ADVANCED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) PROVIDING MODELING, DECISION SUPPORT, VISUALIZATION, SONIFICATION, WEB INTERFACE, RISK MANAGEMENT, SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS, SENSOR TELEMETRY, FIELD VIDEO, AND FIELD AUDIO

摘要

An advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) providing modeling, analysis, Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), data visualization, data sonification, web interface, risk management, sensitivity analysis, and telemetry capabilities is described. Telemetry can be provided by field sensors, field video, and/or field audio, and can be recorded or provided live in either direct or analyzed form. Data visualizations can be displayed along with GIS graphics, and can be superimposed or otherwise integrated with GIS graphics. GIS graphics can be used as the basis for an interactive user interface for other parts of the system. Web interfaces can support remote use, server based implementations, and/or collaboration. Advanced multi-channel data sonification can be used to prevent visual overloading of GIS graphics and interactions with it. The system can include rich data processing capabilities and interconnections of these so as to facilitate powerful data visualization and sonification results and can support multidimensional user interface devices.
