The 3D Solution for Big Data

FMV is tomorrow’s aerial imagery and LIDAR tomorrow’s standard for rapid and accurate geometry.

Rapid, high resolution, and increasingly accurate geospatial datasets available to the intelligence communities continue to exponentially increase. Most existing tools can no longer effectively distribute, manage, and properly leverage these large datasets in a timely manner. Geoweb3d, built ground up atop modern GPU technology, can seamlessly load these native datasets in real-time and fuse with all other datasets and feeds for high performance visualization and highly accurate analysis. Geoweb3d is a COTS solution providing a highly scalable and interoperable 3D component for those in the GEOINT community that need to get the most out of their data.

Full Motion Video (FMV)

With more than 7000 unmanned ground and aerial systems collecting video, demand has never been greater for  effective tools providing timely analysis and means for fusion with disparate geospatial datasets. Geoweb3d will be demonstrating real-time, HD quality, UAV FMV projected accurately within its native 3D geospatial context via embedded KLV data. As fast as the FMV can be made accessible, participants in the intelligence analysis can view and integrate these feeds for near real-time persistent surveillance.  The video is draped atop all 3D content, including LIDAR if applicable, providing for superior geographic cognition, GPU powered analysis, and temporal feed integration.  HD video is now just another GIS layer.

LIDAR – No Longer Too Big or Too Slow

Visit the NAVTEQ booth to get a demo of Geoweb3d’s LIDAR capabilities and to discuss how leveraging the GPU now makes LIDAR just another GIS layer.  Watch as hundreds of millions of points from native LAS files are loaded within seconds and made available immediately for 3D GIS fusion and analysis such as visibility and measurement.  Read more of Geoweb3d’s LIDAR capabilities here.

3D Stereo

Stop by for a demo of Geoweb3d’s new immersive 3D Stereo capability. With a single click, immediately convert any 3D scene into a stunning 3D immersive visualization. Supporting both activeand passive stereo, the product scales in cost/quality from anaglyph, to nVidia’s 3D Vision solution, and on to the InfiniteZ virtual-holographic display at the high end.

Getting Close to the Sensor

Time critical intelligence implies an analysis workflow close to the sensor. Preprocessing and data restructuring prior to use introduces delay. Geoweb3d has the ability to fuse big data sources of FMV, imagery, LIDAR (native and vector extraction), SIGINT, and others in native formats and to stream the results to others in real-time.

Leveraging the latest in GPU technology, hundreds of millions of points can be dropped into the application and loaded within seconds.  The performance, visualization tailoring, and analysis capabilities are amongst the best in the industry. It is clear that point cloud data will play an increasingly vital role in all future geospatial visualization and analysis.

At the most recent ESRI Users Conference, Geoweb3d was demonstrating integration with the NAVTEQ True Mobile LIDAR product.  400+ million points loaded within seconds and could be rendered in addition to city wide 3D datasets at highly interactive frame rates. Screenshots of the NAVTEQ Manhattan dataset rendered in Geoweb3d are below.

These datasets soon becomes erroneous for accurate analysis and are no longer true to the original data and geography.  Analysis derived from inaccurate data is by definition flawed.

LIDAR datasets, together with Geoweb3d, can now change this and offer users requiring accuracy an exciting new alterative.  Point cloud collection methods amongst Aerial, Terrestrial, Mobile, and portable Flash are becoming more abundant and cost effective as demand continues to increase.  With tools such as Geoweb3d, the means to visualize and analyze these large datasets is no longer prohibitive to use.  Economy of scale will continue to drive LIDAR data into the mainstream.  Why would users want to continue to use inaccurate data?

Geoweb3d can fuse these datasets, both interior and exterior, with all other GIS datasets.  This is the best of both worlds.  Users now have pixel accurate visualization and analysis from LIDAR together with reach back for all attribution and meta data access that GIS datasets provide.  It is a highly scalable solution and will increasingly displace sole reliance of traditional datasets for those users requiring accuracy and generally higher quality.

Users would never use an artistic rendering of imagery when aerial photography is available.  The same analogy now applies to ground based geometric datasets.

Geoweb3d is committed to providing users a highly capable and scalable LIDAR visualization and analysis solution.  Pixel accurate measurement and viewshed visibility analysis are supported in the initial release.

Geoweb3d will be demonstrating its 3D stereo integration with the Infinite Z zSpace platform.  This new technology allows users to step inside of GIS datasets with virtual-holographic detail.  Head tracking allows users to simply look around for intuitive and natural navigation.

Stop by and see what is now possible with native LIDAR point cloud data (LAS Files).  Geoweb3d will be showing the NAVTEQ Mobile LIDAR product and its ability for fusion with other GIS datasets for unmatched performance, accuracy, analysis, and detail.  Users can even see these datasets in stunning immersive 3D stereo – an experience you won’t want to miss.

Some additional features on display are new water, clouds, support for TMS and ESRI’s SDC data formats, icons, labeling, data management, our JavaScript API, and others.

For ESRI users, stop by and see just how easy it is to extend your workflow and data into the Geoweb3d Desktop product.

For those unable to attend the conference, these features will have description, screenshots, and videos coming soon.

With over 40 videos available, the new site makes it easier to learn more about the products, the advantages of this new technology, and the benefits of incorporating Geoweb3d into their new or existing solutions.

The new website  features improved navigation and accessibility to resources for learning about the Desktop product and for developers, the SDK.  A dedicated learn section has been added to provide user tutorials with description and an accompanying video for each of the features.

We are confident that our prospective and existing users will find their experience on the new website to be greatly improved.
