The value of VGI, OSS and Open Data in the GeoInt context

VGI, user engagement, crowdsourcing, empowering citizens

¡ Citizens as data sources in a mobile connectivity environment ¡  Citizens as sensors, sensor platforms or data collectors eg. drones

¡  Five EU projects introduced at the GEO-X last week in this subject

¡  Products eg. OpenStreetMaps or in Hungary: www.turistautak.hu

¡ Open source (FOSS4G) as enabler to involve ¡  the citizens (social networks, apps on mobile and desktop)

¡  professionals in academia, NGOs and SMEs but governments in data gathering, analysis, visualization and publishing/reporting

¡  Jacqueline McGlade’s recent announcement at the UNEP Live Session: an initiative to establish citation index not only on the authors but also on those, who gathered the data.

¡  Open Gov’tal Data Policy, Re-use of PSI GIS/EO applications with open source platform Conference on Defense Geospatial Intelligence

The central idea is our need to have open access to a common platform (i.e., World Wind) and open access to the basic data (imagery, elevation and location [i.e., OSM] -  World Wind again, via any WMS server)

so that by empowering also the citizens our communities (local government, SMEs and academia) can build the necessary intelligence part.

What Is the Europe Challenge? 2013 was the first year for the Europe Challenge! This annual event will inspire and challenge Europe's best and brightest for geospatial solutions that serve the European and International community. And do this in ways that address the real needs of local, regional, national or international interests. There were two ways to win. Either as a university team project or as a professional team project. University Team Project (text of the Call) Build an application that serves the INSPIRE Directive and uses NASA's open source virtual globe technology, World Wind. To do this you must establish a team of three to five students, from a single university, with any mix of undergraduate, graduate and PhD students. Each team must have a mentor. The mentor can be a professor, an associate or assistant professor, or an official lecturer at the same university as the team. Together decide, design and build a geospatial application that serves local, regional, national or international interests guided by the INSPIRE Directive, Professional Team Project (text of the Call) Small businesses can compete in the professional category with the same criteria as above only there is no limit on team members or any mentor requirement. This is a great opportunity to showcase your company’s talents, while providing premier value to the European community.

3D Visualization of Air-quality Dynamics •  Show a bird’s-eye 3D view of air-quality

data acquired at time intervals from multiple sensors

•  Sensors are connected with a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) to cover the area of interest.

•  Data are represented geometrically and colorized to easily recognize high-to-low values.

•  Areas affected by a potential risk for health are quickly recognizable. Users can adjust data-acquisition times. For further details:

Real-Time Geospatial Renderer by Gaea+ Extends the World Wind Java core with features crucial for advanced real-time rendering of geospatial information Optimized Render-to-Texture capabilities enable visualization of large vector datasets. A shader has been built directly into the render-loop, enabling custom-oriented visual effects, deferred rendering and flexible support for WFS and GML. It allows to build mission-critical emergency response systems with special features (e.g. management capability of distributed massive datasets or photo-realistic presentation of the area of interest) Effective tool to support spatial planners by data visualization and manipulation.

Simulation Tool to Predict Wildfire Behavior This tool displays the potential movement of wildfire through the terrain via a particle system. The Wildfire Management Tool (WMT) introduces a new way to analyze and predict wildfire behavior. Instead of a static display, WMT animates the paths that fire will take through the terrain. A high density or concentration of paths called ‘fire highway.’ As the situation changes, WMT identifies new fire highways as well as areas where fire highways can be intercepted to stop the fire spread. Areas that are ‘slow fire’ paths are good for safe access and present windows of opportunity for control of fast moving fire highways. Details: www.emxsys.com

Multidimensional Viewer for Large Datasets Multidimensional Viewer allows users to present 3D information from different data sources. Large datasets of scalar or vector information, coming from point cloud data, can be optimally displayed as 3D information in real time, e.g., LiDAR point clouds, laser scanner point clouds, weather data from High Resolution Limited Area Model (HIRLAM).

PoliCrowd – A Social World Wind Platform PoliCrowd is a 3D participatory application allowing users to populate their geospatial information as represented on the virtual globe. Registered users can upload Points Of Interest (POIs) through their mobile devices and participatively interact with POIs on the globe, adding textual and multimedia content (e.g., images, audios & videos). Users can also add WMS layers to populate a catalogue of geographic content useful for scenario customization. Different projects can also be created, saved and shared to promote community participation. For further details: http://geomobile.como.polimi.it/policrowd
