Re: [udig-devel] Using udig to visualize a wireless sensor net
|
Hi Erdal,
I don't have experience with wireless sensor nets, so hopefully someone else might give a better answer, but I thought I could comment anyway, since I'm working with wireless data of another type, mobile/cellular networks. In our case we wanted very customized visualization of the wireless network and mobile data, as well as very specific analyses of the data. What we did was:
- Write our own renderer so that our data looked like the expected symbols for mobile network data
- Use a graph database, neo4j, for flexible storage of the wide range of parameters we get for this type of data
- Write our own catalog to publish this data into the map
Obviously this means that for our usage, uDIG was not an exact match and required some customization. I think that is a common scenario when comparing any specific domain to a generic tool like uDIG. There is usually some level of customization to get things just the way you want. I think for your case this can range from simply importing your data into a supported format for uDIG (eg. postgis), and controlling the symbols with SLD's. Writing as much code as we did is probably not necessary.
On the other hand, perhaps you'd like to take a look at our code, in case you think our use of a graph database suites your needs. We have some videos at
