GeoVis

The first main goal of the project is a setup to visualize relevant data during a tunnel construction or relevant data within a city model. In order to navigate the available geometry and measurement data, raw laser scan data needs to be pre-processed and prepared for hardware optimized rendering. Developing the necessary geometry processing algorithms for preparing this and other kinds of huge amounts of raw discrete geometry for both rendering and engineering tasks constitutes the second major goal. Furthermore all geometric data is geo-referenced. This ensures the ability to combine different data layers. Although, a number of off-the-shelf solutions for individual components of the workflow in this project exist, no integrated solution has been demonstrated. In the process of combining solutions from strategic research additional problems will arise, that have not been addressed before.
