🛠️ Analytical Tools

Welcome to the analytical center of the DalekieWidoki.pl portal. I have created a proprietary ecosystem of applications that supports enthusiasts, photographers, and researchers in planning, analyzing, and admiring long-distance observations. Discover the three main systems:

🔬 Refraction Dashboard (lab.dalekiewidoki.pl)

Your center for atmospheric and light propagation analysis.

The Refraction Dashboard is an advanced tool for those who want to understand the physics behind extreme long-distance observations. It allows for in-depth analysis of meteorological conditions and the calculation of refractive indices.

• Downloading and analyzing aerological soundings: Download data from weather stations (e.g., Legionowo, Wrocław, Poprad) from the archive. Detect strong temperature inversions on interactive charts.

• Terrain Profile PRO: Generate precise Line of Sight (LOS) profiles between two points, using digital elevation models (SRTM, Lidar GUGiK) and accounting for the physics of Earth’s curvature.

• Refraction and visibility calculators: Calculate refraction coefficients (meteorological and geodetic) and check the maximum visibility range based on current pressure and temperature gradient data.

• Archive Explorer: Search historical data for days with the strongest inversions and the highest k coefficient.

🗺️ Map PRO (mapa.dalekiewidoki.pl)

Interactive environment for planning and verifying observations.

An essential for every long-distance view hunter. Map PRO combines massive object databases with geolocation tools, helping you determine exactly what is visible on the horizon.

• Massive object database: Filter and display mountain peaks from multiple countries (PL, CZ, SK, DE, UA, and more), tall buildings (PAŻP obstacles), wind turbines, or BTS masts.

• Azimuth and Distance Calculations: Precisely measure distances and viewing angles from the observer’s point. Verify object visibility taking into account the selected refraction coefficient.

• Innovative Photo Analyzer: Upload your long-distance observation photo! Calibrate it using two known points, and the system will automatically calculate the azimuth and help identify unknown objects visible in your photograph.

• Integration with external systems: Generate views in the U. Deuschle panorama system with a single click, and import/export your points to KML (Google Earth) and JSON files.

📹 Live Camera System (live.dalekiewidoki.pl)

An eye on the farthest horizons in real-time.

An integrated network of cameras automatically recording long-distance observations. It’s the perfect place to hunt for the Tatra Mountains from Silesia, the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, or Warsaw skyscrapers from dozens of kilometers away, live.

• Live preview: Access to selected cameras (e.g., Wyszków, Modlin, Będzin, Krajno, Turbacz) optimized for long distances.

• Smart Archive: Missed great conditions? Search saved camera frames by filtering them by date or even a specific time of day (morning/afternoon).

• Convenient Lightbox gallery: Browse high-resolution photos with precise timestamps to analyze changes in air transparency and optical phenomena hour by hour.
