๐๏ธ Overview
The gIQ Exploration View feature is an integral component of the gIQ GIS product, designed to provide users with a comprehensive platform for visualizing diverse datasets. Its primary purpose is to offer users the capability to explore and examine different layers within the gIQ system. By design, this feature ensures that only complete datasets are accessible, fostering effective data management practices by allowing users to categorize and select specific datasets for further analysis. The scope of this feature is strictly limited to facilitating the visualization of datasets within the system, thereby enhancing the overall user experience and decision-making process.
๐๏ธ The basic visualization options
This guide will demonstrate some of the basic options available to a user for the visualization on the globe map
๐๏ธ Changing the layers and base map
gIQ currently offers different layers and base maps. They consists of raster base map, vector base maps and the none (also known as the black base map). This guide will show you how to cycle through the different options.
๐๏ธ Band rendering
The imagery data that can be ingested in gIQ, referring to panchromatic, multispectral, hyperspectral and SAR imagery can have a single band, or layer (a measure of a single characteristic) while others can have multiple bands. A band is represented by a single matrix of pixel values, and a raster with multiple bands contains multiple spatially coincident matrices of pixel values representing the same spatial area. Majority of satellite and airborne imagery have multiple bands, typically containing values within a range or band of the electromagnetic spectrum.
๐๏ธ Raster Adjustment
With this tool you can enhance the settings of your image in your browser.
๐๏ธ Using Filters in Exploration
This workflow will explain the different filters which exist. These filters also apply on the workspace and the exploration view.
๐๏ธ Rename a file
Some file names can be very difficult to work with. gIQ allows a user to change the name of a file while maintaining the original name. This will help a user identify the correct file
๐๏ธ Temporal Control and Time Series
This feature can be used for time-lapse of selected tracks (for example aircraft tracks).
๐๏ธ Model object detections
This feature can be used to detect objects from a created annotation layer. In this example we will use an annotation layer with oil storage tanks derived from SAR imagery.
