Achieving Near Real Time Image Data for Emergency Management

Achieving Near Real Time Image Data for Emergency Management The contractor team shall develop a proposed structure for a near real time/real time data tasking, capture, and dissemination system. The team has developed COTS components that are viable for the DHS requirements. Pictometry and ITT have individually supported thousands of missions and have collected terabytes of data used successfully in emergency response. Together, their technologies span the full range of capabilities necessary for emergency response activities, from pre-planning through dissemination. Pictometry¿s experience in flight planning, capture, and processing of data combined with ITT¿s experience in image processing, compression, communications, and dissemination makes this an ideal team to develop and build an instantaneous remote sensing data receiving and processing system for emergency response. Our operational systems use a significant amount of automation throughout the capture and production processes. It is this degree of automation that enables a ready transition to near real time solutions. The Pictometry and ITT systems are designed for generic data types as well as data unique to Pictometry: metric oblique data. The solution will be modular and scalable to meet different levels of emergency response efficiently.
