Centralized Geospatial Resource Management with AR Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing resource management systems are segmented and do not provide a comprehensive view of resource landscapes, leading to stakeholder misalignment and inefficient management, as they lack geospatially-anchored content analysis and immersive three-dimensional views, and do not allow for seamless data integration and sharing across stakeholders.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for interactive, centralized resource management that gathers geospatially-referenced data, combines baseline and local datasets to create synthesized datasets, and presents them in various views such as augmented and virtual reality, enabling stakeholders to access and share comprehensive data for site development, maintenance, and management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional segmented resource management systems are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but comprehensive resource landscape representation and stakeholder alignment deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple segmented resource management systems into a single centralized platform that consolidates data from diverse sources (aerial imagery, ground-based sensors, historical records) into a unified geospatial framework, enabling comprehensive resource landscape representation while maintaining manageable system architecture through standardized data integration protocols
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements universal data standards and protocols that enable multiple stakeholders (land managers, researchers, developers) to access and interact with the same resource landscape data through various interfaces and applications, allowing a single system to serve multiple functions and user needs simultaneously
2Ease of operation
If traditional two-dimensional map queries are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but immersive three-dimensional resource landscape understanding deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional map interfaces to immersive three-dimensional virtual and augmented reality environments that allow users to visualize resource landscapes in realistic spatial contexts, enabling comprehensive understanding of terrain features, resource distributions, and spatial relationships while maintaining intuitive interaction through natural gestures and movements
3Reliability
If baseline geospatially-referenced data alone is used, then data management simplicity is maintained, but dynamic resource landscape updates and real-time monitoring deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes baseline geospatially-referenced data structures and integration protocols in advance, preparing the framework for receiving and processing dynamic data from multiple sources (aerial sensors, ground-based instruments, satellite imagery), enabling seamless real-time updates without requiring complex ad-hoc integration procedures
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous feedback loops where data from various sensors and monitoring instruments are systematically collected, validated, and integrated into the centralized system, which then provides real-time updates to stakeholders and enables dynamic adjustment of resource management decisions based on current landscape conditions
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for interactive site resource management are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the system and method collects and accesses local geospatially-referenced landscape and site survey data in the field as facilitated by selectable content views, the gathered landscape and site survey data synthesized with baseline geospatially-referenced landscape and site survey data. In one aspect, the synthesized landscape and site geospatially-referenced survey data may be used by a project lead or authority agent, to create a landscape and/or site report, an authorized development plan, a master landscape and/or site survey, and/or as-built development plans. In certain embodiments, the synthesized landscape site survey data is presented as an augmented reality display.
