RasterTile

The RasterTile project is a core project in the Terrafly System to process and provide raster imagery (including satellite images and aerial photographs).

This project is created for two purposes. First is to convert satellite/aerial imageries from various sources/formats/projections to a uniform format and projection, and store them in a special designed local imagery database. The second purpose is to provide a .NET based web service that can read data from the internal database, and serve these data in the form of web API.

Project Structure

The project is comprised of four sub-projects: a core library written with C++, a CLR project that converts C++ library to C# interface, a Loader written with C#, and a reader written with ASP.NET

• TileImagerySystem

  • The core library written with C++. It provides all the important functionalities that is needed.

• TileImagerySystem_CLR

  • A CLR project that converts C++ library to a C# library.

• TileImageryLoader

  • A GUI based imagery loader, which makes it easier to convert imagery from various formats to locally stored format.

• TileImageryReader

  • A .NET based web service that can read data from the database and serve them as web API.
