Bhuvan 2.0 India's Own Google Earth

Bhuvan 2.0 | 11.2mb


The much anticipated satellite-based 3D mapping application Bhuvan was launched by Indian Space Research Organization last week. Many have compared it to Google Earth and held it as the ‘Google Earth killer’. The site is still in its beta version and as of now, it can be very safely said that it is not going to pose any threat to Google Earth very soon. Bhuvan functions within the browser whereas the Google Earth works on downloadable basis. Another limitation of Bhuvan is that it only supoorts Internet Explore 6 or above and Windows. India's own geographic information system (GIS) dubbed 'Bhuvan' is now available for download, currently under BETA release country's indigenous Google Earth is capable of Indian specific features not available in any other competing product, Bhuvan features multiple layers of information showing topography, altitude, depth weather and other features helpful in managing public services, internal security, town planning, and infrastructure development activities. The web-based portal requires an initial plugin download in order to provide promising high-resolution 3-D satellite imagery with smooth video acceleration, Bhuvan offers images of the globe similar to Google Earth but provides best resolutions over the Indian sub-continent with ISRO having plans to expand high-resolution images globally. * Access, explore and visualise 2D and 3D image data along with rich thematic information on Soil, wasteland, water resources etc. * Visualise multi-resolution, multi-sensor, multi-temporal image data * Superpose administrative boundaries of choice on images as required * Visualisation of AWS ( Automatic Weather Stations) data/information in a graphic view and use tabular weather data of user choice * Fly to locations ( Flies from the current location directly to the selected location) * Heads-Up Display ( HUD) naviation controls ( Tilt slider, north indicator, opacity, compass ring, zoom slider) * Navigation using the 3D view Pop-up menu (Fly-in, Fly out, jump in, jump around, view point) * 3D Fly through (3D view to fly to locations, objects in the terrain, and navigate freely using the mouse or keyboard) * Drawing 2D objects (Text labels, polylines, polygons, rectangles, 2D arrows, circles, ellipse) * Drawing 3D Objects (placing of expressive 3D models, 3D polygons, boxes) * Snapshot creation (copies the 3D view to a floating window and allows to save to a external file) * Measurement tools (Horizontal distance, aerial distance, vertical distance, measure area) * Shadow Analysis (it sets the sun position based on the given time creating shadows and effects the lighting on the terrain) * There would be many more value added functions and facilities which will be added into the package from time to time. * Particular interest of ISRO/DOS would be to provide such functionalities to common man so that he/she adopts participatory approach with scientists to solve simple problems easily and interactively.
