Bluewater Business Solutions Ltd.

Bluewater has a 3D spatial display that uses mapping information to support project management.   The spatial mapping display can incorporate any type of spatial data including standard raster or vector GIS data layers, as well as aerial imaging technologies such as LiDAR.

Using the built-in high performance 3D visualization engine, analyzing your data has never been faster or easier.  The spatial system is built to be user friendly and powerful enough to handle massive GIS \ LiDAR datasets.

The Spatial View Module

At the top right of the spatial display is the area selection window, which allows users to manage multiple operating areas.  Selecting any area in this window zooms to that area and brings up that area's information into the task pane below.

Below the area selection window is the spatial layout selector.  In the above image it is set to Overview, to show the terrain, treatment units and power lines (if any).

This image shows the canopy overview of a portion of a large operating area (20km²) described with a LiDAR survey

This image of a cable harvesting block shows the decking site allocations for a harvest area as well as the cable yarding setups required

Below the area selection window is the user interface for controlling the view in the spatial module. This interface is designed to be as simple to use as Google Earth's interface.

At the bottom of the spatial display is the task pane, which allows users to view and manage project particulars.  For example, the spatial attributes for an area can be displayed.

The spatial inventory for a cutblock.  The spatial attributes are industry specific where the log harvest industry would include particulars about merchantability, cull, etc., whereas the vegetation management industry would include information on the proximity of vegetation to power lines, stem density etc.
