New Technology Helps Archive and Access the Apollo Mission Images (DSW700)
In March 2004, scientists began discussing the possibility of digitally scanning the original Apollo mission flight negatives to increase research efforts and public access. Since then, Arizona State University partnered with NASA and utilizing the DSW700 to scan the irreplaceable images. More
Enhancing Florida Turnpike's Mobile Asset Management solution (ERDAS ADE)
Recently developing one of the transportation industry’s first WiFi-enabled mobile asset management systems, Florida Turnpike is now able to dynamically collect and readily access asset and geospatial information with Leica ADE. Initially an unforeseen benefit, the technology has become vital to ensure the safety of all Florida motorists. More | ERDAS PDF
Oregon Implements an Imagery Portal (ERDAS IWS)
Oregon realized the need for a more efficient distribution mechanism where users acquire digital datasets via a Web-based library/portal system. The primary goal of this portal is to provide datasets to federal, state, and local agencies and institutions of higher education, by allowing users to select an area of interest and then extract/download the data in the appropriate format and projection to the client's site.
