Abstract :
The performance of processing and visualising techniques in present satellite receiving systems is not optimally developed for the benefit of end users, especially for critical observation and analysis purpose. Currently, the existing satellite receiving system uses an enclosed method to process the incoming data which requires the whole packet of earth globe data to be fully received before retrieving geographical information and only allows the display of this data as a normal image file which cannot be further processed for better visualising purpose. To overcome this problem, we have devised an integrated software application with a smart visualisation topology algorithm embedded to provide the flexibility on data merging capable of displaying in different overlays. The benefit of this data combination is to allow users to directly evaluate the geographical data in user determined visual mode. It also has the capability to provide information for historical reporting and forecasting purpose in real time scheduled operation. The initial result reported in this paper shows that a better and faster way to visualise data at almost the same time as it is received is possible using the adapted algorithm.
