Ariane

Ariane is a professional cave surveying and three-dimensional mapping application designed for cave divers, explorers, and surveyors. It converts survey measurements into detailed cave maps using reference coordinates, distances, headings, and depth or inclination readings. Users can visualize survey lines directly over satellite imagery to understand the geographic layout of underground passages. The software integrates with MNemo surveying devices to import measurements collected during underwater exploration. Cave cross sections can be described using angular vectors and adjustable orientation information. These measurements help construct three-dimensional representations of passages, including complex sinkhole structures. Completed cave models can be exported as OBJ files for visualization in compatible software. Ariane supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
