Luciad focuses on the domains with the most advanced situational awareness requirements:

AVIATION Air traffic control (ATC), air traffic management (ATM),

aeronautical information services (AIS) and management (AIM)

DEFENSE C4ISR applications, mission planning systems, common

operational picture (COP), tactical to strategic level

MARITIME Vessel tracking, traffic management, harbor operations,

anti-smuggling and piracy operations, on-board systems

PUBLIC SAFETY &

HOMELAND SECURITY Dispatch centers, unit tracking, coordination

UTILITIES & LOGISTICS Vehicle traffic control, urban planning, infrastructure asset

FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION

Below is a high-level, non-exhaustive overview of the components available in LuciadLightspeed. You can use the functionality they offer out-of-the-box or extend them to meet user specific requirements.

MODEL Model any data format, represent all object geometries and their

metadata, and filter data.

VIEW Visualize data in an accelerated 2-D/3-D view or non-accelerated 2-D view. Advanced, fully interactive graphical processing and visualization of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and multi-spectral imagery. If elevation data is present, all data can be draped automatically over the terrain. Apply flexible styling (icons, line styles, fill styles, transparency...), advanced labelling and decluttering to vector data. High-performance terrain rendering is integrated in the view.

CONTROLLER Many controllers for map interaction are ready to use: standard map

controls (zoom, pan, select), editing/creating geometries, rotating, distance measurements, multi-touch, detecting change by swiping and flickering images and more. You can easily create other controllers for custom interaction.

GEODESY Access and represent data in any coordinate reference system (geodetic,

geocentric, topocentric, grid) and in any projection. Perform advanced geodetic calculations and transformations.

DATA

CONNECTORS Access data in many vector and raster formats (see below in ‘Formats and standards’). Apply multi-leveling and tiling.

INTEGRATION Easy integration into C, C#, and C++ applications maintaining the

performance of the GPU

OTHERS Print view snapshots in high quality. Visualize data in a vertical/altitude

view or a comparison view. Perform density calculations, orthorectification and other operations. Slice and filter data dimensions for analysis. Boost performance with the support for concurrent data access and asynchronous painting.

OPTIONAL COMPONENTS AERONAUTICAL

INFORMATION SYSTEM (AIS)

Adds support for modeling and visualizing aeronautical data such as airspaces, navaids, procedures, and grid MORAs (minimum off route altitude) in accelerated 2-D and 3-D views. The visualization support includes options for custom styling.

DATA FORMAT

COMPONENTS These are multiple components that add support for reading data in a specific data format, and writing data to common open standard formats. See below in ‘Formats and standards’ for a list of supported data formats.

GEOMETRY Enables you to calculate binary topological relations (e.g. overlaps,

contains) and perform constructive geometry on shapes (e.g. union, intersection).

LUCIADFUSION DATA

CONNECTOR Enables you to connect to a LuciadFusion data server using the Luciad tile streaming protocol specific protocol to retrieve data.

MILITARY SYMBOLOGY & NATO VECTOR GRAPHICS (NVG)

Full support for symbols and tactical graphics of the latest military symbology standards, in 2-D and 3-D. NATO Vector Graphics support increases interoperability. This support encompasses the lookup, creation, visualization, and editing of military symbols and tactical graphics. See below in ‘Formats and standards’ for a list of supported standards.

NETWORKING &

ROUTE PLANNING Offers support for all kinds of network-related processing, such as shortest path or cross country movement calculation. Also enables the creation of flexible cost functions.

OGC WEB SERVICES There is a web client and a web server suite. Use the web client

suite to connect to an OGC web service and retrieve data. Use the web server suite and leverage LuciadLightspeed to create OGC web services that re-project & serve data in any georeference. See below in ‘Formats and standards’ for a list of supported standards.

REAL-TIME Offers optimizations for handling and visualizing dynamic data.

Enables you to play back simulations in fast or real time. Also includes playback controls and continuous label decluttering. Fast and flexible visualization of Asterix data, including radar video (Asterix Cat 240).

TERRAIN ELEVATION

ANALYSIS (TEA) This component adds the ability to perform calculations, such as line-of-sight (LOS) or hypsometric calculations, on terrain data, and provides alternative views on the terrain data. It can use hardware acceleration (OpenGL and OpenCL) to reach unparalleled performance for both calculations and visualization.

MARITIME ELECTRONIC CHART DISPLAY AND INFORMATION SYSTEM (ECDIS)

Allows for the rapid visualization of electronic navigational charts in 2-D and 3-D. Complies with standards defined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Decodes data in the IHO S-57 and encrypted S-63 formats, and visualizes the charts in compliance with the IHO S-52 visualization standard.

FORMATS & STANDARDS*

LuciadLightspeed’s visualization and analysis capabilities are data-agnostic, so it is complementary with any data format. Adding support for new, custom formats is a straightforward, well-documented process, but of course most common data formats are already supported. Native support for specialized formats is optionally available per format, as listed below in ‘Available Options.’ For the following common data formats out-of-the-box native support is included:

RASTER DATA BIL, BMP, CADRG, CIB, DTED, ESRI TFW and JGW,
