IQmulus FP7 project Details
IQmulus is a 4-year Integrating Project (IP) partially funded by the European Commission under the Grant Agreement FP7-ICT-2011-318787. It is positioned in the area of Intelligent Information Management within the ICT 2011.4.4 Challenge 4: Technologies for Digital Content and Languages. IQmulus started on November 1, 2012, and will finish on October 31, 2016.The goal of IQmulus, which stands for A High-volume Fusion and Analysis Platform for Geospatial Point Clouds, Coverages and Volumetric Data Sets, is to develop a platform that provides the needed functionalities to integrate latest research results in data processing and visualization to tackle important real-life challenges in geospatial applications. Given the wide choice of different available sensors and the massive amounts of data thus obtained, combined with the intent to provide useful knowledge in an appropriate period of time, the platform thus has to be scalable in processing and storage, and capable of handling the four aspects of variety, volume, velocity and analytics that are commonly associated with the term Big Data.
