  2. Why Internet GIServices? Flexible Information Access / Exchange (End-Users only need a Web browser) Information Sharing and Integration (Access multiple Internet Map Servers at the same time– Local governments, USGS, EPA, Census, etc.) Real-time Information Update and Distribution Gather data from client sides (polices, firefighters), Distribute updated data from server sides (control centers)

  3. Internet Map Server • Three-Tie Architecture • http://map.sdsu.edu Client (Web browser) + Java applets Internet Map Server ArcIMS Web Server map.sdsu.edu Internet Client (Web browser) + IMS Viewer Client (Web browser) Regional Database (GIS)

  4. Three Types of Internet GIServices • Data Warehouse (Catalog & Metadata) • Interactive Internet Mapping Facilities (Internet Map Servers) • Real-time Analytical Tools for GIS modeling and analysis applications. (wide fire spreading model, flooding area prediction,)

  5. Key Technologies • Internet Map Server (ESRI’s ArcIMS, AutoDesk’s MapGuide, INTEGRAPH’s GeoMedia Web Map, SmallWorld’s Internet Application Servers, etc.) • Java Programming (cross-platform: Java applets and Java Servlets) • XML (Extensible Markup Language) for metadata and communication with Internet Map Servers (ArcIMS – ArcXML).

  6. ESRI ArcIMS: http://maps.esri.com/ AutoDesk MapGuide: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/index/0,,939407-123112,00.html

  7. GeoMedia Web Map http://www.intergraph.com/gis/customers/default.asp Internet Mapping Software Comparisons http://map.sdsu.edu/software-demo.htm

  8. Problems for Internet GIS packages • Heterogeneous Geospatial Data Formats • ArcIMS: Shapefiles and Images • MapGuide: Spatial Data Files (SDFs) • GeoMedia Web Map: ActiveCGM • Security and Upgradeability • Access control, password protection, Intranet solution • Upgrade from 100 clients to 1000 clients. • Customizable Interfaces and functions • require advanced programming efforts. • lack of on-line GIS operations and modeling functions.

  9. NASA ARC project: Web-based GIS and Analytical Tools • Http://map.sdsu.edu/arc • Required Web Browser: Java applets capability (IE 5.0 or Netscape 4.0 later) • Suggested Screen Resolution 1024x768

  10. Project Demonstration: http://map.sdsu.edu/arc

  11. GPS / Remote Sensing Images Data Integration • GPS data collected by MTRP Park Rangers with their Trimble GPS units and Pathfinder Office software. • Research teams converted the GPS data sets to Shapefiles and integrate them with our ArcIMS server.

  12. MTRP BMX (motor-crossing bicycling) GPS Data in ArcIMS

  13. Image Overlay Function(Change Detection)

  14. Image Processing • Image Filtering • Image Viewing

  15. Current Internet GIS Capabilities • What can we do now? • On-line display (spatial features) • On-line query (attributes) • Very limited GIS functions. (Identifying, selections, buffering? ). • On-line editing new graphs/data and send back to servers. • What can we not do now? • Full GIS operations (overlay, network analysis, 3D…) • Upload a GIS Model or procedures to server side. • Integration of different vendors’ packages (ArcIMS, MapGuide, GeoMedia Web Map).

  16. Future Development • Smart Mapping Software • Intelligent Software Agents, • (searching requested GIS data automatically) • Mobile devices • GPS / Cellular Phone/ PDA Integration • Real-time GIS functions and Modeling • Hydrology modeling (flood control: ALERT systems), Wide fire modeling, Earth Quake simulations, etc.

  17. GPS Integration and Mobile GIServices
