Large-scale spatial data visualization method based on augmented reality

Background A task assigned to space exploration satellites involves detecting the physical environment within a certain space.However,space detection data are complex and abstract.These data are not conducive for researchers'visual perceptions of the evolution and interaction of events in the space environment.Methods A time-series dynamic data sampling method for large-scale space was proposed for sample detection data in space and time,and the corresponding relationships between data location features and other attribute features were established.A tone-mapping method based on statistical histogram equalization was proposed and applied to the final attribute feature data.The visualization process is optimized for rendering by merging materials,reducing the number of patches,and performing other operations.Results The results of sampling,feature extraction,and uniform visualization of the detection data of complex types,long duration spans,and uneven spatial distributions were obtained.The real-time visualization of large-scale spatial structures using augmented reality devices,particularly low-performance devices,was also investigated.Conclusions The proposed visualization system can reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of a large-scale space,express the structure and changes in the spatial environment using augmented reality,and assist in intuitively discovering spatial environmental events and evolutionary rules.

DATA MODEL AND VISUALIZATION OF 3D CITY LANDSCAPE BASED ON INTEGRATED DATABASES

Data acquisition and modeling are the two important, difficult and costful aspects in a Cybercity project. 2D-GIS is mature and can manage a lot of spatial data. Thus 3D-GIS should make the best of data and technology of 2D-GIS. Construction of a useful synthetic environment requires integration of multiple types of information like DEM, texture images and 3D representation of objects such as buildings. In this paper, the method for 3D city landscape data model and visualization based on integrated databases is presented. Since the data volume of raster are very huge, special strategies(for example, pyramid gridded method) must be adopted in order to manage raster data efficiently. Three different methods of data acquisition, the proper data structure and a simple modeling method are presented as well. At last, a pilot project of Shanghai Cybercity is illustrated.

A Prototypical 3D Graphical Visualizer for Object-Oriented Systems

This paper describes a framework for visualizing object-oriented systems within a 3D interactive environment. The 3D visualizer represents the structure of a program as Cylinder Net that simultaneously specifies two relationships between objects within 3D virtual space. Additionally it represents additional relationships on demand when objects are moved into local focus. The 3D visualizer is implemented using a 3D graphics toolkit, TOAST, that implements 3D widgets and 3D graphics to ease the programming task for 3D visualization.

Research on 3D Modeling and Visualization of Coal Pillars for Surface Protection

In order to safely exploit coal resource, protection coal pillars must be prepared in coal mines. Some correlative parameters of protection coal pillar are calculated by Drop face and Drop line methods. Models of protecting surface objects and coal pillars are established by TIN modeling and object-oriented technique. By using ACCESS2000as the database and the VC＋＋ and OpenGL as the language, the calculation of protective coal pillars is realized and the 3D-visulizaiton system for protected objects on ground surface and for coal pillars is developed. The system can obtain the data of characteristic points on the surface interactively from the digitized mine topography map, constructing 3D model automatically. It can also obtain the interrelated parameters of the coal seam and drill hole data from existing geolog!cal surveying database to calculate the location, surface area and the total coal columns. The whole process can be computed quickly and accurately. And the 3D visualization system was applied in a mine, showing that the system solve the problem of complex calculation, not only realized the automatic 3D mapping and visualization of coal pillars for buildings protection, but also greatly improves the working efficiency.

Unified Data Model of Urban Air Pollution Dispersion and 3D Spatial City Model:Groundwork Assessment towards Sustainable Urban Development for Malaysia

Understanding the behavior of urban air pollution is important en route for sustainable urban development (SUD). Malaysia is on its mission to be a developed country by year 2020 comprehends dealing with air pollution is one of the indicators headed towards it. At present monitoring and managing air pollution in urban areas encompasses sophisticated air quality modeling and data acquisition. However, rapid developments in major cities cause difficulties in acquiring the city geometries. The existing method in acquiring city geometries data via ground or space measurement inspection such as field survey, photogrammetry, laser scanning, remote sensing or using architectural plans appears not to be practical because of its cost and efforts. Moreover, air monitoring stations deployed are intended for regional to global scale model whereby it is not accurate for urban areas with typical resolution of less than 2 km. Furthermore in urban areas, the pollutant dispersion movements are trapped between buildings initiating it to move vertically causing visualization complications which imply the limitations of existing visualization scheme that is based on two-dimensional (2D) framework. Therefore this paper aims is to perform groundwork assessment and discuss on the current scenario in Malaysia in the aspect of current policies towards SUD, air quality monitoring stations, scale model and detail discussion on air pollution dispersion model used called the Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM). This research proposed the implementation of three-dimensional (3D) spatial city model as a new physical data input for OSPM. The five Level of Details (LOD) of 3D spatial city model shows the scale applicability for the dispersion model implementtation. Subsequently 3D spatial city model data commonly available on the web, by having a unified data model shows the advantages in easy data acquisition, 3D visualization of air pollution dispersion and improves visual analysis of air quality monitoring in urban areas.

Seismic data analysis based on spatial subsets

There are some limitations when we apply conventional methods to analyze the massive amounts of seismic data acquired with high-density spatial sampling since processors usually obtain the properties of raw data from common shot gathers or other datasets located at certain points or along lines. We propose a novel method in this paper to observe seismic data on time slices from spatial subsets. The composition of a spatial subset and the unique character of orthogonal or oblique subsets are described and pre-stack subsets are shown by 3D visualization. In seismic data processing, spatial subsets can be used for the following aspects： （1） to check the trace distribution uniformity and regularity; （2） to observe the main features of ground-roll and linear noise; （3） to find abnormal traces from slices of datasets; and （4） to QC the results of pre-stack noise attenuation. The field data application shows that seismic data analysis in spatial subsets is an effective method that may lead to a better discrimination among various wavefields and help us obtain more information.

3D Spatial Information Intended for SDI: A Literature Review, Problem and Evaluation

In this paper, first we are going to discuss briefly the importance of 3D information, and its application because of the Increasing demand for detailed information about real world objects and phenomena including altimetry and planimetry data (X, Y, Z), then we will explain in short the available methods for 3D measurement. It’s important to note that the Information collection by itself cannot define and sufficiently provide all the necessary actions to be taken in order to get them accessible and useful for users. The data management and establishment of a proper and reliable DBMS and finally a GIS system at the same time are vital crucial in the course of 3D application that will be discussed throughout the paper. The existing drawbacks and elements needed to be considered for the cartographic presentation are the key issues in three-dimensional world visualization. The elaboration on the 3D information and its knowledge transfer to the users in a SDI framework as well as the requirement recognition of beneficiary organizations will be the next step in this paper and the most probable problems will be studied in this stage. At the final stage, we’ll come up with conclusion, warnings and recommendation.

VT3D:a visualization toolbox for 3D transcriptomic data

Data visualization empowers researchers to communicate their results that support scientific reasoning in an intuitive way.Three-dimension(3D)spatially resolved transcriptomic atlases constructed from multi-view and high-dimensional data have rapidly emerged as a powerful tool to unravel spatial gene expression patterns and cell type distribution in biological samples,revolutionizing the understanding of gene regulatory interactions and cell niches.However,limited accessible tools for data visualization impede the potential impact and application of this technology.Here we introduce VT3D,a visualization toolbox that allows users to explore 3D transcriptomic data,enabling gene expression projection to any 2D plane of interest,2D virtual slice creation and visualization,and interactive 3D data browsing with surface model plots.In addition,it can either work on personal devices in standalone mode or be hosted as a web-based server.We apply VT3D to multiple datasets produced by the most popular techniques,including both sequencing-based approaches(Stereo-seq,spatial transcriptomics,and Slide-seq)and imaging-based approaches(MERFISH and STARMap),and successfully build a 3D atlas database that allows interactive data browsing.We demonstrate that VT3D bridges the gap between researchers and spatially resolved transcriptomics,thus accelerating related studies such as embryogenesis and organogenesis processes.The source code of VT3D is available at https://github.com/BGI-Qingdao/VT3D,and the modeled atlas database is available at http://www.bgiocean.com/vt3d_example.

Next Generation Semantic and Spatial Joint Perception——Neural Metric-Semantic Understanding

Efficient perception of the real world is a long-standing effort of computer vision.Mod⁃ern visual computing techniques have succeeded in attaching semantic labels to thousands of daily objects and reconstructing dense depth maps of complex scenes.However,simultaneous se⁃mantic and spatial joint perception,so-called dense 3D semantic mapping,estimating the 3D ge⁃ometry of a scene and attaching semantic labels to the geometry,remains a challenging problem that,if solved,would make structured vision understanding and editing more widely accessible.Concurrently,progress in computer vision and machine learning has motivated us to pursue the capability of understanding and digitally reconstructing the surrounding world.Neural metric-se⁃mantic understanding is a new and rapidly emerging field that combines differentiable machine learning techniques with physical knowledge from computer vision,e.g.,the integration of visualinertial simultaneous localization and mapping(SLAM),mesh reconstruction,and semantic un⁃derstanding.In this paper,we attempt to summarize the recent trends and applications of neural metric-semantic understanding.Starting with an overview of the underlying computer vision and machine learning concepts,we discuss critical aspects of such perception approaches.Specifical⁃ly,our emphasis is on fully leveraging the joint semantic and 3D information.Later on,many im⁃portant applications of the perception capability such as novel view synthesis and semantic aug⁃mented reality(AR)contents manipulation are also presented.Finally,we conclude with a dis⁃cussion of the technical implications of the technology under a 5G edge computing scenario.
