SpeleoLoc

SpeleoLoc is an application that helps cavers to navigate underground and to document cave systems using QR codes to identify places.

Project goals

One of the main goals of SpeleoLoc is underground positioning, designed to help exploration teams navigate more easily through complex cave systems. Another key goal is to simplify cave documentation and automate the information flow, both during exploration and in later analysis.

The system is based on placing QR code labels at points of interest inside caves, in both already known areas and newly explored sections. QR codes are scanned in the app and linked to corresponding points on existing maps, creating a practical form of underground "geolocation".

Each mapped point can store additional information, including text and media. After data synchronization between mobile devices, other teams can later identify their exact position on system maps, review existing information, and add new observations.

Another component of the system is placing QR codes at the entrance of explored caves. These codes are weblinks that can be scanned both with SpeleoLoc but can also be open on any mobile device online for broader access to relevant information.

Current status

The application is under development, in an alpha stage - some functions are not fully implemented and tested.

Future development

Dedicated web server for synchronization (now sync is done by sending files / FTP) Multiple data workflows
