DataX Cloud Platform
Leveraging DDS Real-Time Data Exchange and NVIDIA Omniverse Digital Twin Technologies to Build an Intelligent Environment for Physical–Virtual Integration
The DataX Cloud Platform is built on two core technologies: Data Distribution Service (DDS) for distributed real-time data exchange and NVIDIA Omniverse for digital twin applications. It integrates IoT devices, unmanned vehicles, geospatial data, and 3D models, enabling data exchange and application integration across devices and systems.
Through DDS, the platform connects physical devices and applications to enable real-time exchange of vehicle status, sensor data, and mission information. By leveraging NVIDIA Omniverse, it creates 3D digital twin environments integrating terrain, buildings, and unmanned vehicles. The platform supports physical–virtual synchronization, mission management, real-time monitoring, and simulation-based validation, providing an integrated environment that connects 3D modeling, digital twin applications, and intelligent drone management.
01 3D Modeling Platform
Creating 3D Models and Scenes for Digital Twin Applications
The 3D Modeling Platform supports the processing and integration of aerial imagery, geospatial data, and existing models. It provides capabilities for reality-based 3D modeling, model conversion, model refinement, and scene configuration.
The resulting models can be imported into the Digital Twin Model Application Platform to create terrain, building models, and 3D scenes tailored to specific site requirements. These models provide the foundation for drone mission simulation, 3D visualization, and application validation.
02 Digital Twin Model Application Platform
Integrating Terrain, Buildings, and Real-Time Data to Create 3D Digital Twin Environments
The Digital Twin Model Application Platform integrates terrain data covering Taiwan, aerial imagery, and existing building models. Using NVIDIA Omniverse, it creates georeferenced 3D environments that support scene visualization, model management, and integration of data from multiple sources.
The platform can integrate drone and sensor data to visualize vehicle positions, flight trajectories, and mission status in 3D environments. It can also incorporate weather information to illustrate changing environmental conditions. These capabilities support drone mission simulation, site visualization, and physical–virtual integration testing, providing a 3D foundation for intelligent application development and validation.
03 Cloud-Based Intelligent Drone Management Platform
Integrating Multi-Drone Management, Mission Planning, and Real-Time Flight Monitoring
The Cloud-Based Intelligent Drone Management Platform provides drone management, mission creation, route planning, real-time flight monitoring, and mission record management. Through DDS, it receives real-time information on drone positions, speeds, headings, battery levels, and mission status.
The platform synchronizes flight trajectories and mission progress across 2D maps and 3D digital twin environments, enabling users to centrally monitor multiple drones and their mission execution status. It also supports multi-drone management, route review, and access to historical mission records.
