SOCET GXP v2.3, scheduled for release in 2007, will contain a direct connection to the ESRI Geodatabase. The capability to store –and to retrieve for update or future analysis – graphics and features with their ground coordinates and attributes in the geodatabase is known as spatially enabled exploitation, and creates benefits across the geospatial analysis and imagery analysis communities. SOCET GXP v2.3 offers this capability to image analysts and geospatial analysts, fully integrated with its existing easy-to-use functionality.
Storing vectors in a database provides enormous analysis benefits to the military analyst using a traditional electronic light table. Currently, analysts frequently have to read textual reports to try to determine what has changed. Ordinarily, vector data is collected when the initial reports are created, but not saved in a format that facilitates quick retrieval based on temporal and geographic attributes. It is critical to store this data in ground coordinates, resulting in “ground space graphics,” to ensure consistency through time and accurate fitting to imagery. With SOCET GXP v2.3, new and historic information is at your fingertips — thus eliminating time-consuming searches for hard copy or archived reports.
SOCET GXP v2.3 will include the following capabilities:
– Connection to ESRI Geodatabase or SOCET SET® Feature Database
– Use query tool to pull information from database; populate or update attributes
– Customize, organize and display annotation graphics, feature graphics and shapefiles
– Extract vector data from imagery; store in the database as ground space graphics
– Sort layers of graphics for animation
