1. MOBILE AND DISCONNECTED FIELD DATA COLLECTION

2. SCENARIO Situation Objectives Constraints
Enterprise level or central system where data is stored
Maps and imagery are maintained at the enterprise
Enterprise does not extend to the field where data is collected
Objectives
Transform map and image data to take out into the field
Design applications to capture field data
Collect field data
Transfer data from mobile devices back to the enterprise
Constraints
Limited or no internet connectivity in the field

3. Technology Enterprise Server Mobile Tile Creation App Design
Connect to HiPER LOOK Server with MD Exporter to transform data for mobile devices
Powerful map and image server
OGC service enabled
App Design
Data Collection
Collect data with mobile devices in the field
Update the enterprise
Generate custom forms to capture data

4. Open Geospatial Consortium & OGC Services
What is the Open Geospatial Consortium?
“The OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) is an international not for profit organization committed to making quality open standards for the global geospatial community. These standards are made through a consensus process and are freely available for anyone to use to improve sharing of the world's geospatial data.”
Why are standards important?
Common guidelines for software developers to work independently but make tools that work together
Documented framework for machines and software to talk to each other

5. Overview Of HiPER LOOK Enterprise

6. Ingest Engine Organize Data for Rapid Retrieval Start
Petabytes of data stored in millions of individual files
Result
Wide-area mosaics of spatially-referenced data layers
Incredibly fast pixels
Easy to manage and update
Efficient workflows…no “file-open”

7. HiPER LOOK And OGC Standards
HiPER LOOK servers leverage OGC standards to publish map and image data
WMS: 8-bit image, server only transmits the pixels in your viewpot at any given time
WCS: Access to 32-bit data; ideal for analyzing elevation data sets
KML: Send map layers to clients like Google Earth
No need to download files
Reproject, transform, and process on the fly
Send information to tools that can create mobile tiles

8. + + + 1TB Of Source Data 1TB Of Tiles 2TB Of Tiles In New Projections
9TB Of Tiles For Derivative Products
Data grows to 13TB to deliver standard visualizations of fixed tiles that cannot be geospatially analyzed.

9. + OR 1TB Of Source Data 1.4TB Of NUI .14 TB Of Compressed NUI
Less storage and processing required to deliver dynamic, responsive imagery and maps that can be reprojected, analyzed, and updated without service interruptions.

10. Web Services Enable The Enterprise
Allows existing GIS applications such as QGIS, ESRI® ArcMap™ and Gaia access to imagery holdings
And because it’s OGC we can use any interoperable viewer like ESRI ArcMap, QGIS, Gaia

11. Generate Tiles For Mobile Devices
PIXIA’s Mobile Data Exporter generates tiles for mobile devices running ATAK, APAS, KILLSWITCH, and other applications like Fulcrum

12. Upload Layers Online In Fulcrum
In the “Setup” dropdown menu on the main dashboard, select ”Layers”

13. Browse For Tiles Created And Add Layers
Select your tiles created with Mobile Data Exporter
Upload tiles
Add tiles as part of a new map layer in the Map View

14. Design Custom Applications Specific To Your Project
Fulcrum delivers simple tools to build forms that are tailored to a specific project or objective
Collect custom text, categorical data, photos, videos, etc
Each data point is georeferenced on the map

15. Collect Data Offline Via Mobile Devices And Sync To The Enterprise
In the Fulcrum mobile app, synching sends data collected in the field to the enterprise when data collectors have internet access

16. Fulcrum Community
Fulcrum Community  enables rapid mobilization of crowdsourced field data collection volunteers in response to local, national, regional or global events.
Designed for short projects (1 year or less) to provide assistance to Humanitarian agencies, non-profits, NGOs, or even Government entities that respond to local, state, national, regional and global events. Some example, qualified events that we think of include hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, pandemics, drought, famine, refugees, floods, wildfires, and others.
All data is anonymized, free, and publicly available.
