advancements in visualization of remotely sensed 3d data

Matt Bethel Advancements In Visualization Of

Remotely Sensed 3D Data

Agenda

• Review of 3D point data sources

• Historical methods of managing this data

• Introduction to a revolutionary and disruptive

technology for accessing and rendering unlimited

amounts of 3D data

3D Point Data Sources

• ATE

• SAR / IFSAR

• LiDAR / LADAR

– Airborne

– Mobile

– Terrestrial

– Underwater

– Autonomously collected

• Newer processes

– SFM (computer vision)

– SGM (photogrammetry)

Historical Point Data Handling Methods

• Rasterizing elevation data – Works well in open land

cover

– Cannot represent multiple height features

– Does not work with FOPEN data

• Loading points into memory (RAM)

• Point decimation

• Streaming from disc

• Vectorizing features

Advanced Spatial Indexing Solution • Real time 3D data rendering at full resolution and detail

• Massive data (density, extent, or both) is now accessible and usable

• Compressed data size

• Data loads in 1 second no matter the size

• Unlimited amount of data to manage, load, display, etc.

• Low computer resource requirements

• Preserves true 3D data, not derivative products

• Capable of streaming 3D data across secured network or internet

• Cost savings - make use of data that already exists

• Centralized data storage

• Version control

• Opportunity for 3D imagery and 3D models
