![]() Remember what I made is just a prototype and there are large number of enhancements that can be made to make it much more complex and perfect in many ways. The orientation of the map also changes with the heading direction. The desired 3D model is also placed on the Google earth and moved accordingly. The whole process is repeated desired x number of times per second (depending on the rate of your GPS capture device) giving an effect of animation. Jquery is used to make an Ajax call to the specific rest service to get geolocation which is finally used to update maps on the browser. RestFul services structure is used to obtain the latest geolocation. I used Google maps for my 2D views and Google earth browser plugin for my 3D views. In one line: "We repeatedly pan in Google earth and move the marker in Google map to the next geolocation when available live from the server using Ajax". If you are aware of ajax, jquery, Rest Services, Google Map & Earth API and some Java, then it's just a piece of cake for you. The prototype is quite simple and there is no complex logic involved in it. ![]() English is not my first language so please don't mind any bad grammar here, as long as you get the sense of what I am writing. I am a regular lazy viewer of CodeProject and this is my first article to share the working behind my prototype. Below is the link of the video showing what we can achieve. I shall not be able to cover any video streaming part as that will be out of scope for this article and against my company's policies. In this article, I will cover the code of my prototype and the explanation side by side. Our clients are quite impressed with this and I am soon going to develop a full fledged interface. After 3 days of work, I ended up creating a successful prototype of what I desired. I also did research on Ajax, Jquery and restful services pattern so that I could interact with server side. I started my research and was impressed with bing maps initially but as they revoked their 3D maps feature, I ended up using Google maps for my solution. For the last couple of days, I have been thinking of making a sophisticated dashboard with live maps (all 3D, 2D, street view), tracking live positions of the camera, streaming video on the side with a whole lot of other information and settings to customize the dashboard view. To learn more about the project or to donate, visit The Earth Archive's website.I work for a company 'Momentum Technologies' in Australia which provides real time video streaming solutions. "Who is going to give them permission to fly over Brazil? The Brazilian government aren't," Disney said, referring to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s ongoing efforts to undermine science and open parts of the protected rainforest to commercial interests. Even with proper funding, he added, getting permission to fly a research aircraft over restricted airspaces would prove to be a logistical hurdle. Mat Disney, a professor in the University College London Department of Geography, told The Guardian that such a project would inevitably draw funding away from other research projects. That price tag has some other researchers worried about The Earth Archive's tenability. The project would likely take decades, Fisher said, but the resulting snapshot of Earth would be "the ultimate gift to future generations."ĭoing this, of course, will require lots of funding the project needs about $10 million just to scan most of the Amazon within the next three years, Fisher told The Guardian. The Earth Archive's efforts would focus on scanning the planet's entire land area, which encompasses about 29% of the planet's surface, beginning with the most threatened regions, such as the Amazon rainforest and coastal regions at risk of being washed away by rising sea levels. The experience convinced Fisher that scientists need to "scan, scan, scan" to capture the world's most vulnerable places before they disappear. These scans, Fisher said in his TEDx talk, revealed more details about the city's ruins in 10 minutes than he and his colleagues could have found in 10 years of research on the ground. ![]() In 2007, Fisher was part of a team that used lidar to uncover traces of a lost metropolis in the Honduran rainforest. The technique has become more prominent in archaeological surveys in the past decade, helping researchers uncover lost cities in heavily forested parts of Africa and South America, buried roads in ancient Rome and previously undiscovered cityscapes in Cambodia. ![]()
