Ground assist

Data visualisation and enrichment tool

The problem 

Lack of tools to explore and interact with it

Huge Data repositories of Forest data

Data analytics and visualisation engine for forest stakeholders

Enriching the open forest data with crowdsourcing technologies

What we have built

Community platform for stakeholders (eg. owners), governing bodies and general public around using and improving forest data

Methodology

- Parsing and Indexing GeoPackage Datasets 

(Grid Compartments Data)

- Searching through the huge repositories efficiently

- Layering this on open map technologies (Google Maps, Open Street Maps)

- Delivering the data to user in meaningful way 

- Inviting user to contribute to the data

The Proof of Concept
