Dynamic Three-dimensional Display of U.S. Air Traffic
William F. Eddy and Shingo Oue
Abstract:
We describe methods developed to interpolate and project flight paths
of aircraft in controlled airspace over the continental US from
aperiodic position reports. There are a number of unusual features of
the dynamic displays we have developed. Our visualizations can be
viewed from either a fixed or moving viewpoint. The direction and
distance of the focal point from the viewing point is under program
control (allowing viewing in a direction other than the direction of
motion of the viewpoint). The maximum and minimum depth of field is
under program control (allowing viewing of selected local subsets of
the data).
