Researchers at the University of Utah are demonstrating a new software tool they call ‘VISUS’ (Visualization Streams for Ultimate Scalability) that allows interactive editing on massive multi-gigapixel images.

In one example, they used the software to perform “seamless cloning,” which means taking one image and merging it with another image. They combined a 3.7-gigapixel image of the entire Earth with a 116-gigapixel satellite photo of the city of Atlanta, zooming in on the Gulf of Mexico and putting Atlanta underwater there.

“An artist can interactively place a copy of Atlanta under shallow water and recreate the lost city of Atlantis,” says the new study, which is titled, “Interactive Editing of Massive Imagery Made Simple: Turning Atlanta into Atlantis.”

The work was funded by the US Department of Energy & the NSF, the researchers are already planning a company to commercialize the work.  The technology shows promise in fields like surveillance and national security, where massive satellite images can be a bit daunting to deal with, especially when an analyst might have to deal with several hundred of them over the period of a few months to monitor equipment movements.

There’s a new programming language for non-programmers on the block called ‘Impure”, developed the spanish start-up Bestiario.  Most impressively, it even comes with it’s own data-import methods, traditionally one of the most annoying parts of data visualization.

Impure allows the acquisition of information from different sources, ranging from user-specific data to online feeds, such as from social media, real-time financial information, images, news or search queries. This data can then be combined in meaningful ways using built-in interactive visualizations for exploration and understanding.

It’s still in early alpha, so account creation is throttled.
