Participants must develop a Smart Campus GIS Platform, integrating essential campus geographic information into a unified system for management and operations. The platform should provide fundamental GIS query and analysis functionalities for faculty, students, and visitors, allowing users to easily locate key campus buildings and facilities and access relevant information, explore campus-specific geographic, cultural, and historical characteristics through at least one customized feature, and enhance digital and smart campus development, promoting integrated campus management.
Participants must collect basic geographic information of a university campus. Alternatively, they may use the simulated campus dataset provided by the contest committee. The SuperMap GIS platform must be used for data integration, processing, and system development. The platform must support appropriate visualization, querying, and application functionalities for campus data. There is no restriction on spatial data representation (participants may choose:2D GIS, 3D GIS, or integrated 2D/3D GIS system). Detailed requirements are as follows:
1. Participants may choose one of the following architectures for developing the Smart Campus GIS Platform:
Browser/Server (B/S) architecture – A web-based smart campus GIS platform.
Mobile/Server (M/S) architecture – A mobile-based smart campus GIS platform.
Client/Server (C/S) architecture – A desktop-based smart campus GIS platform.
2. Data Collection
Participants may collect campus GIS data using various methods, including but not limited to, vectorization, GPS data collection, oblique photogrammetry modeling, 3D modeling using 3ds Max or BIM software, and internet data sources. Collected data should include comprehensive campus geographic information, covering academic buildings, dormitories, libraries, sports facilities, main campus roads, and other key buildings and public facilities.
If real-world campus data collection is not feasible due to objective constraints, participants may use the simulated campus dataset provided by the contest committee. The spatial locations and attribute information of the features in the simulated dataset do not correspond to real-world data, participants may modify or supplement the dataset as needed.
3. Data Processing Requirements
Participants must use SuperMap iDesktopX or SuperMap iDesktop to integrate campus spatial data and complete basic data processing. The processed data should be presented in aesthetic and detailed 2D maps or 3D campus scenes.
3.1. Create a data source named "Campus.udbx" to store all processed datasets, including 2D/3D vector datasets, 2D/3D network datasets, model datasets, imagery datasets, terrain raster datasets, etc.
3.2. If necessary, create an "Other Data" folder to store additional datasets used in campus scene reconstruction (e.g., tile data that is not stored in the main data source).
3.3. When creating an electronic campus map, save the map as "CampusMap". If multiple maps are created, name them sequentially as "CampusMap_01", "CampusMap_02", etc.
3.4. When creating a 3D campus scene, save the scene as "CampusScene". If multiple scenes are created, name them sequentially as "CampusScene_01", "CampusScene_02", etc.
3.5. Store all electronic maps and 3D scenes within the same workspace, and name the workspace "CampusWorkspace".
3.6. The final submitted data package must include data source file (Campus.udbx), workspace file (CampusWorkspace.smwu), and other data folder (if applicable).
4. GIS Service Requirements
4.1 If developing a B/S (Browser/Server) architecture system, the processed data must be published as GIS services.
4.2 If developing an M/S (Mobile/Server) or C/S (Client/Server) architecture system, publishing GIS services is optional.
5. System Function Requirements
Based on the developed electronic campus map, 3D scenes, and related GIS services/resources, participants must develop a Smart Campus GIS Platform that implements the following core functionalities:
5.1. Campus and surrounding environment map display: integrate campus GIS data with surrounding environment data for a comprehensive geographic representation. Ensure clear, aesthetically pleasing visualization of campus features at various map scales and viewing angles within the GIS platform.
5.2. Interactive campus information query: provide convenient query functionalities for users, such as search by spatial relationships or keywords to locate campus features, click on map features to display attribute information, associated images, or additional details.
5.3. Custom function implementation: in addition to the basic functions, participants must design and implement at least one custom GIS feature based on campus data characteristics and user needs. The custom function should address practical campus life challenges or management difficulties, such as campus tour route planning, campus pedestrian flow heatmap visualization, facility evaluation and feedback system, and user role and access control management(Note: The above are only examples, teams are free to design their own personalized GIS functionalities).
