A View from Above Without Leaving the Ground
ABSTRACT
In order to deliver accurate geospatial data and imagery to the remote sensing community, NASA is constantly developing
new image-processing algorithms while refining existing ones for technical improvement. For 8 years, the NASA Regional
Applications Center at Florida International University has served as a test bed for implementing and validating many of these
algorithms, helping the Space Program to fulfill its strategic and educational goals in the area of remote sensing. The
algorithms in return have helped the NASA Regional Applications Center develop comprehensive semantic database systems
for data management, as well as new tools for disseminating geospatial information via the Internet.
