Development of Real-Time Location-Based Multimedia Style Slop Information Retrieval System

Abstract

This paper describes a development of system that enables the user to retrieve slope information in the field in real-time. The system is a next-generation location-based multimedia slope information retrieval system that can be viewed directly in-depth information about the slopes in the field. To view slopes easily and realistically in the field, the latest electronic map was used. The user’s location on the map is shown in real-time by the GPS receiver. In order to retrieval slope information in real-time in the wired and wireless internet environment, the ultra-portable mini PC (UMPC) was used. The slope information around the field has been comprised of a variety of multimedia style information associated with slope, so that the service was very advanced. The multimedia style slope information data has been constructed as an image, video, animation and 3D graphics. In particular, the system can display reliability of slopes around the field in real-time on electronic map. The stability of slopes has been divided by the risk level. Therefore, this system can be used for the purpose to reduce economic and life damage caused by natural disasters. Then, the effect will be very large.
