- Scope:
Scope of the project encompasses conception and development of requisite spatial data, software & hardware infrastructures for Data as a Service (DaaS) delivery to the ISNET users
- Overall Objectives:
Major objectives of the project is to develop, deploy and host state of the art Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) data licensing service of Pakistan's first remote sensing satellite i.e. PRSS-1 for the ISNET users.
- Methodology:
Online licensing services for satellite imagery have a significant impact on global economy. Once established online through internet, these services provide a reliable satellite image base to the users with an increased flexibility, online utilization capability at a reduced cost (as compared to normal purchase of a satellite image). This enables the users as well as solution provider to be self-sustainable. The intended solution shall have following in-built flexibilities and functionalities:
- Subscribe and use online service to view, use and / or download satellite imagery
- Spatial on Demand - Request for a specific imagery and / or detailed map data for a specific date or period of time
- Area Constrained - Constrained view of only a specific area / site
- User Constrained - Constrained view for only users of specific authenticity
- Map Creation / Editing - User shall be able to create and / or upload - edit - download his own digital maps (kml, kmz, shp and other popular formats of vector maps) on fresh VHR satellite imagery
- Simplistic - User interface shall be simplistic, compatible with all web browsers, easy to use and flexible in order to fulfil custom needs of various users
- Expected Benefits:
Following benefits could be expected from this project:
- Availability of VHR satellite imagery from PRSS-1 to ISNET countries at financially viable costs as compared to international data sources
- Establishment of a common ISNET data resource and a technology platform for future collaborative projects / services in the domain of satellite remote sensing
- Enhanced utilization of an available space asset so as to reduce collective expenses on similar satellite data from other international sources
- Capacity building of relevant agencies of ISNET Countries in development of sophisticated DaaS platform so as to make the forum productive and beneficial for common benefits
