6. Client: National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Goal: Provide geospatial analysts an intuitive
yet powerful search tool to discover, display and
exploit imagery, imagery products, and
intelligence products
Solution Deployed:
$ Intuitive user interface for searching
massive collections of imagery and imagery
products
$ Integration with map and exploitation
interfaces such as Google Earth and Esri
$ Numerous tools such as standing queries
with email, FTP, and RSS notification
capabilities
$ Dissemination capability for delivering
sanitized products
Type of Data Leveraged / Data Sources:
$ Many geospatial product types and data
formats
$ Intelligence Products: born digital and
digitized formats

7. ! DoD’s replacement program
for the legacy Imagery
Product Library (IPL)
Program at 400+/- DoD/IC
sites
! A COTS solution to manage,
archive, discover, retrieve,
repurpose, and disseminate
Multi-INT content including
GEOINT
! An eCMS solution powered
by PTFS’s ArchivalWare GS
application

8. ! Extraction of Metadata from Imagery
$ FME Workspaces are used upon image
ingestion
! Image Transformations
$ FME Workspaces are used to perform image
conversions in several places in the
ArchivalWare
! Creation of Base Map image overlays

FME Workspaces were selected because they are easily integrated with our application.
PTFS needed to add support for processing geospatial file types. The solution needed
to be configurable to accommodate future changes in requirements
