Image Access Solutions IAS

Image Access Solutions (IAS) revolutionizes the access, management and delivery of large geospatial images - so you can get the information you need faster. Using "intelligent streaming technology", IAS delivers image information to remote userd much faster than traditional dissemination methods, even when there are network bandwidth constraints. As a result, the time between collecting an image and delivering it is dramatically reduced, allowing you to make informed, accurate decisions faster.

And, IAS 3.0 - the newest IAS release - features an updated architecture, built to comply with the most recent JPEG 2000 and JPEG 2000 Internet Protocol (JPIP) standards. So you can be confident that when you use IAS to deliver images, you're using the most advanced, compatible, and dependable technology available.

Image Access Solutions Provides

Faster, more efficient dissemination of images
Immediate, assured access and viewing of geospatial imagery
Dramatically improves image storage efficiencies (up to 30% reduction in storage requirements over current JPEG compression)
Enhanced streaming capability significantly reduces pixel-to-eye times. As soon as an image meets your quality and resolution requirements, transmission is terminated
Increased productivity of image analysts
Conversion of legacy imagery to the new JPEG 2000 format
Dissemination of high resolution, large imagery files to bandwidth constrained users
Access only portion of image needed - eliminates the need to “chip and ship” subsets of imagery

Applicability

Department of Defense
Disaster Management
Government Mapping Organizations/Portals
E-Commerce (delivery of commercial imagery)

Image Access Solutions conform to industry and military standards and can be customized to meet your specific requirements.
