Skyline Software Systems, Inc. • 3D Software company • Technology started in the 1990s • Network based data, over modem connections • Transition to GIS, 3D Globe in late 1990s • Network based globes, but early primary focus on standalone globes • Data ingest from native formats into terrain database for completely disconnected operation • Data can be overlaid at client in native formats • Recent focus includes mobile versions of client: Android, iOS • Version 1 released, Version 2 upcoming
Elevation / 3D Visualization • 3D Visualization can offer 2D perspective as well • Heights matter • Buildings • Doors • Windows • Objects • Full situational awareness with 3D data • Altitudes matter • Areas that are not flat • Airspace boundaries, SUAS
Desktop vs. Mobile • Mobile Limitations • Screen size • Resources (Processor, Storage, Memory) • Key, Common Requirements • Globe to Ground visualization • Potentially dense layers • Vector • Raster • 3D Models • Asset Tracking • Mensuration • Annotation
Desktop vs. Mobile • Dense layers • Streaming as much data as possible to minimize memory footprint • Attempt to more stringently limit memory utilization • Make use of shared resources to the greatest extent possible • GeoPackage • OGC compliant network sources (WMS, WFS) • Mensuration and Annotation • Device size/ HCI challenge • Asset Tracking * • Stream to the greatest extent possible • Use filters to limit unnecessary data flow
Screenshots • Mobile example from version 2 being developed • Ground distance measurement • Click 3 points, get the distance of each segment, and the total
Screenshots • Mobile example from version 2 • Viewshed 3D • Click viewer location and area to cover • Green shows visible areas, red invisible • This can work in reverse as well; who can see me
Screenshots • Mobile example from version 2 • Terrain Profile • First identify the path to examine
Screenshots • Now, examine the terrain profile • Max slopes • Min/Max Altitudes • Zoom in/out with typical gestures
