Remote Sensing Case Study
• Problem
How do you discover how the vegetation over a particular region
of WA has altered over the past 10 years as a result of climate
change?
• Old Solution:
Spend 6 months trying to find the right tapes from several Perth
locations and then process the data to produce a time series of
images (assuming you can find the right hardware to read the
tapes!)
• iVEC’s Solution:
Simply use the web form at iVEC that is connected to the petabyte
data store, which will return the time series of images within
seconds
