Here are some of the features of Bhuvan, the Satellite Mapping Tool launched by ISRO on August 12th, 2009
- Access, explore and visualise 2D and 3D image data along with rich thematic information on Soil, wasteland, water resources etc.
- Visualise multi-resolution, multi-sensor, multi-temporal image data
- Superpose administrative boundaries of choice on images as required
- Visualisation of AWS ( Automatic Weather Stations) data/information in a graphic view and use tabular weather data of user choice
- Fly to locations ( Flies from the current location directly to the selected location)
- Heads-Up Display ( HUD) naviation controls ( Tilt slider, north indicator, opacity, compass ring, zoom slider)
- Navigation using the 3D view Pop-up menu (Fly-in, Fly out, jump in, jump around, view point)
- 3D Fly through (3D view to fly to locations, objects in the terrain, and navigate freely using the mouse or keyboard)
- Drawing 2D objects (Text labels, polylines, polygons, rectangles, 2D arrows, circles, ellipse)
- Drawing 3D Objects (placing of expressive 3D models, 3D polygons, boxes)
- Snapshot creation (copies the 3D view to a floating window and allows to save to a external file)
- Measurement tools (Horizontal distance, aerial distance, vertical distance, measure area)
- Shadow Analysis (it sets the sun position based on the given time creating shadows and effects the lighting on the terrain)
- There would be many more value added functions and facilities which will be added into the package from time to time.
- Particular interest of ISRO/DOS would be to provide such functionalities to common man so that he/she adopts participatory approach with scientists to solve simple problems easily and interactively.
a gud effort at replicating google earth. but in my opinion, it is foolish to replicate something that is already there. what is the innovation in this? even if ISRO wants it will not be able to match google, so why not create a differential thing. where is the indian innovativeness. this is pure USA(Ullhasnagar Sindhi Assn). what about interposing our best strength that is the Remote sensing data?
start thinking beyond what others have done, don’t try to do what they have done. we will always remain followers. let’s show some leadership.
i installed plugin and direct x , and loged in, its great..
but help me when i say search mumbai…it does not work..and if some how i got mumbai using picture tab..but then can’t make out what is where ..so pl guide..and explain about layer use too
