Empowering Next-Generation Spatial Digital Twins with Linked Spatial Data

该项目旨在设计新的算法来对齐和查询来自异构源的空间数据。由于移动设备的普及和无处不在的连接，空间数据正在以前所未有的速度生成，这使得一种新的应用——空间数字孪生成为可能。然而，由于来自不同来源的数据相互隔离，在空间数字孪生中利用这些数据受到了阻碍。该项目将研究对齐和查询来自异构源的空间数据的算法，以提高可访问性。它将实现具有先进空间分析查询需求的新应用，例如应急规划，使基于位置的服务提供商、城市规划者和应急管理机构受益。

This project aims to design novel algorithms for aligning and querying of spatial data from heterogeneous sources. Spatial data is being generated at an unprecedented rate due to the prevalence of mobile devices and ubiquitous connectivity, which enables a novel application, spatial digital twins. However, harnessing this data in spatial digital twins is hampered by the isolation of data from different sources. The project will investigate algorithms to align and query spatial data from heterogeneous sources for high accessibility. It will enable novel applications with advanced spatial analytical querying needs, such as emergency planning, benefiting location-based service providers, urban planners, and emergency management agencies.
