PREPARE FOR FANCY ANIMATION EFFECTS!!!
-
OverviewGeospatial Quantifying ToolConvert contour and point data from paper to digital formatCreate 2D and 3D visualizations of contour mapAccurately calculate area/volume
-
Movin on up to a higher dimension!
-
Target ConsumerConstruction and Engineering IndustryBiddingEngineers design project for bigwigsBigwigs put project out for contractor biddingContractors bids are often determined by quantities of earth that must be added/removedAllows companies to track progress on large projects
-
Target Consumer18,000 contractors in the US, doing over $14 billion yearly 283 in Utah doing $250 millionBechtel: $2 billionModern Continental: $800 millionSmall fixins for everyone elseNeed for a reasonably priced product

ComponentsDigitizer Interface2D Visualization3D VisualizationGeometric Calculations 2D and 3DUser Interface
-
Digitizer Interface
-
Digitizing AttributesDigitizing Board & PuckPuck can determine its position relative to the board with .005Can also be used as a mouse for the UISerial I/O
-
2D AttributesTop-Down View Multi-layeredDifferent elevations represented by contour map
-
2D Visualization
-
3D AttributesWire Frame modelsShading based upon elevation levelAdvantages to 3D modelSuperintendent can get better understanding of finished projectError detectionAbnormal changes in elevationsImpress prospective clients
-
3D Visualization
-
Geometric Calculations2DArea calculated by transforming contour map into bounded polygons3DVolume calculated by integrating over the area calculations
-
Proposed ExtensionsFull 3D Effectsrotation and zoomingReport GenerationImage generation (jpegs, gifs) Paper reports
