KML Placemark Updates in Google Earth

August 3rd, 2009 Comments off

While working on a prototyping project for a customer, I was having problems “updating” existing placemarks in Google Earth that had been created by a simple Network Link file. Granted I was writing a custom web server to server KML data, but it was not immediately clear why my KML data was not being interpreted correctly.  While Google Earth’s KML Documentation is fairly comprehensive, it seems to lack a good deal of simple examples.

Applied Avionics

August 3rd, 2009 Comments off
For this project Silva Tech helped Applied Avionics with several prototyping and software development projects to further enhance their model aircraft based UAV platform. Mr Silva architected and developed and entire service that would accept any type of streaming video feed (MOV/AVI), translate it near real-time and stream it as a flash video. This flash video would then be accessible across a network via a web browser with a flash video client plug-in Mr. Silva also created a prototype system in C# .NET, that would accept live aviation telemetry data from a web-socket connection, translate the data into Google KML entities and automatically display a model aircraft flight in near-real-time. The prototype included a sample driver program that would also replay previously collected telemetry data to review previous aircraft flights exactly as they had occurred on Google Earth. Mr. Silva was also consulted on system architecture changes to the aircraft and its ground-based processing system.
