A new algorithm for undertaking three-dimensional (3D) terrain mapping in autonomous reconnaissance has been presented in this paper. The novel algorithm generates 3D discrete terrain data that is acquired from terrain surface using inertial sensors. The algorithm uses fractal interpolation to gener...
