State-of-the-art topography mapping solutions and tools are cumbersome, labour-intensive, expensive, and time-consuming. ArteMapp enables simple, fast, and frequent mapping of terrain topography. The mapping process is just as easy as walking along an AR guided path using a hand-held mobile device, which makes this approach both practical and affordable. The solution especially addresses the need for repeated mapping for dynamically changing topography or for a quick topographical assessment of a site.

DSLL conducted initial quick tests of several mobile apps for smartphone sensor data recording and cloud sharing for AR-Assisted Smart Terrain Mapping experiment. Several Living Lab trials were done to capture smartphone location and other mobile phone data and turn these in topographic maps using LLcloud (https://www.llcloud.eu/), the multi-sensor cloud as a smart backend. The ArteMapp and DSLL team received a EUSPA award in 2022 for the further development of an ArteMapp mobile app. The ArteMapp mobile app was tested further with users in Living Lab trials and improved in terms of user interface and performance.
