Abstract
This article describes the software (SW) implementation work to generate and visualize 3D surface models over the Earth, Moon and Mars using high-resolution satellite datasets from Indian remote sensing satellites over a specialized multiprojector system. Varied resolution datasets from Indian satellites like Cartosat series, ResourceSat, Mars Orbiter Mission and Chandrayaan-1, and digital elevation model (DEM) from CartoDEM were used for surface modelling and visualization. The generated high-resolution 3D surface model over the Earth is useful for strategy, urban planning, infrastructural planning, disaster management and educational purposes. It is also important to visualize the 3D surface of planets other than the Earth to visualize potential rover landing sites navigating to prominent features of the planet and validating future imaging sites. An indigenous SW package has been developed to model and visualize the 3D surface over multiprojector system, utilizing image processing techniques of data interpolation
期刊介绍:
Current Science, published every fortnight by the Association, in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences, is the leading interdisciplinary science journal from India. It was started in 1932 by the then stalwarts of Indian science such as CV Raman, Birbal Sahni, Meghnad Saha, Martin Foster and S.S. Bhatnagar. In 2011, the journal completed one hundred volumes. The journal is intended as a medium for communication and discussion of important issues that concern science and scientific activities. Besides full length research articles and shorter research communications, the journal publishes review articles, scientific correspondence and commentaries, news and views, comments on recently published research papers, opinions on scientific activity, articles on universities, Indian laboratories and institutions, interviews with scientists, personal information, book reviews, etc. It is also a forum to discuss issues and problems faced by science and scientists and an effective medium of interaction among scientists in the country and abroad. Current Science is read by a large community of scientists and the circulation has been continuously going up.
Current Science publishes special sections on diverse and topical themes of interest and this has served as a platform for the scientific fraternity to get their work acknowledged and highlighted. Some of the special sections that have been well received in the recent past include remote sensing, waves and symmetry, seismology in India, nanomaterials, AIDS, Alzheimer''s disease, molecular biology of ageing, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Indian monsoon, water, transport, and mountain weather forecasting in India, to name a few. Contributions to these special issues ‘which receive widespread attention’ are from leading scientists in India and abroad.
