Voxelnet An Agent Based System for Spatial Data Analytics
Voxelnet is a proposed voxel based spatialised framework built upon internet communication and associated geospatial data standards. Each Voxelnet block has an individual IP address and functions as a computational agent. The internet of things (IoT) is also based upon objects having individual IP addresses on the internet so they can communicate using an individual unique identifier. IP addresses can roughly reveal where things are via geo locations. The internet, though, is a document based repository with 3D plug ins that is not effective for sharing a unified world of interconnections from a volumetric point of view. The Voxelnet provides volumetric semantics on top of the current internet, within which measurements can be located, shared, interrelated and spatially analysed, supporting smart informed decisions in real and virtual worlds that account for spatial structure. It can also be used to interact with IoT systems using an integrated spatial representation. Keywords; Geospatial Data Systems; Block Models; Internet of Things; Data Sharing; Multi Agent Systems.
