Eonfusion, Myriax’s Data Fusion Project: Closely coupled
visualization, analysis and data fusion tools for 4D environmental
data.

Abstract
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.

About
The Scripps Technical Forum (STF) is a grassroots effort to make
technical expertise and resources more widely available within the
UCSD/Scripps community; to enhance communications between technical
staff and departments; explore extended opportunities for
interdepartmental collaboration, technology transfer, and industry
interactions; to explore innovative solutions to emerging
challenges; to monitor and disseminate trends and new technologies;
and, aid in personnel retention and enhance job satisfaction,
including continuing education, and opportunities for job growth.
The group is open to anyone within SIO and
UCSD interested in applied technology. We host a monthly midday
meeting with free pizza and an interesting program of presentations
given by members of the community and industry. Our monthly
newsletter highlights events, people, places, and items.

The STF is funded by a grant from the
E.W. Scripps Associates
