Tim will present some background and an overview to Myriax’s data fusion project, and demonstrate the emerging 4D visualization and data fusion capabilities of the new Eonfusion application.

We aim to enhance the excitement of discovery that visualization brings to data analysis, to provide a suite of tools that makes the interesting absolutely fascinating and the mundane easy, and ultimately to offer ‘inter-ocular traumatic impact’ - understanding that hits you between the eyes.

Eonfusion is a novel new software tool being built by Myriax (formerly SonarData) that is extending the possibilities of data fusion and visualization. With compelling 4‐dimensional visualization and a ground breaking topology and fusion engine, the system is ideal for dealing with complex modelling and spatial temporal analysis. This demonstration will show some of the applications of the new software to environmental data visualization and modelling.

Tim Pauly – PhD, GradDip(Applied Physics), BSc.  Tim joined CSIRO Department of Horticulture, South Australia in 1982. He developed innovative computer programs for their genetics laboratory to automate a spectrophotometer for data acquisition and recombinant DNA analysis; and to standardize and analyze electrophoresis gels. In 1987 he commenced consulting, lecturing and contract work as a research associate for the Centre for Marine Science and Technology at Curtin University, Western Australia, participating in a wide range of projects.  These included: generated 3-D predictive wave spectra data for the Indian Ocean as input to a novel yacht velocity predication package for the Australian Americas Cup Defense; yacht based deep ocean acoustic bathymetry system used for sea mount detection and satellite ground truthing; and the design and construction of an acoustic data logging and analysis system for the determination of the acoustic target strength of Antarctic krill.  Tim then moved to Hobart to lead the marine acoustics stock assessment program within the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Group for the Australian Antarctic Division; and represented the Australian Government at numerous international meetings such as Working Group meetings for the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) and International Whaling Commission (IWC). In 1995 he co-founded SonarData and in 2001 left the Antarctic Division to work full time at SonarData, (now Myriax Software).  He has set up and led the data fusion project at Myriax Software Pty. Ltd. in Hobart Australia over the last few years which has culminated in the Eonfusion software application.
