SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE MAPPING AND VISUALIZATION IN THREE DIMENSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046565 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE MAPPING AND VISUALIZATION IN THREE DIMENSIONS
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to systems and techniques for providing immersive and interactive 3D mapping data and visualizations for emergency response incidents.
- The systems and techniques can obtain location information associated with an incident and retrieve 3D mapping data based on the location information.
- A 3D scene is generated based on the retrieved 3D mapping data, representing the incident.
- A first 3D view of the scene is generated, including incident location indicators to show the location of the incident relative to the 3D scene.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Emergency response management: The immersive and interactive 3D mapping data can assist emergency responders in visualizing and understanding the incident location, enabling more effective decision-making and resource allocation.
- Training and simulation: The 3D visualizations can be used for training emergency response personnel in realistic scenarios, allowing them to practice and improve their skills in a virtual environment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of situational awareness: The 3D mapping data and visualizations provide a comprehensive view of the incident location, helping emergency responders to better understand the terrain, obstacles, and potential hazards.
- Communication and coordination: The interactive nature of the 3D visualizations allows for real-time collaboration and information sharing among emergency response teams, enhancing coordination and response efficiency.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced decision-making: The immersive and interactive nature of the 3D visualizations enables emergency responders to make more informed decisions based on a better understanding of the incident location.
- Improved response efficiency: The use of 3D mapping data and visualizations can streamline emergency response operations, leading to faster and more effective response efforts.
- Enhanced training effectiveness: The realistic 3D scenarios provide a valuable training tool for emergency response personnel, allowing them to gain experience and improve their skills in a safe and controlled environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for providing immersive and interactive three-dimensional (3d) mapping data and visualizations thereof for emergency response incidents. in one example, the systems and techniques can obtain location information associated with an incident and obtain one or more portions of three-dimensional (3d) mapping data based on the location information associated with the incident. a 3d scene associated with the incident can be generated, wherein the 3d scene is generated based on the one or more portions of 3d mapping data. a first 3d view of the 3d scene can be generated, wherein the first 3d view includes one or more incident location indicators representing the location information of the incident relative to the 3d scene.
