Huawei HMS Core joins hands with SuperMap to inject new momentum into 3D GIS

On June 30, at the 2022 (Fifth) GIS Software Technology Conference GIS Basic Software New Technology Forum, Huawei and HyperMap launched a high-fidelity 3D GIS plug-in based on HMS Core 3D Engine , which helps 3D through 3D rendering technology . GIS enables higher-definition, more realistic digital world scenes.

The theme of this conference is "Geographical Wisdom Multi-dimensional Foundation", which aims to share the latest progress of GIS software and exchange the best practice of GIS application. In response to the new generation of 3D GIS technology, Vice President Feng Zhenhua of SuperMap Research Institute shared a special topic at the meeting, focusing on 3D data model system, cross-border integration of GIS and 3D engine, 3D special effects and simulation. .

The key application of 3D engine in 3D GIS

As one of the symbolic contents of GIS technology, 3D GIS realizes the leap of GIS technology from the plane world to the three-dimensional world, and is widely used in many fields such as land and space planning, smart cities, and smart parks. However, in practical applications, there are still many obstacles to be overcome in 3D GIS. For example, there is still a lot of room for optimization in scene rendering. Visualization is the core function of GIS that is different from general information systems, and rendering capability plays an important role in the realization of visualization effects.

At the forum on new technologies of GIS basic software at the conference, Vice President Feng Zhenhua of SuperMap Research Institute introduced the technological evolution of the new generation of 3D GIS and the high-fidelity rendering solution for large-scale geographic scenes developed based on the capabilities of HMS Core 3D Engine—— Hypermap high-fidelity 3D GIS plugin. This plug-in can transform ordinary GIS data into richer three-dimensional vision, presenting higher-definition, more realistic scenes and effects.

The senior product manager from Huawei HMS Core further demonstrated the technical capabilities and application effects of 3D Engine in the field of GIS based on the introduction by Vice President Feng Zhenhua. The GIS platform integrated with 3D Engine, based on the rich and reliable capabilities of 3D Engine, can realize more 3D rendering special effects on 3D GIS, and realize high-definition and realistic 3D digital world scenes. 3D Engine also has the ability to load data images at the global level, which can dynamically load and present urban buildings and street view data, presenting realistic effects and experiences.

In addition to rendering, as one of the important capabilities in the current 3D engine field, 3D Engine's Large World Partition provides support for native double precision, which can provide a larger coordinate range and higher precision, and It also supports features such as world origin change, rendering coordinate offset, and ReversedZ, providing sufficient technical support for high-precision applications like GIS.

HMS Core builds a 3D digital world base

3D Engine is the latest important graphics capability of HMS Core for industry partners. It not only provides a real-time 3D engine with high performance, high image quality and high scalability, but also provides visual development tools, which can help developers to produce high-quality products more easily and conveniently. 3D applications.

HMS Core 3D Engine can be widely used in digital twins and virtual digital humans, such as:

1. Electric power industry: 3D scene rendering in power plants, substations and other places, supports three-dimensional display of equipment, and facilitates alarm display and fault location

2. Transportation industry: 3D scene rendering of bus stations, high-speed railway stations and other places, with the management of traffic flow and people flow, to support the digital transformation of public transportation systems

3. Social industry: 3D display of social avatars, supporting interesting content such as face twisting, dressing up, interaction, etc., to help social applications enter the metaverse

4. Education industry: virtual teachers interact online, without the need for real people to appear, reduce the cost of course production, face children's education, and increase the interest of the course

5. Public welfare undertakings: sign language digital human, refined sign language movements, and the expressions of the characters to help the hearing-impaired people better integrate into their daily life

The 3D Engine and HyperMap high-fidelity 3D GIS plug-in are currently open to industry partners for a preview experience, and you can apply for a trial through the HMS Core official website. HMS Core will continue to optimize and polish product functions and experience.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to 3D Engine, HMS Core also provides 3D modeling services , AR Engine and other capabilities in the graphics field, and fully opens graphics rendering-related technologies to developers.

HMS Core provides end-to-end and cloud openness capabilities. It has created services in seven major fields. It opens up Huawei's core advantages and capabilities and services accumulated for many years to developers, helping developers achieve efficient application development, rapid growth, and business success. , enabling developers to innovate and provide high-quality content, services and experiences for global users.
