Using web services to fuse remote sensing and multimedia data repositories

Remote sensing data is becoming readily available on the Web. However, remote sensing data is not as widely used as other web data. Here, we explore how a fusion of remote sensing data with web paradigms and data would benefit the remote sensing community. We present a framework to achieve this fusion which extends on previous research by: 1) being generic, so that it can be used in any situation; 2) automatic, so that it requires almost no input from the user, and 3) archival, allowing access to decades of remote sensing and web information. We demonstrate our framework with a proof-of-concept prototype.
