Haiti: New Landscape of VisualizationUsing Crowdsourcing---Pattern for all of Latin America

More than 100 Terabytes of Data served by Viz Center

Delivered as Web Services Near Real-Time

Sensors/Imagery Cloud computing as processing

power that scales with disaster Linkage via Internet (hybrid,

satellite, fiber, wireless, mesh) Global donors and experts in

compelling actions to assist Latin America with GIS and imaging

Producing Near Real-Time Web ServicesLinking Disasters with Back-end Computing =

Crowdsourcing and Crowdfeeding, Serving out to Small Networks

Telascience = John Graham +

Esp. across small networks

Focus of project is GIS and Imagery that can be sharedSo, Goal is Open Source and Public Data that can be

shared with Latin America (not US FOUO or classified data).

Focus on web services that can actually help Latin America1. Disaster response and mitigation2. Environment and climate change3. Optimizing international trade4. Using imagery and GIS to build trust networks

Content Highlights:o Built to a single spec - worldwideo Over 1,000 analysts driving roads daily to verify accuracy and

respond to changes.o More than 260 road attributes – from turn restrictions and one-

way streets to lane counts, physical barriers and unique addresses.

o Millions of points of interest including hospitals, fuel stations, restaurants, shopping centers and sports arenas.

o Already used as part of most North American in-vehicle navigation systems

o New cars gather 360 degree panoramic video and LIDAR

Enhanced 3D City Models Being Built in Major CitiesRealistic 3D Buildings with texture provide orientation in complex surroundings,

Provides 3D base for Location-Based Services in Latin America

DESCRIPTIONo Enhanced 3D City Models improve consumer

guidance experience by making relevant buildings more realistic.

o Texture library brings realistic appearance of buildings and also enables customization

o Many roadway and model features are built from live map ensuring accurate road configuration, pedestrian walkways and city features

DATA FEATURESo Enhanced 3D City Models include realistic texture

applied to unique buildings with a concentration on street level

o Road configuration generated from NAVTEQ’s core map in order to match reality

o Realistic model of building shapes without distortion of imagery

o This content is delivered as an external file.o Enhanced 3D City Models integrate other content

including:

o Lane Markings and Dividers

o Features like parks, water, bridges and tunnels

o Enhanced 2D Footprints

COVERAGEo U.S: 14 citieso Canada: Torontoo Mexico: Mexico Cityo Brazil: Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiroo Argentina: Buenos Aires

FORMATo Planned support for all NAVTEQ formats including

GDF, SIF, RDF and NAVSTREETS

Working to do Global Derivates of Processed Imagery such asFire Information Management System (GFIMS)

http://geonetwork4.fao.org/firemap/

Goal: Daily Global Fire Map

Imagery Focus for Web Services•Focus is on NASA MODIS because it is collected almost daily.Also on other NASA imagery such as EO-1 and specialized data as for ozone, temperature, atmospheric information

•Focused on helping countries collect their own data as via aerial photography, UAVs, and cell phones and providing in appropriate collections available via web services

•Putting imagery into collection including one that is geo-rectified so can fit with maps (ex. Haiti telascience visualizations) http://hypercube.telascience.org/haiti

•Temporal imaging so can see changes through time and speed of fire, including with overlays of weather, with smartphones

•Use past real events to predict future, as severe storms, hurricanes, drought, floods, and other natural processes

Major use of Twitter, social networking tools for global emergency response including with Mexico and many Latin American countries, military

InRelief.org as Navy-SDSU partnership with Google Apps and Sites---Cloud for disaster response and collaboration

Major collaboration from NORTHCOM with imagery, GIS, social networking for disasters, major collaboration w Mexico

involvement of Latin America to begin x24 Mexico)

Exercise24 Europe was an international, collaborative exploration of communication, logistics, coordination, and response to a complex

emergency

(92 Countries, more than 49,000 people collaborating including many of Latin American countries, esp. Mexico with Tsunami concerns)

Using Imaging, GIS, Social Media, Smartphones, Crowdsourcing, and building tools to share with others like Latin America
