Visualizing data #11

Open JiveyGuy opened 1 year ago

JiveyGuy commented 1 year ago

currently working on a visualization using 3d geovista, any proposed alternatives or thoughts from contributors?

@RustyRaptor I just now saw your messages on groupme, I realize now that https://github.com/JiveyGuy/Meteorite_Data_Mine/tree/20230918/feature/visualization_alternatives might be a duplicate considering you have a local one with the cool visualizations you made.

Removed alternatives waiting on the method you demonstrated on the groupme. image

I will still publish a branch with the approach I took for that one, however I'd like to open a discussion about alternative approaches.

Since we don't really care much for having the visualization embedded in a jupyter notebook I feel like there might be better solutions out there such as geovista. There's a couple problems with the approach I am taking with pyvista.

  1. It's likely that the method of projecting the 2D map texture onto a 3D sphere is not good.
  2. The method you see in the image is when I actually generated a plot on a regular map and then overlayed it in GIMP.
    1. The other method where I actually tried to plot them as 3D points on the globe had issues because the map texture was not aligned so when I transform the Lat/Lon coordinates they are offset badly.

Just wanna make sure that these things are communicated. Maybe we should open an issue for these things separately.

Also this might take a bit as I messed up with the branches while developing that one.

No worries, I think we should look at experimenting with other visualization techniques too. Maybe one exists external to python as well where we can input the data with queues to unity or some other render engine.
