Advanced Technology for Image Delivery

In time-critical situations, having access to standards-based technology you can trust is essential. That’s why IAS uses the intelligent streaming technology and compression capabilities of the JPEG 2000 ISO standard format to provide high performance, secure delivery and management of the geospatial imagery and data needed for actionable intelligence.

With IAS, large imagery datasets are compressed using JPEG 2000 and can be accessed via JPIP (JPEG 2000 Interactive Protocol), allowing you to deliver any portion of the image at any resolution over any bandwidth. End users can quickly access, zoom and pan a desired region of interest within an image without having to receive or decompress the entire multi-gigabyte file. This means that the tactical user can retrieve only 1-2% of a compressed file, representing a download time of minutes or seconds as compared with hours, allowing users to receive time-sensitive image information to make mission critical decisions.

Seamless Integration to Enterprise Architectures

The suite of IAS components can be deployed into an existing JavaEE compliant enterprise framework or easily used with the out-of-the-box Web Processing Service(WPS) framework provided with IAS. IAS components can be integrated by the Exelis Visual Information Solutions Professional Services Group, which has over 20 years experience in image processing & management, and continues to contribute significantly to the development of the JPEG 2000 standard.

Our services professionals will help design the appropriate architecture to optimize deployment of the components to meet your organization’s specific needs, and additional components can be developed and deployed as specified by system integrators, prime contractors, program managers or IT and IS Managers. And, because IAS is a Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) component, integration into your enterprise is easy. IAS already supports JBoss and Glassfish server environments.
