PANOPTIC VISUALIZATION OF ELEMENTS OF COMPLEX SYSTEM USING MODEL VIEWER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a search engine configured to identify a document component of a panoptic visualization document collection.SOLUTION: A search engine 402 is configured to identify a document component that depicts an element of a complex system. The document component is from a collection for which at least some components depict elements of the complex system and have associated metadata that includes information reflecting the 3D geometry of at least some depicted elements. A layout engine 408 is configured to generate a layout of panoptically arranged document components including the identified document component and other document components identified according to the associated metadata for the identified document component, which further includes information identifying a link between the document components.
