Abstract

This paper describes the modeling of a near real time geophysical motion analysis system for the Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station (APLIS '07) that was held as part of the International Polar Year (IPY 2007-2009). One of the important aspects of the motion analysis system was to help field scientists to plan instrumentation based on the large scale dynamics taking place in the scene. This required that the data flow architecture be simultaneously efficient and accurate. Therefore, in order to provide for an efficient and robust method of analysis, the system was designed within the Unified Modeling Language framework and developed as modules that could be easily scaled to subsequent stages of research. This design-development framework helped in the successful use of the product for ground instrumentation deployment.
