Name:ESIP Platform
Description:Environment-oriented Satellite Data Processing Platform
Abstract:The content of the satellite images supplies information on the earth surface, weather, clime, geographic areas, pollution, and natural phenomena. Unfortunately, the real time supervision requires high computation and massive data storage resources. The main processing consists of imagery classification that is actually a search of information through combinations of multispectral bands of the satellite data. Moreover, the data exploration and interpretation depends on many variables such as satellite image type (e.g. MODIS, Landsat), geographic area, soil composition, vegetation cover, season, and context (e.g. clouds). All these specific and variable conditions require flexible tools and friendly user interfaces to support an optimal research for the appropriate solutions. The ESIP platform supports the development and the execution of the Grid based applications concerning particularly with the processing of satellite images and generally with environmental related processing and studi
