I've been checking out the progress with the Imagery Index. It's lookin good. So have been thinking about "Access Tools" abit now that Chris has the index working.
Assuming the data is Processed image data. I have some area of interest, so I use a bbox and some other filters to get back a list of urls, having those urls I download the data to my application. Once I have the data local, the tool auto-builds index and mapfile ( MapServer ) allowing me to see it as a wms. Once I can view it as a wms ( assuming overviews are in the tifs here ) I can check it and run code to TMS it. Once I have the TMS ( like on S3 ) I can delete the source tifs. I would imagine all of this working off of some app that you just started from a public EC2 instance that would start you off with OL showing you the result of your query to the Imagery Index ( Chris already showed this to us ), then allow you to run the process kind've like TileMill. This shouldn't be so hard to do with one application instance, the trick would be to do it with 100 to speed things up. Is this the kind've thing people have in mind for Access Tools? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://host134.hostmonster.com/mailman/listinfo/talk_openaerialmap.org
