[OSGeo-Discuss] open source alternative to tracking analyst

2010-04-14 Thread David March Morlà

Dear list,

I'm a newby in this list. I have been working with R language to produce a set 
of different analysis of animal movement. Now, I'm more interested in 
visualization issues of this king of data. I have wrote some scripts to export 
animal tracks to Google Earth and take advantatge of its timeline application 
to display spatiotemporal data. However, the possibilities that allow the 
Tracking Analyst extension of ArcGIS are better for the enduser (i.e. 
symbology, configuration of actions). In addition, coupling Tracking Analyst 
with 3D analyst it would be possible to display animated track within a 3D 
model. As now I'm interested to work with fish tracks inside a lake I cannot 
use Google Earth to display 3D data.
So, I'm wondering if you could suggest me any alternative to my needs using any 
open source software or a combination of them.

Best regards,

Try Geozui 4d, written by Dr. Colin Ware, University of New  
Hampshire.  He tracks whale movements in 4d as retrieved from acoustic  
transponder tags placed on the whale's back. the link is below.

Hi David, welcome!

You can use the GRASS GIS[1] for your studies. It's a software robust, and
enables you perform several actions. Together with QGIS[2], you can use with
more facility in visualize your data, and manage them.

Sorry for my small inglish.

Good Job.

It does not seem open source and free software, though.
All the best.
