2. RasterWare Appliances 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. RasterWare Appliances 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” Geospatial Product Generation

4. RasterWare Appliances 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
