has a group of settings that can be edited to give different results. The MFD will by default also map underwater terrain, which can be turned off with 'Edit Map'. Basic information about the satellite used for mapping is displayed, and the selected satellite may also be changed.

The Slope Map

The slope map will get the average slope at a pixel's position, with red being the steepest slope, and green the gentlest slope on land, blue the gentlest slope on water. The slope that is displayed as pure red, and the size of the square around the point of land used to calculate can be edited with 'Edit Map'

The Elevation Map

The height map will display height with black being the lowest and white the highest. The lowest elevation given the white value, and the colour given to 0m ASL, can both be changed with 'Edit Map'.

The Visual Map

A basic map showing the colours of the terrain shaded with elevation. The colour intensity given to 0m ASL and the height of maximum colour intensity may also be edited.

Note: Several more options can be edited using variables present within the Vizzy, such as map resolution and the satellite path resolution. The MFD has been edited to allow for a horizontal resolution of 360 pixels.
