Architecture & Integration
PrithviGIS
A modular, high-performance architecture built on industry-proven technologies like QGIS, Qt, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and CesiumJS — with seamless integration into your existing workflows.
Technology Stack Overview
Built on Proven Technologies

Qt C++ Framework
Cross-platform native GUI development

QGIS API
Full access to QGIS rendering, styling, and plugins

CesiumJS
High-performance 3D visualization

PostgreSQL/PostGIS
Spatial database for real-time sync and scalability
PostgreSQL/PostGIS Integration
🔄 Data-Driven Architecture
- All vector/raster layers tightly coupled with PostGIS tables
- Geometry and attributes reflect live in the viewer — no polling
- Database triggers or external tools can update data in real-time
- Symbology rules are linked to database values (e.g., status, type, speed)
Modular System Architecture
Plugin-Ready, Scalable Design
- Component-based structure: easy to enable/disable modules
- Custom tool integration using Qt/QGIS plugin architecture
- Efficient memory usage and load handling for large data sets
- Update/refresh engine decoupled from UI for smoother experience
Integration Capabilities
🔗 Seamless Ecosystem Connectivity
- TCP/UDP Input Support – Accepts live data from sensors, simulations, external systems
- WebSocket Support – Real-time feed from cloud or simulation engines
- Layer Import Support – Supports OGC standards: WMS, WFS, XYZ Tiles, OSM
- Custom Plugins – Develop new tools and workflows using the QGIS plugin interface
Platform Compatibility
🖥️ Cross-Platform Ready
- Desktop Support – Windows & Ubuntu Linux (tested in real deployments)
- Web Integration – Cesium frontend for browser-based 3D display
- Legacy System Bridge – Connect with older systems via file/database interfaces
- Android Version (Planned) – Using Qt/QGIS for embedded systems
Extensibility & Customization
🔧 Built for Custom Workflows
- Customize GIS tools as per the requirements
- Add new data sources (file, DB, network) with minimal config
- Customize mission planning, annotation, and layer behavior
- Preload environment with specific data/models based on domain (e.g., defense, civil)
