Development ofanIntegrated GUIFramework for Post-Disaster DataFusion Visualization

Dealing with fused dataisacomplicated task andits visualization isevenmoredifficult toachieve with theparadigm of commongeoreferencing systems. This isespecially trueinhigh level fusion visualization forsituation awareness. We have developed adisaster monitoring interface that runsinaHLA/RTI network foranearthquake simulation. Damageandrecovering activities, suchascasualties andambulance routings, are presented inaGISvector mapwith fast datamanipulation and display control. Inaddition, incoming dataisaccumulated over timefordynamic visualization, whichincludes themorphing of casualty clusters. This feature iseffective inkeeping track of clusters sothat a usercaneasily comprehend thetrend ofa situation. This paperalso addresses ourunique approach tothe full capabilities ofmultiple views bytheintegration ofa2Dand 3Ddisplay.
