Fledermaus Standard is a powerful interactive 3D data visualization system that
is used for a variety of applications including environmental impact assessment,
mining, geology, and research.
Innovative data exploration features including the ShiftScapeTM
rendering engine and the Bat (3D input device), allow for intuitive 3D
exploration of geo-spatial data.
A wide variety of industry standard formats are supported for direct
import of data to the 3D scene. Object types such as digital terrain maps,
point clouds, lines, polygons, satellite imagery, etc. can all be loaded
and analyzed in a single scene. Due to its flexible object oriented software design,
Fledermaus can be easily tailored to support many additional
visualization modules.
If you would like more information on Fledermaus, the full
documentation is available online.
A free viewer for Fledermaus files named iView3D
is also available.
Features
- Display scales automatically from high-end to low-end systems
using the powerful ShiftScapeTM rendering engine.
- Multiple data sets and types of different resolution can be
visualized and interactively explored at the same time.
- Integrated support for very large data sets.
- All data sets can be geo-referenced in the 3D scene.
- Users can interactively query data sets to select coordinates
for profiles and measurements.
- Advanced object oriented architecture allows easy integration
of new data types into the system.
- Explorations can be recorded and used to create movies of
data exploration sessions.
- Visualizations can be displayed in 3D stereo with suitable
graphics hardware.
- Software and data files can be used across wide variety of
computer platforms from laptops to large immersive visualization systems.

Data Types
- Digital elevation models.
- Gridded and un-gridded geo-spatial data.
- Seismic sub-surface data.
- Imagery such as maps, charts, aerial photos, still or
mosaic video imagery, and satellite imagery.
- Images as flat geo-referenced 2D plane, draped on
surface or vertical images.
- Measurement planes and grids.
- DXF CAD format.
- Solid model 3DS or OBJ files.
- Animated surfaces.
- ArcView data (shape files, grids, and imagery).
- Various multibeam sonar data and processing formats
- GSF, CARIS HDCS, SHOALS, HTF, and ASCII.
Data Capacity
- Integrated support for very large data sets.
- Data set size not limited by software.
Data Processing
- Software allows for the importing of numerous surface data formats
including ASCII xyz and gridded data, GMT GRD/NetCDF, Etopo2 and 5, USGS
DEM, NOAA Gravity database, Grass, binary raster data, DTED, Arcview,
ERMapper, and many others.
- Gridding application for random point XYZ and attribute data.
- New data formats are easily added.
- Surfaces are colour coded by height, depth or any other attribute
(such as imagery) that can be draped over a DTM.
- Contour generation and output including labels.
- Gradient tools.
- Surface difference and volume computation tool.
- Histogram tools.
- Output of ASCII XYZ files of gridded surface and line objects
- Output of images, map sheets and movies.
- Manipulate georeferenced imagery including cropping, resizing, etc.

3D Visualization
- Multiple data sets of differing types and resolution can be
visualized and explored at the same time.
- No need to resample to a single resolution, data loaded at
native resolution.
- All data sets can be geo-referenced.
- Drape 2D point, line and polygon objects to the 3D surface.
- Users can interactively select data points to get
geo-referenced 3D co-ordinates and perform profiling.
- Advanced object oriented architecture allows easy
integration of new data types into the software.
2D Visualization
- Color-coding can be interactively designed or
modified by the user.
- Surfaces are illuminated with an artificial lighting and
have cast shadows.
- Allows exploration of the data with continuous zoom
and translation abilities.
- Provides profiling, histogram and other tools to analyze the
surface data.
- Users can interactively select data points to get
geo-referenced 3D co-ordinates and perform profiling.
Movie Making Tools
- Exploration flights path recorded in Fledermaus and
associated package of tools to produce digital movies.
- Output movies in MPEG1 or MPEG2 format, or as raw frames.
Computer Platforms
- Linux and Windows NT/2000/XP PCs with suitable
graphics support for OpenGL.
- Macintosh computers running OS X.
