Earthscape, a Multi-purpose Interactive 3d Globe Viewer for Hybrid Data Visualization and Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hybrid visualization and interaction tool EarthScape is presented here. The software is able to display simultaneously LiDAR point clouds, draped videos with moving footprint, volume scientific data (using volume rendering, isosurface and slice plane), raster data such as still satellite images, vector data and 3D models such as buildings or vehicles. The application runs on touch screen devices such as tablets. The software is based on open source libraries, such as OpenSceneGraph, osgEarth and OpenCV, and shader programming is used to implement volume rendering of scientific data. The next goal of EarthScape is to perform data analysis using ENVI Services Engine, a cloud data analysis solution. EarthScape is also designed to be a client of Jagwire which provides multisource geo-referenced video fluxes. When all these components will be included, EarthScape will be a multi-purpose platform that will provide at the same time data analysis, hybrid visualization and complex interactions. The software is available on demand for free at [email protected].

متن کاملAn Easy Viewer for Out-of-core Visualization
In this paper, we propose a viewer for huge point-sampled models by combining out-of-core technologies with view-dependent level-of-detail (LOD) control. This viewer is designed on the basis of a multiresolution data structure we have developed for gaze-guided visualization and transmission of 3D point sets. In order to reduce memory loads for huge point sets on general PC platforms, we introdu...
