Atlanta, Georgia, USA — This week at ISPRS, Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping, LLC will demonstrate ERDAS IMAGINE®, the industry’s premier geographic imaging suite, access to raster data stored and managed in Oracle® Database 10g. Leica Geosystems and Oracle Corporation have partnered to bring to the market, for the first time, imaging tools that address multiple terabytes (approaching petabytes) of remote sensing, photogrammetry and satellite imagery as a single logical dataset in an open, enterprise system. Oracle Database 10g is the industry's first database designed for grid computing. It includes the new GeoRaster feature in Oracle 10g Spatial that allows vector data, georeferenced raster imagery and gridded data to be stored, indexed, queried and analyzed in the same system. When imagery is stored in GeoRaster, users can find a location on the earth’s surface or in a local coordinate system for each cell in a raster. Additionally, given a location on the earth, they can find the cell in a raster layer associated with that location. Support for Oracle 10g Spatial and GeoRaster will be a standard feature in all Leica Geosystems image processing products, including future releases of ERDAS IMAGINE and Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS).
