Servir Viz is helping people to explore their place
In Spanish, the meaning of Servir is to serve. Servir intensively makes use of satellite imagery and some other types of data resources for various kinds of purposes, like for the management of the environment, or to help meteorological depart of region in various kinds of natural calamities. Servir got support from many sources such as the University of Alabama at Huntsville, the united state agency for international development and the World Bank.
The contribution of IAGT towards Servir Viz is to offer developed mapping and it also offers 3D visualization potential. This developed capacity helps decision makers to have good understanding and it also helps in dealing with active environmental and ecological matters in Mesoamerica.
IAGT has taken many efforts to create 3D visualization applications and 3D visualization tools neither give results to the various kinds of purposes nor just only to fulfill the purpose of end users. With the help of the tools and applications, IAGT can do development for the Servir Viz in very fast way. This development in Servir Viz can be great support for the Servir project.
Servir Viz has the power to give support to the Servir project infrastructure by offering access to GEOSS data products. And there is facility of making GEOSS data becomes transparent in Servir Viz. Data products are used together to examine difficult interactions by overlaying several datasets and by changing layer transparency.
If we observe most of the internet, based information in Servir Viz contains data offered by Servir partner countries. The partner countries have provided data for the public by making use of map services that help to publish GIS datasets. Moreover, the work of Servir Viz is to connect and show this data on global satellite. In addition to this, Servir Viz can also be toggled between Spanish and English to give support for a wide range of users.
The worth of Servir Viz was revealed in November 2006. Servir Viz was considered as an important tool to predict and evaluate possible flooding in region. There was terrible rainfall in panama in which from observation, we come to know that in a very small period of time 40 inches rain fell. So landslides were noticed in the panama with the help of disaster mitigation use of Servir Viz.
Servir Viz was chosen as winner of the contest called 5th international digital earth grand challenge 3D visualization contest. Servir Viz gives various kinds of advantages therefore near about 55 countries are making use of Servir Viz. Now if we observe Servir Viz is continuously growing and enlarging beyond latest geographies region therefore IAGT decided to make further development in Servir Viz. So it may be deployed for Dominican state and African continent if there is continuous growth in users of Servir Viz.
Therefore, IAGT is making plan to introduce more tools, information, and images through Servir Viz, which are introduced in the GEO. In GEO, there is partnership between international organizations and governments, which identify the significance of collaborative earth explanations to offer support in the environmental based decision, making issues.
