A lighting apparatus includes a light-sheet assembly configured to conform to the rooftop. The light-sheet assembly extends at least one-half the length of the rooftop, and further extends at least one-half the width of the rooftop when mounted to the rooftop. The light-sheet assembly further includes a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) lights that are distributed about the rooftop when the light-sheet assembly is mounted to the rooftop. A controller is communicably coupled to the light-sheet assembly and configured to operate the plurality of LED lights. A roof-mount is affixed to the light-sheet assembly and configured to mount the light-sheet assembly to the rooftop of the emergency vehicle. The lighting apparatus is useful for emergency vehicles.

In one aspect, a computerized method to automatically detect buildings includes determining if each point of a set of filtered points is on a line by processing the set of filtered points in one pass including a) locating a first point of the set of filter points nearest to a second point of the set of filtered points, b) determining if the distance between the first point and the second point is greater than a distance threshold; c) determining if the first point and the second point have collinearity greater than a collinearity threshold; and d) designating the first point as an endpoint of a line that includes the second point if the distance between the first point and the second point is greater than the distance threshold and if the first point and the second point have collinearity greater than the collinearity threshold.

A system and method for interactive knowledge visualization are provided. In some embodiments, a method for interactive knowledge visualization includes receiving, at a knowledge visualization server, a request for one or more visualizations; retrieving data associated with the one or more visualizations from one or more databases; converting the data associated with the one or more visualizations into visualization data, the visualization data being operable to be converted by a client into the one or more visualizations; transmitting, to a first client and a second client, the visualization data; receiving, at the knowledge visualization server, a modification request from the first client, the modification request indicating a desired modification to at least one of the one or more visualizations; modifying, in response to the modification request, the visualization data associated with the one or more visualizations; and transmitting, to the first client and second client, the modified visualization data.
