Solidipes curation platform
Armillaria solidipes is the specie of the largest living organism on Earth, a fungus forming an underground network spanning 9.1 km². Solidipes is a Python package designed to support scientists throughout the entire lifecycle of their research data: acquisition, curation, publication, and sharing. Solidipes can be deployed as a web platform, providing an intuitive interface for visualizing (…)
Polar Field Campaigns Map
The Polar Field Campaigns website is an interactive 2D/3D map of the Arctic and Antarctica that highlights locations where field observations were conducted, either at fixed stations or along icebreaker ship routes. It provides details on the types of measurements taken and makes the corresponding campaign data, available in open-access repositories like Zenodo and PANGAEA, (…)
EPFL Water Portal
This website serves as an online visualization platform for water infiltration data measured on EPFL’s campus along the Sorge River. It highlights the initiative within the Urban Twin Project and promotes action to reduce runoff on campus. Sensors placed along the Sorge River collect various measurements, including water temperature, depth, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and (…)
Urban Traffic Data Visualization (w/ Efficient Big Data Processing)
Introduction to pNEUMA The pNEUMA Visualization Project, an initiative from EPFL’s Laboratory of Urban Transport Systems (LUTS), leverages advanced drone technology to capture and analyze urban traffic patterns in Athens. This project stands out for its focus on transforming extensive traffic data into accessible and actionable insights through a refined data processing pipeline. Objective and (…)
Raytraverse: a workflow for architectural spaces climate based daylight simulation
What is the project about? Raytraverse is a python library and command line tool that helps to mitigate the challenges of simulating and evaluating large amounts of rendered lightfield data. To quantify the daylight conditions in a building spans seven dimensions: three dimensional space, two dimensional viewing direction, time, and wavelength so every daylighting simulation (…)
ODyN: a straightforward interface for trajectory estimation
What is the project about? In the fields of robotics and geodesy/mapping, a specific type of factor graph known as Dynamic Networks has emerged over the past decade, designed to estimate the trajectory of an agent (e.g., a robot, drone, airplane) by tightly integrating data from its on-board sensors. This is a crucial task for (…)
Smart Tools for Timber Drilling Assisted with Augmented Reality
New augmented reality platforms using robotic technologies can assist with wood fabrication tasks, which can be made openly accessible using simple sensors or displays with an augmented reality framework developed in Linux and C++.
Precipitation Open Data In The Southern OCEAN For ATLACE
What is the project about? The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) was organised by the Swiss Polar Institute in the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016 and 2017, with 22 different projects on board, ranging from chemistry to physics and biology. This was a special project as normally expeditions go repeatedly to one place (…)
Democratising Views: Open Visual Capital Data
Opening data from digital twins on building views can open the door to other research like urban health, well-being or inequities across regions.
Bringing Open Source to Building Information Modeling (BIM)
BlenderBIM and the open standard IFC.js are revolutionizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) by offering open-source tools and establishing IFC as the native working format for architects and engineers.
