Software Design and Implementation of 3D Multi-GNSS Visualization System

Abstract:

In order to provide technical supports and visualization tools to the multi-GNSS related researches, 3D multi-GNSS visualization system (3DMVS) is designed and implemented. In this paper, the system requirements are analyzed at first and four modules (user interface module; display module; date calculating module; 3D models library module) are designed to realize the 3D visualization of the earth, satellites and orbits in different navigation system. Then the system general architecture is presented. Next, the system main process, data generation process and data visualization process is introduced. Dataflow between modules are illustrated in details by four steps. The visual C# programming tools and the 3D modeling software ZAM3D are used in the course of system implementation. The system has successfully applied in the related researches of multi-GNSS.
