NASA WCPS For Ground-Space Interoperability
Following the announcement of a Web Coverage Processing Standard by the Open Geospatial Consortium on Mar 25, 2009, NASA is currently looking at implementing the capability on the ground and onboard a satellite. This would allow end-users to dynamically upload classifiers to the satellite for real-time onboard processing. This capability exists on EO-1 but the development of classifiers is manual, expensive and time-consuming.
Here is a link to a screencapture describing our current efforts.
Additional information on the WCPS can be found here.
Many thanks to Peter Baumann, Jacobs University Bremen for his support and hard work developing this specification.
An open source version of the WCPS is available here.
