1. Getting Started
Welcome to VizLab This user manual will guide you through the features and functionalities of the application. Here you can find all the main operations you can do with Vizlab at a glance.
Fig. 1.1 General Destination Earth Overview
The current application can manage scenes, where a user can add layers, change their visualization and, if registered, save them for future. Data to visualize can be retrieved from other services such as EDEN and Cache-B. EDEN data are provided in a “ready for visualisation” format so they can be added immediately to a scene while Cache-B data are too large to be viewed immediately, so “data cubes” (spatial portions and time intervals) must be extracted and saved on Vizlab back-end, before they can be added to a scene.
Registered and unregistered users can view published scenes, EDEN data and already existing data cubes. Only registered users can create, save and publish (share) scenes, extract and save data cubes.
Limitations apply for the amount of data that can be processed and stored by VizLab back-end, which are listed in the following table.
