Abstract

We have designed Global Earth Observation(GEO) Grid, which is an infrastructure for archiving and processing huge satellite imagery and GIS geographical data sets. Users can immediately access the full archive and process the desired data areas on demand using the latest calibration and analysis algorithms through standardized web services interfaces on basic OGSA services. GEO Grid is based on four layers, hardware, virtual storage, application and data services, and user interface. Each layer has the potential for extendability. We constructed GEO Grid to process satellite data taken by ASTER launched at the end of 1999 as an EOS project.
