Study Association Artemis

Coordinating our Dutch Military organization (land, sea and air) we might want to come up with a geospatial common operating picture (or operational picture) to follow what is happening where. This relates to military operations, but also to support efforts (like transportation, food, etc). The product needs to be a visualized dashboard with geospatial components, layers and graphs. CGI will provide all necessary military insights and steering of this project. We are looking for two students who will be designing and building this dashboard. This team of 2 will work together, but both students will get their own assignments, steered by a product owner of CGI.
The result will be for CGI internal use only and might be demonstrated at the end.
The functionality needs to be based on a map of Europe, with clear country boundaries. On it based on webservices or added manually will come military symbols showing troops, movements and large risks or obstacles. It’s updates will be near realtime for the webservices and the manual parts will be changed whenever possible.
The usability needs to be good, display on multiple (split) screens and used by several users at that same time.
In some cases a drill down to more detailed information of a operation somewhere in this area might be needed so will need zooming and aggregating functions.
All in open source, think about OpenLayers, Mapserver, Tile38, QGIS (for preparation purposes).
Data will need to be faked, because real data is classified and screening takes too much time for this internship.

CGI will provide a dynamic environment, a laptop and access to their office.

During our lunch lecture on November 12 we will talk about the work we have done in the last few years on getting a pipeline going to create Digital Surface Models out of Satellite imagery and Space borne LiDAR data. As always we are looking for a continuation of this research. We are developing the DSM for a small part of Egypt (near Luxor) of an archaeological site. 1×1 km approximately. But the next step is to increase this area to about 5 x 5 km. For this we will need to find out how to optimize the pipeline and split it into parts. The result will, again, be presented to real archaeologists in that area.
Rather heavy computing work will be done on a high end laptop and knowledge of computer vision and photogrammetry is needed.
