MicroImages Integrates Geospatial Analysis with Google Earth and Maps

Use TNTmips to create ready-to-use standard Google Maps and Earth tilesets or KML files. Publish your tilesets using an HTML page and anyone can use them in Google Maps via their browser. Tilesets can be assembled directly from many different formats and coordinate reference systems using the TNTmips mosaic process. Or, directly import, export, snapshot a view, or render a layout from geodata in your geodata format into KML and KMZ files including images, photos, graphics, and styles. Support is also included to create OSGeo tilesets for use in Open Layers. For detailed descriptions of these new TNTmips features see the illustrated TechGuides at www.microimages.com/press/google.htm or contact info@microimages.com.

Wayland, MA, October 15, 2007 – The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.
(OGC) today announced that Northrop Grumman Corporation has upgraded its OGC membership from Principal Member to Strategic Member.
Strategic Membership is the highest level of membership in OGC.

Northrop Grumman’s membership is through Northrop Grumman’s Information Technology sector. Northrop Grumman joined OGC in 1996 and has been either a Strategic or Principal Member of the Consortium since 2001. As a premier integrator for the geoprocessing and imagery communities and now as a Strategic Member in OGC, Northrop Grumman plays a leading role in the development and implementation of OGC standards for geospatial interoperability.

Northrop Grumman’s continuing commitment to OGC reflects the company’s understanding of their diverse clients’ needs for interoperable geoprocessing. Northrop Grumman is able to help companies and agencies address increasingly complex problems that involve sharing spatial data and processing resources. Decision support for critical infrastructure protection and emergency management, for example, may require some users to remotely access multiple sophisticated image processing servers while others rely on real-time updates to simple maps on their Web-connected PDAs, or alerts from sensor arrays. These flows of data and instructions typically cross the boundaries of multiple proprietary software platforms, so interoperability interfaces are essential.

“Northrop Grumman’s continued membership and active involvement in OGC is part of the company’s commitment to taking a leadership role in the effective and interoperable use of geospatial information and technology in meeting the mission and business needs of government at all levels as well as the commercial and other non-government sectors,” said John Olesak, vice president, Geospatial Intelligence, for Northrop Grumman.

Under the terms of Northrop Grumman’s Strategic Membership, the company will provide the Consortium with significant resources to advance OGC’s Compliance Testing, Outreach and Interoperability Programs.

David Schell, Chairman and CEO of OGC, said, “We are very fortunate to have Northrop Grumman as a Strategic Member. Northrop Grumman brings both corporate commitment and leadership to help the widespread implementation and use of standards-based geospatial capabilities in spatial data infrastructures both domestically and around the world.”

Northrop Grumman is one of the world’s premier providers of information management and systems engineering solutions for government and industry.

TNTmips and the other TNT products from MicroImages can display one or more layers from geodata published on the Internet by any OGC-compliant Web Map Service (WMS). Layers published by several different WMSs can be combined and used with local geodata you have in a wide variety of popular formats (e.g. shapefile, DXF, DWG, MrSID, JP2, GeoTIFF, and many more). MicroImages continuously searches the worldwide web and updates a catalog database of all the geodata layers published by any WMS. These layers can be displayed alone or in combination with other WMS or local layers. Geographic, subject, and other searches of this catalog are directly integrated into the TNT Display process and enable you to locate, select, and add WMS layers to your current view on Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms. For details see the reference page at www.microimages.com/press/wms.htm.
