QUICKFIRE: A JPEG 2000/JPIP-Enabled ISR Screener Application

摘要

In this paper we present a JPEG2000-enabled ISR dissemination system that provides an airborne-based compression server and a ground-based screener client. This system makes possible direct dissemination of airborne collected imagery to users on the ground via existing portable communications. Utilizing the progressive nature of JPEG2000, the interactive capabilities of its associated JPIP streaming, and the on-the-fly mosaicing capability of the MIRAGE ground screener client application, ground-based users can interactively access large volumes of geo-referenced imagery from an airborne image collector. The system, called QUICKFIRE, is a recently developed prototype demonstrator. We present preliminary results from this effort.
