MIT OrthoServer
 Entry ID: MITOrthoServer

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The MIT OrthoServer is a set of components that serve large collections of geo-image libraries online, in a seamless, multi-resolution fashion. Because of their practicality, their ease-of-use and the increasing demand for digital orthoimagery, the servers became a success. To capitalize on this success, the researchers at MIT collaborated with other research parties nationwide and helped them build their own servers.

As active participants in the OGC Web Mapping Testbeds, the researchers at MIT have also made sure that the protocols used in the MITOrthoServers' web interface comply with the latest (1.0) wmt specifications issues by OGC.
