Cognitics Spatial Repository
Cognitics has developed a geospatial data repository and an associated API to meet the needs of the GIS and simulation industries. This API allows for a common data access model to multiple spatial database formats, and provides a back end SQL based storage repository that allows for lossless worldwide data storage. This technology is currently being used for R&D efforts, and is planned for deployment in large scale data storage systems in the 4th quarter of 2009.
3D Transportation Analyzer

Cognitics is currently developing a software product that will take complex terrain features such as multi-level freeway interchanges, and automatically build a topologically correct three dimensional model of the feature. Using available source data including vector data, Digital Elevation Models (DEM), and LiDAR, the 3D Analyzer can generate accurate models of real-world features. When sufficient data is unavailable, the analyzer falls back to using civil engineering standards to build a realistic model that can be edited manually to reflect the real-world feature more accurately. The output of this product is CityGML as an intermediate format, and fully modeled and textured model files that can be integrated into a simulation system.
Modeling the Real World: A Free Whitepaper by Cognitics
Warfighters operate in the real world.
It has become essential that simulation systems provide these warriors with geospecific environments for both training and mission rehearsal. With the growing availability of geospecific data, the opportunity to provide these environments has become feasible. Partial solutions are currently offered through manual and semi-automatic processes, but these solutions fail to model the more complex features found in the real world.
