Realizing Results
The forestry department was able to conduct: • Organize file-based, database and web-enabled
geospatial and business data into one human-readable
• Time series analysis by visualising the imagery across library
time • Optimize efforts by dynamically creating information
• Change analysis by creating Normalized Difference and enabling fast image delivery and GIS Integration
