Global 3D Marine Navigation System
GIS Development
Project Lead
Project Overview
Developed tools to generate 3D cartographic datasets and ActiveX map controls, enabling digital marine navigation and device integration.
Detailed Description
Led a project to create a global 3D marine navigation system. This involved developing custom C++ tools to process 2D topographical maps into 3D cartographic datasets.
Also engineered an ActiveX map control to render the data, enabling digital marine navigation on various plotter devices.
This project required significant work in data optimization and low-level graphics programming.
