ImageLinks RasterWare Appliances™ Images Your Way

1. ImageLinks RasterWare Appliances™ Images Your Way

2. What is RasterWare™ Technology? Advanced software providing “on demand” processing and immediate delivery of custom imagery User specifies Area of Interest and final output specifications Non destructive, parameter driven, single resample creation and delivery of custom image products (i.e. orthos, mosaics, fusions, change detection, etc.) from original (raw) raster datasets Data products can be tiled, reprojected, resampled, resized, etc. Automated processing & turn-key solution -- installed as an intra or internet web based appliance Final product immediately delivered directly into the end users application

3. Geospatial Product Generation Traditional Workflow Customer Requirement Collect & Load Content Satellite, Aerial, Radar, DEM, control Error Correction • Registration with ground control Initial Product Generation • Reformat & reproject data • Orthorectify, Tonal Balance • Each step requires resampling Final Processing & Formatting • Fusion, Mosaic, color enhancement, • each step requires resampling Output to Media Customer Loads into their System New Customer Requirement (Restart from the beginning) RasterWare Workflow Collect & Load Content Satellite, Aerial, Radar, DEM, control, vectors, error correction (registration if required) and GeoTIFF’s Stage to RasterWare Appliance • Native format support & projection independence • n-band radiometry support, Total Balancing, Histogram matching • Automated, model based Orthorectification with terrain correction • Reproject, Resample, Resize • Fusion (cross sensor products), Change Detection, Mosaicking • Non-destructive, parameter driven processing (single resampling) from native data to final product • Produces & delivers data bundles (imagery, elevation, vectors, etc) for the user specified AOI • Server based , scaleable, multiprocessor architecture • Web interface & XML API’s • Final product delivered directly into user application Multiple Customer Requirements Satisfied Immediately “on demand”

4. Typical Implementation Environments A network which serves many users with disparate needs with a common set of data. The disparate requirements tend to be (a) projection/datum related or (b) custom product generation (change detection, mosaic, band selection, fusion, etc.) An application where a higher frequency of updated imagery would be beneficial such as agriculture or environmental monitoring - eliminates pre-generating products and enables more change detection options Workstation based analysis where users require “data bundles” (imagery, elevation, tin, vectors, etc.) and not just a picture  A production system to more efficiently generate products
