A real-time visualization tool for forest ecosystem management decision support

摘要: Forest resources management planning must address ecological, economic and social sustainability concerns. Integrating temporal spatial interactions of options at the landscape level is thus a key process. Yet impacts plan on characteristics are often hard to anticipate. Combining decision support tools with recent computer visualization techniques may be workable option. This paper presents tool produce dynamic simulations prospective forested landscapes. Its architecture as well its connection forest system described. Emphasis strategies geometrical complexity large areas. Specifically, geographic data pre-processors were developed convert biometric format used input by tool. The latter addresses construct virtual landscapes it enables real-time navigation over in each period horizon. Results discussed for application problem. show that provides effective capabilities assess level.
