Integrating Mobile Geo Sensors into Collaborative Virtual Globes - Design and Implementation Issues

Abstract

This paper describes the large potential offered by integrating mobile geo sensor data, for example georeferenced video imagery acquired from micro UAVs, into collaborative 3D geoinformation technologies. It identifies some of the key issues to be addressed in the design and implementation of such geospatial collaboration frameworks and describes the main features of a prototype system which is currently being implemented as part of the ViMo (Virtual Monitoring) research project.
