The IT history of the Debrecen Military Cemetery and Heroes' Cemetery

The first IT system of the Debrecen Military Cemetery and Heroes' Cemetery was developed by Erda Ltd. in 2012 for the "Quality of Life" Relief, Enlightenment and Prevention Foundation in the framework of the "Resting Heritage of Debrecen" project. During this process, photographs were taken of all the couples. The database of the cemetery was started by Sándor Csákvári with the help of József Papp, a local history researcher, and then the Library of the Bocskai István Rifle Brigade of the Hungarian Defence Forces also joined in the process of systematizing and refining the data with the help of the Internet and other sources that became available. The team was further expanded with the addition of Attila Horváth, a local history researcher, who worked on the data collection of Hungarian and German military graves from World War II. The results of the research Excel spreadsheet and the 10 cm resolution orthophotos of Debrecen in 2009 and 2012 were used to create the cemetery map in a uniform national coordinate system (EOV). cemetery records and records of deceased data from the database. Thus, a number of discrepancies between the database and the placement of the cemetery stones on the map were found, which were clarified in the was clarified in the following years.

The development work continued in 2017 at the Cultural Department of the Mayor's Office of the City of Debrecen. Department of Culture. The first step was to update the previous database with the new research new research results. The above-mentioned web page was also created, and the map search engine for Android was added. version for mobile phones. This can be accessed and loaded from the website. The new website is responsive, i.e. with a resizable DEBRECENI MILITARIUM logo, with content transferred from the previous version, supplemented by the new content, with the professional coordination of the Őrváros Public Foundation.

For the map search, we have loaded the data of the deceased from the two world wars into a single database structure, created digital images of all the re-produced cemetery graves, and assigned to each grave a panoramic image corresponding to the virtual walk, looking at where the grave is located. The result of this work can be viewed in the Map Search menu.

The orthophoto required for the new cemetery map was not taken because the aerial photography was not possible permit expired by the time the cemetery renovation was completed. To replace this, CentralGeo Ltd. used a laser point cloud which was evaluated to produce a digital map of the cemetery with an accuracy of approximately 3-5 cm.

For the virtual walk, we took panoramic photos and uploaded them to Google Maps. The virtual walk was at several points, including entering the gate and you can start the tour right away. Just like clicking on any panorama icon in the map search system.

In the cemetery data researchers, with proper logging of the placement and landscaping plan, to design survey, as well as previous orthophotos, can be called up under the new map. The aerial photographs for the high-resolution orthophoto were obtained the day before the inauguration of the renovated cemetery the day before the cemetery was opened. At the same time, aerial panoramic photos and videos of the cemetery were taken. The orthophoto was then was also completed and uploaded into the system.
