When publishing a new spatial model, the image analyst is able to: Define the spatial model description Define human-readable titles for each spatial model input parameter Define default values for each input parameter Predefine the catalog query that will automatically propose valid imagery data inputs to the end users . OGC-Compliant Web Service – The ERDAS APOLLO geoprocessing service implements the OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) 1.0 specification List published spatial models through the WPS GetCapabilities response Provide full spatial model description through the WPS DescribeProcess response Remotely execute spatial models through the WPS Execute request Manage Processes The ERDAS APOLLO Data Manager allows you to manage the published spatial models and configure the level of access for each role. Manage WPS Processes and Jobs – The ERDAS APOLLO Data Manager allows you to manage the WPS processes and jobs. Browse and view the WPS process tree Delete processes from the tree Create customized users, roles Manage, read, and execute rights to each process View and manage the WPS “jobs” running on the server Execute Processes over the Web Geospatial Portal allows end users to select, configure, and execute the processes remotely. Fully Described Processes –Geospatial Portal provides multiple panels that fully describe the processes. Process view Displays all processes that the user can read and execute Process Description panel Provides a detailed description of the model that the user selected to execute Process Input panel ERDAS APOLLO 2015 December 10, 2014 26 Displays all process arguments and allows you to configure them Provides support for multiple data inputs Provides configurable alpha-numeric and color input fields Provides default values for arguments Highlights required arguments Input Data Search Results Provides separate panels to display each imagery data input required to execute a process Display imagery search results for the area the user is looking at in the map Prompts the user to select the valid input data to “load” as the process input Process Monitoring –Geospatial Portal provides panels to monitor the process execution and access the processing results. My Process view Lists all processes that the user has run Displays job metadata: when the process was run, which process was run, and its progress Process Arguments view Displays all arguments used in the process run Process Output view Lists each process output with metadata, thumbnail, extent, and the tools to visualize and download the processing results Visualize and Download Process Outputs –Geospatial Portal allows visualization and downloading of the processing results. Add process outputs to the map as map layers Use any map and layer tools to manipulate the outputs Configure layer opacity, visibility, and styling Zoom in, zoom out, and pan Measure distances and identify pixel values Generate a Web Map Context (WMC) for distribution of a user-created map Use the Clip, Zip, and Ship feature of Geospatial Portal to download the process results ERDAS APOLLO 2015 December 10, 2014 27 ERDAS Geoprocessing Workflow Using ERDAS IMAGINE, the remote sensing data analyst can: Author spatial models Publish spatial models to the ERDAS APOLLO WPS Using ERDAS APOLLO Data Manager, the ERDAS APOLLO administrator can: Browse processes, which can be easily organized by category Manage access to the processes Delete processes Using Geospatial Portal, the end user can: Execute complex spatial models in a map area of interest, with detailed knowledge of the process or data Immediately visualize the WPS process outputs on the map and download them Return to Page 2 ERDAS APOLLO 2015 December 10, 2014 28 Geospatial Portal – Integrated Web Client Geospatial Portal is a configurable and customizable browser-based web portal that can be used for finding, viewing, querying, and analyzing geospatial data published by Hexagon Geospatial products and/or other standard web services.
