Dual-end positioning
| Dimension | Desktop Client | Web |
|---|---|---|
| Core positioning | Heavy-duty Processing & Analysis Workbench | Management, Delivery & Collaboration Platform |
| Usage method | Locally installed desktop software | Browser access, no installation needed |
| Computing power | Local computing for big-data processing | Cloud management, lightweight operations |
| Suitable scenarios | Data processing / 3D visualization / deep interpretation | Project management / permission control / deliverables / collaboration |
| Data Storage | Local cache + cloud sync | Cloud Primary Storage |
Simple understanding: the client is the 'lab' for doing work and analysis; the Web end is the 'office' for management, reports, and collaboration.
Data sync mechanism
DIGspace uses a cloud-edge collaborative architecture, with bidirectional data sync between the client and the web:
- Desktop client upload:Data processed on the desktop client can be synced to the cloud manually or automatically.
- Pushed from the web:Projects, configurations, and user permissions created on the Web end are automatically synced after logging in on the desktop client.
- Incremental sync:Only sync the changed parts to reduce transmission volume.
- Offline available:The desktop client supports offline work and auto-syncs when connected.
What to do on the desktop client
- Data processing:Computation-intensive professional tasks such as radar denoising and ERT inversion.
- 3D visualization:VTK 3D rendering, volume rendering, slice observation.
- Anomaly interpretation:Manually mark anomalies, adjust attributes, and verify analysis results.
- Batch export:Batch-package and export data and reports.
- Deep analysis:All deep processing and analysis operations within the detail page.
What to do on the Web end
- Account permissions:User management, role assignment, permission control.
- Project management:Create projects, manage project members, transfer projects.
- Deliverables:Generate reports, share links, external viewing.
- Collaboration sharing:Multi-member collaboration, data sharing, comments, and feedback.
- Data dashboard:Project progress overview, data statistics, visualization dashboard.
TipBoth ends use the same account system; register once and use on both ends.
