BackgroundBackgroundGIS and remote sensing (RS) have been taking a leading role for sustainable development.Many researchers have done numerous developments in utilizing GIS and RS data to various applications The potential of Geoinformatics has not been fully realized in the sense that data accessibility, integrity and their integration with existing GIS databases.

Internet has high potential to give opportunities for people to access data easily.
Establishing a scheme to share and integrate geo-spatial information will contribute for the use of Geoinformatics in the society

•This dataset covers 5.4 million square kilometers. Eight scenes of data were unavailable from this system.
•The original projection data is UTM with datum WGS84.
•The data amount of the mosaic image from 105 Landsat scenes (composed of 4 bands) is around 40 GB.

• When handling very large raster layers, it is convenient and higher performance to split the raster image into a number of smaller images. Each file is tile of the larger raster mosaic available for display.
• The list of files forming a layer can be stored in a shapefile with polygon representing the footprint of each file, and name of the files.(called Tileindex)
• Mapserver will first scan the tile index and ensure that only raster files overlapping the current display request will be opened.

ConclusionsConclusionsBy implementing two algorithms ( tiling and multi-resolution ), the speed of response time was drastically improved. Multi-server system was tested and shown its efficiency to serve images to users as background images.The potential of OpenGIS and WebGIS like this prototype will promoting more linkage and cooperation.The broker to organize a new growing up of WMS server is required.Extend the utilization of RS image
