Avalanche risk assessment based on meteorogical and LIDAR data.

Avalanche Risk Forecasting

avalanche's Issues

Advanced weather interpolation

Interpolation of weather conditions can take into account things such as elevation, hill aspect, exposure to sun, wind etc. Create a model taking this factors into consideration when interpolating weather data.

Basic weather interpolation

Using data from Location service (#18) and weather data (#19, #20 and/or #21) interpolate weather conditions in any given geographical location between measurement sites.

Utility application for serialization of .las files converted into surface representation

Application should read .las files contents, perform the triangularization of the points stored in that file resulting in obtained surface model of a given terrain. Such model should be serialized into file enabling further processing by the main application

Detect large scale structures in terrain

It would be desirable to be able to detect e.g. couloirs or other morphological structures that might foster the creation of avalanches.

Localization service

1. Create data for storing geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude, elevation)
2. Create the service that based on localization will return the list of (configurable #17) number of measurement stations closest to that point with straight line distances to these stations.

Parse weather data from Mountain Forecast

Mountain Forecast provides some data about precipitation (snow/rain) and other temperature measurements. The data (for all available elevations) would need to be parsed and provided to the application.

Obtaining geographical coordinates from PL-2000 map notation

Given the PL-2000 map code for a particular terrain (which is included in .las file names if you skip the last digit) and using links corresponding to that code here: https://pzgik.geoportal.gov.pl/semantic-metadata/index.html parse geographical coordinates from resulting websites.

Configuration component setup

Create the minimal version of the component handling the configuration options editable by user. It should use Spring (:question:) to handle the read/write operations. Minimal configuration should contain the names, necessary ids for using the API and localizations (geographical coordinates) of weather measurement stations that can be modified by the user.

Parse snow cover data from Pogodynka

Pogodynka provides some data on snow cover in Tatra Mountains. This page would need to be parsed from page content and provided to the weather data handled by the application.

Reading serialized files in the main module

Main module will now ask upon opening for the serialized file representing specific terrain that should be used for simulation.

Improve LAS conversion and serialization

Serialized terrain should:

• contain information about geographical coordinates and distances
• enable reading with different levels of resolution

Highlight areas of focus on displayed terrain

Structures like those in #26 should be possible to display and highlight on maps. The interface for this feature should be generic allowing to highlight any terrain specified by a given set of parameters.

Launch snowpack modelling application alongside the main application

Alongside the main app the snowpack modelling module should be launched (in a separate thread).

ℹ️ Possible snowpack modelling tools:
SNOWPACK
Alpine3D (contains SNOWPACK)

Provide communication channel between snowpack modelling module and the main application

Provide some IPC channel that will be used to transfer data:

• from the main application to the snowpack modelling module (its input parameters)
• snowpack modelling results to the main application (module's output)

❓ Use message queue, data persistence (file database)

Code refactoring

Refactoring ambiguous and chaotic parts of the current code.

Detect specific objects in terrain

Create filters that will be able to detect e.g. forests, rocky parts etc.

Allow navigation over continuous terrain

In the application it should be possible to navigate over terrain dragging over it. The not seen parts should be loaded from disk from appropriate serialized files (#24) with relevant resolution.

Standalone SpringBoot application using JavaFX

Refactor current code to make a standalone application running on SpringBoot and using JavaFX for the GUI.

ℹ️ See:
JavaFx + SpringBoot + Gradle
SpringBoot with JavaFX
SpringBoot non-web application

Weather module fetching data based on geographical location

Weather module (server) should be able to fetch detailed data about the weather conditions (forecasted and historical) and provide convenient access to obtained data for the main module.

Fetch weather data from IMGW

Using API provided by IMGW create the service that will fetch the weather data for given measurement station (should be already configured as of #17).
