A Study on Grid-Based Geography Visualization Environment

Abstract

Visualization is an efficient technology to display the information and the inherent properties of geographic data, mine the regularity and development trends between the data and give researchers the unexpected insight. As the using and distribution of visualization resources exists imbalance, in order to meet the need of Geography Science, this paper presented a Grid Computing-based High-performance Visualization Environment. This environment is based on the mature grid middleware, CGSP to achieve the Grid integration and sharing of the geo science visualization software. A demonstration application was discussed to verify the visualization environment. The environment would achieve the visualization of the massive geo-spatial data efficiently and expediently, enhance the collaborative research to solve problems and improve their research environment.
