This paper describes the development and main operational capabilities of a PC-based, geospatially enabled software that can fuse and visualize large, multi-variable data sets that change in space (x, y, z) and time (t). The new software has the ability to simultaneously visualize imagery, bathymetry/terrain, and true volumetric (voxel) data in a fully interactive geo-referenced mode. In addition to providing global coverage, a key feature of this software is the capability to interactively visualize large data sets while operating on a desktop PC. This is achieved by using tiling and Level Of Detail (LOD) technology for terrain, imagery, and volumetric data as well as compression techniques and the multithreading capabilities of modern PCs.
A new collaboration between visualization experts, engineers, and marine biologists has changed. For the first time, we can see and study the foraging behavior of humpback whales. Our study's primary objective was furthering the science of marine mammal ethology. We also had a second objective: field testing GeoZui4D, an innovative test-bench for investigate effective ways of navigating through time-varying geospatial data
