Enterprise Services for Image Processing & Image Management

Visual Information Solutions


Agenda

•Introducing ITT VIS

•Image Streaming

•Enterprise IAS

•Image Processing in the Enterprise

•Demonstration


Introducing ITT VIS

• Formerly Research Systems Inc (RSI)

• Acquired by ITT to become ITT VIS• Part of Space Systems Division

• HQ Boulder, Colorado

• Offices in Europe and Asia plus distributors

• Consultancy, customisation & education services

• 30 years experience in image processing, data analysis and visualisation


ITT VIS Desktop Products

• IDL (Interactive Data Language)• Easy-to-use programming language• Widely used in data analysis & visualisation• Used by scientists, engineers, researchers

• ENVI• Image display and processing application• Written in IDL• Extensible using IDL• Available for use as a batch toolkit• Originally for multi- and hyper-spectral analysis• “ENVI Zoom” recently developed for image/geospatial analyst


Image Access Solutions (IAS)

• Make Informed Decisions Faster• Provide deployed military personnel and disaster responders in

remote locations with quick access to large geospatial images• Immediately stream full image scenes with metadata regardless of

network bandwidth limitations, including dial-up (56k) connections

• IAS Provides• Support for the critical standards

• Standards-compliant, JPEG 2000 Interactive Protocol (JPIP) image streaming

• NITF, JPEG 2000, NGA NPJE & EPJE, and DoDIIS Interoperability

• A scalable COTS architecture designed for performance• Consulting engineering services for integration into existing

enterprise architectures


JPEG2000 CompressionExample: 8-bit RGB Color Air Photo

• Raw Image:• 28701 cols x 13053 rows x 3 bands x 8-bit

• 1072 MB original file size

• Numerically Lossless:• Numerically Reversible

• 608 MB

• 1.76:1 compression (57%)

• Visually Lossless:• VL compression

• 107 MB

• 10:1 compression (10%)

The Pull Approach

• What is it?• Compress and store data on the Server side • Transmit only the data the user requests – but allow access to all

of the information in every image

• What is the benefit?• Less storage space• Small communication link demands• Much less expensive than using massive server farms• Allows for delivery of time-dominant information• Allows for support of a large and disperse user base

• Serve Large Products over existing communication links – all the way down to handheld devices and radios.


Robust Metadata Streaming

• Business Logic to determines when/what metadata is streamed to the client• Stream any subset of NITF metadata

• Just the RPC, Collection Date, Classification…

• Stream metadata from other sources• Ancillary data, annotations, MOTD text messages

• Viewer can request preferred metadata format• ITT XML, GeoJP2, GMLJP2, SensorML, KML, or Binary Blob

• Viewer Hints• IdealStretch (determined at compression time), GoTo Location

• NITF XML Generator (NXG) standalone utility creates ITT XML for backward compatibility


Image Dissemination – Enterprise IAS

Bringing rapid image delivery services to the enterprise

• JPIP Streaming services

• Image compression services

• NITF J2K services

• Custom services

• Access from Java Viewer, ENVI and other clients


What is Enterprise IAS?

• Image Access Solutions (IAS) provides a client-server configuration for high-performance image compression, conversion, and delivery based on JPEG 2000 standards.

• On the server, IAS provides image compression, conversion, streaming, and integration into SOA architectures.

• On the client side, IAS provides a high-performance, user-friendly interface for viewing and chipping streamed imagery.

• These tools use wavelet compression technology to convert images to JPEG 2000 in either JP2 or Certified NITF file formats.

• The converted images can be requested and viewed on different platforms, regardless of screen size, processing capabilities, and bandwidth constraints.


Enterprise IAS Components


Enterprise IAS Server Components (1)

• Compressor - Compresses NITF, TIFF, and GeoTIFF data to NITF 2.1 (NSIF 1.0) with JPEG2000 compression (NITF C8) with support for multiple profiles to meet a variety of compression needs.

• Server Registry - A simple registry based on the Atom publishing protocol for registering datasets and disseminating available data, metadata and associations via HTTP or HTTPS.

• JPIP Streamer - Enables your application server to stream imagery via JPIP over HTTP or HTTPS to any JPIP-enabled viewer.

• Transcoder - Transcodes images between the Exploitation Preferred JPEG 2000 Encoding (EPJE) and the NITF Preferred JPEG 2000 Encoding (NPJE) format, without having to uncompress and re-compress the image.


Enterprise IAS Server Components (2)

• IAS Web Coverage Service (WCS) - Provides standard WCS interfaces to create, register and retrieve imagery for clients that are not JPIP enabled

• IAS Web Mapping Service (WMS) - Provides standard WMS interfaces to create, register and retrieve imagery for clients that are not JPIP enabled

• TFRD to NITF Converter - Converts TFRD files to NITF 2.1 files using compression profiles to prepare TFRD data for the JPIP Streamer. Additional cost component.

• Image Chipper – Create compliant NITF or GeoTIFF images on the server. Chips from compressed images and chips and transcodes. Additional cost component.

Enterprise IAS Client Components

• IAS Viewer • Freely available• View data from any JPIP stream. • View associated metadata from an IAS Server • Small download using Java WebStart

• IAS Client Chipper• Additional cost plug-in to IAS Viewer • Save a ‘chip’ as a compliant NITF or GeoTIFF image at user-

specified resolution

• GDAL JPIP format driver• Enable almost any application to view data from a JPIP stream• ITT VIS provided a reference implementation to the Open Source

Community


Benefits of Enterprise IAS

• Secure Streaming (HTTPS, SSL) [aka JPIPS]

• Standard Administration• Authentication, Cluster, Failover, Bandwidth Control, User

Restriction

• Improved catalog for image_pathname and metadata

• More stream-time tap points• Interceptors for OTF operations (metadata insertion, transcode)• Filters for limiting connections and supporting releasability
