Web-Based Smart Farm Visualization GIS Tool
Abstract
Visualization of data is much more vibrant and informative than a written description could ever be. Continued research on information visualization has resulted in discovery of a number of designs and variety of techniques. Number of people who are engaged in the research of natural products who often either conduct field collections themselves or collaborate with partners. The information gleaned from such collecting trips (e.g. longitude/latitude coordinates, geography, elevation and other field observations) has provided valuable data to the scientific community. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been used to display, and analyze geographic data. The aim of the project is to provide a web interface to visualize data with geographic coordinates giving the ability to the users to select an area on the map, which will serve as an input for generating meaningful chart representation. Tools used in this project are JQuery, Google Maps/Charts, Spring MVC and MySQL database.
