GEO-SPATIAL VISUALIZATION AND AWARENESS OF EVENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to geospatial visualization of events. A visualization platform may serve as a middleware system that provides real-time access to disparate hardware, software, and databases and provides visualization of data from these systems. The visualization platform may be accessed and utilized from a variety of mobile devices. Data may be fed from systems into the visualization platform via portals based on a data catalog interface. In other embodiments, the platform provides access to externally referenced documentation and visual resources and links this information with geographic resources. In other embodiments, a platform allows users to submit content related to an event and/or collaborate around an event. The content may be organized, such as by predefined or ad hoc categories, location, date, time, etc. In another embodiment, the present disclosure allows for a platform that integrates 3-D mapping with geo-referenced videos and images through a web interface.
