Virtual Mosaic Module

Building Image Mosaics in RemoteView

The Virtual Mosaic module streamlines the process of building extremely large-scale virtual mosaics from national level and high-resolution commercial imagery. The Virtual Mosaic module can easily handle mosaics containing over 100 images, creating mosaics comprised of hundreds of gigabytes. This application is ideal for broad area search applications or anytime a large area context is required for imagery analysis.

Virtual mosaics created with the module require no preprocessing steps or conversion of images to proprietary formats. RemoteView maintains all images in their native file formats. The product includes an intuitive user interface that works with a sophisticated catalog application included as a new standard feature in RemoteView Professional. The catalog allows users to search for relevant imagery and apply filters to limit the selected files by geographic area, cloud coverage, NIIRS ratings, sensor type, date acquired, and a host of other selection criteria.

In addition to making virtual mosaics the wizard also allows the creation of processed products, which are finished orthorectified mosaics that can be saved and printed. These finished mosaics also make an ideal backdrop for larger Shape files.
