Visualisation on the Google Cloud

📄 Project Abstract

Cloud computing is a new paradigm in the field which involves using a service provider's infrastructure to run an application or store data, rather than doing the same on your local PC. It is a new form of distributed computing which provides 'software as a service' as well as offering computational resources in a oblique way to a user. The location of your data or the location of the computer running your application is hidden from the user. Visualisation of datasets is used to enable easier understanding of large amounts of information. It is used in fields such as the medical industry for purposes such as the visualisation of scans that are performed using Medical Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT). From the datasets produced by these scans material of differing types, such as bone or skin, can be extracted for visualisation. This project looks at combining the two areas to produce a visualisation application that can be run using Googles Application Engine (GAE). T...
