MagNav: airborne Magnetic anomaly Navigation

MagNav.jl contains a full suite of tools for airborne Magnetic anomaly Navigation (MagNav), including flight path & INS data import or simulation, mapping, aeromagnetic compensation, and navigation. Julia source code files are in the src folder and examples are in the runs folder. This package was developed as part of the DAF-MIT Artificial Intelligence Accelerator. More information on this effort is provided on the challenge problem website.

Note that the unit tests and examples, based on the doctoral thesis work by Albert Gnadt, are currently being expanded throughout the summer of 2022.

Data

Publicly available flight data can be automatically downloaded within the package itself. This dataset can also be directly downloaded from here. See the datasheet for high-level information about this dataset. Details of the flight data are described in the readme files within the readmes folder.
