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.
