It's Sanji, I think a lot of people of you may remember him. He chaired the Phospho-GE-215 in Seoul and yeah, he wrote in his normal life.
00:28
He's CEO and president of Gaia 3D and a really cool guy, which I really can confirm. It's really a pity that he can't join, but in Korea it's 4.30 in the morning. And I said, it's okay.
00:41
I'm going to present your video and that makes me a little bit sad after we had so many questions in the talk before. So we won't be able to answer any questions. Maybe he wakes up and comes in, but I just start the video and enjoy the talk from
01:00
Sanji. Good morning and good afternoon everyone. My name is Sanji Shin and I'm from South Korea. First, I would like to ask you understanding for my recorded presentations. Here in Korea is now 4.30 a.m. early in the morning. So I have to record this presentation earlier for this talk.
01:21
Today I'll be talking about the EIA, Environmental Impact Assessment Data Visualization Technology using Phospho-GE. Okay, let's get started. However, before start my presentation, I would like to turn off this video. I'm not sure how many of you are already familiar with EIA, Environmental Impact Assessment
01:45
process. There are several EIA definitions. Here I got two definitions from Korea and the United Kingdom. According to Korea Environment Cooperation, that is state owned public company in Korea.
02:00
According to them, EIA is designed to review, predict, and assess the potential environmental impact of a project before each plan is finalized in order to come up with measures to prevent or minimize any possible adverse impact that the project could have on the
02:21
environment. Also, digital EIA project partners from UK gave similar definitions like below. The main core concept is that we need to examine the adverse impact to the environmental people development project, that is EIA. EIA is adopted in many countries all around the world and regulated by each country's
02:46
regulations. Usually, EIA has several key stages like blood screening, scoping and baselining, assessment and predictions, submissions and consultations, and finally, decision and monitoring.
03:03
Actually, each stage has many steps to be done, there are a lot of things to be done. Also, if you have much interest in EIA key stages, you can see my slide later. This talk is about research project that how to innovate EIA process with cutting edge
03:22
digital technology. I'm going to talk a little bit about the problem of current EIA process. One of the main problems that current EIA statements are quite huge in terms of pages and contents with many unnecessary data and information. At the left side, you can see the real case of EIA statements from Korea.
03:44
It has more than 1,800 pages, excluding appendixes. Right side, you can see the UK cases that they usually produces more than 4,000 pages long statements. It's ridiculous. Producing this kind of huge statement is quite a buzzword.
04:05
And current EIA statements are quite paid for document oriented. So it's quite static without any interactivity. It means all the assessments and prediction data are stopped and embedded only in documents.
04:20
At the left side of this slide, you can see the noise predictions map with 2D and vertical profiles. However, it doesn't give much information to the people who live in high buildings because 2D map shows the noise predictions on the ground level and the vertical profile shows the noise propagations at a certain point.
04:41
If your house does not fall into that point, you can't realize how noisy your house may be. Right side, PN10 distribution map also shows the predicted data on the ground level as well. You know, air mass is three dimensional.
05:01
So with this kind of current EIA problems, we may ask these kinds of questions to ourselves. What if we can see the assessment and predictions in an interactive way? What if we can change the development plan and want to see the results in real time? What if we can interact with other stakeholders through one single EIA platform?
05:26
What if we can visualize BIM and CDGIS data on a web browser? These days, building information modeling is getting popular and popular. So if we can integrate those BIM data in the EIA process, they might be cruel.
05:42
So these are the motivations of this research. We needed to change the document-oriented EIS statement into dynamic and multimedia-based EIS statements. We needed to make the EIS statements more accessible, readable, understandable to non-experts.
06:02
Current EIS statements are so full of jargon, technical terms, scientific numbers, so you can be suffocated. And if we can increase citizen participation throughout the full EIA process, that will increase transparency around the EIA. Also, if we adapt cutting edge digital technology to the EIA, we may enjoy many
06:25
benefits like real-time modeling, real-time simulation, and easy communication. This research project is a national R&D project funded by the Ministry of Environment, South Korea. It is a five-year-long project, and many organizations are involved in this R&D
06:43
project, including national research institutes, universities, and companies like my company, Gaya CBD. And on the parallel R&D project called Decision Support System Development Project for EIA, my company is cutting out mainly visualization part.
07:01
Our research structure is like this, and my company, together with the other company, we are in charge of laser sight development, opposite. And as I already mentioned earlier, my company will be responsible for the visualization platform mainly. We are currently working on Binge-Eyes visualization and EIA data
07:23
visualization. This talk is part of this research outcome over the last 16 months. Actually, this research project started last June, last year, and then over the last 16 months, we've carried out several researches.
07:42
This is a conceptual system design for the EIA data visualization system, designed by microwave. This will be a multi-layer-based system, including data layer, processing and business layer, application layer, and service layer. We hope by mixing up and combining components in each layer,
08:05
this system could easily create another service. This is also a conceptual component breakdown, how to implement some of analytical functions for the EIA by combining and chaining atomic process using WPS, OGC standard, web processing.
08:23
We may reduce the development time and cost, and we expect increased flexibility. This is a proposed system architecture for our research project. We have a plan to make use of many numerous open-source projects, like
08:40
PostGIS, GeoServer, GeoAircache, and Mongo3D. And we hope we could release all the outcomes as an open-source project later. Actually, when we submitted our application to Ministry of Environment, Korea, for this research project, we already proposed that we will use
09:00
open source and will share all the outcomes as open source. We are still waiting for Ministry of Environment's final decision. So, why visualization matters? This famous picture shows the importance of visualization of data. Certain data sets in this picture have the same X-mean value,
09:25
Y-mean value, same standard deviation, and correlation. But with total different spatial patterns, sometimes descriptive statistics lose the trends and patterns of data, like this. And EIAs take much full of data.
09:44
However, those data don't say many things to ordinary people with just numbers. Usually, they are analyzed data only. Effective data understanding includes not only data analytics, but also visual storytelling, data visualization, and real-time interactions.
10:02
So, importance of visualization can be summarized like this. First, we can instantly know what big data sets. Second, no expert can understand the meaning of data more easily. Third, we can catch the trends and patterns of the data.
10:22
Fourth, we can easily share the meaning of data with other people. Fifth, we can increase the data usage. Here is a simple case that interactive noise visualization helps understand noise propagation of moving trains.
10:46
This research tries to implement this kind of visualization and simulation for the stakeholders to increase the understanding around EIA.
11:06
From now on, I would like to share some of our research outcomes. More and more developers are trying to use BIM over their development phases. And if we can integrate those BIM data with the EIA process,
11:21
that will help us understand the big picture of the project in more real-time way. Now, you can see the detailed BIM data of the power plant. Although we can see the phases of the constructions like this,
11:41
we also can visualize the wind and compare the before and after constructions like this.
12:01
Now, you are seeing the wind data. Left side is the before construction wind data, and right side, you can see the after construction wind data. This shows how a developed plant can change the wind flows and directions. Actually, you know, current EIA statements show this kind of wind changes
12:24
as just wind loads or wind speeds only. That does not give real implication of wind change to non-expert.
13:31
We also tested the air pollution visualization as a heat map with ISOLION. Let's take a look at this. You can see the air polluted point,
13:42
and then you can read the value of the air polluted marks, PM2.5 or PM10, and then how their distribution is over the surface.
14:00
Also, using our sensor things API, we can read the time series value and we can display that as a graph. This is the data collecting point with ISOLINE.
14:22
We use the GDAL for interpolation and to create this kind of ISOLINE.
15:22
This is the hydrology visualization case, and you can see very interesting our test. Let's imagine that what if non-expert can participate in this kind of simulation and can give a feedback to developers and the government.
15:42
This is the kind of trial to implement real-time simulation EIA process. Users can see how the water flows and then the users can move the locations of the bank and see what will happen in real time and now you can see the buildings
16:02
and then the users can move their buildings around the stream and how that kind of development plan affects the water flow. It's a very interesting case.
16:20
This is another interesting visualization case with oil spill or water pollutant flows. Okay, let's take a look at it. And then also we can move the bank like this and then now you can see the red stream. That is the oil spill.
16:41
Let's imagine that that is oil spill where water pollutant flows and then by moving the object or some object of the source of the oil or water pollutant you can see how the water pollutant flows
17:01
and how they affect the water quality and other things. By collecting the moving data locations we can put that kind of coordinate to that object and then we can simulate how oil spills flow
17:20
and how water pollutant flows and other things. Okay, let's wrap up now. As you know, current EIA statements are quite paper document oriented. So, simply to say, very old fashioned. And current EIA statements are hard to navigate,
17:42
hard to read and hard to understand with full of jargons, with full of technical terms and with full of scientific numbers which make public inaccessible to the real meaning of statements. And current EIA is falling behind other industries
18:02
harnessing digital technology to drive productivity. So, we needed to innovate in terms of EIA process. So, this research project is an attempt to increase transparency, accessibility, trust, interactions among stakeholders around the EIA processes.
18:24
Also, it is expected to give a new tool to stakeholders for understanding EIA process by developing new ways of EIA data visualizations. So, actually as you saw my presentation
18:42
we've tested many things and we tried many things and we got several outcomes but still a long way to go. And this is just the initial stage of this research.
19:02
Okay, thank you very much for your attention. And I would like to also thanks to the Ministry of Environment Korea for funding this wonderful research project. And if you have any questions or inquiries feel free to mail me. My email address is below, shshin.com.
19:26
So, if you have any questions or inquiries just mail me. Thank you so much and have a nice first 40. Thank you so much. Thank you, Sanji.
19:41
This was really an impressing talk and very cool examples. And I'm quite sure we had a big flood in Germany. I was really surprised what you already did in that case. It really could be interesting for them because the flood came to places where it never been before
20:00
and nobody thought about that.
