Project Name: 3D Geographical Modeling

By: Erik Laberge & Qasim Asad

Description:

This is a 3D Geographical Modeling program that allows a user to take geographical data from a text file and display the information contained within in a 3 Dimensional Visual format.

At the start of the program, the user is presented with a blank mesh containing now visual data. The user must select a data file that has been properly formatted in a specific way so that the program will be able to read and interpret the data. We have included a data file that contains geographical data as an example called “Prediction.txt” that will work with the program.

After selecting the prediction file, the program will begin to read the data within the text file. It will take about 10-20 seconds depending on the speed of your machine to read and interpret the data. Once the process has finished, the program will convert the data into a 3 dimensional mesh that represents a terrain and the temperature of the terrain determined by the color (Blue are cooler areas, and red are hotter areas). The view on the left provides an overview of the entire geographical area within the text file, while the view on the right contains a more detailed look at a specific point on the map being displayed on the left, which you can scroll through with the Latitude and Longitude scroll bars. The user can zoom in and out of the left and right map, by clicking on one view first, and then using the mouse scroll.
