Forest Service Purchases i-cubed's DataDoors for Geodata Clearinghouse.FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- i-cubed, a geospatial engineering Geospatial Engineering, also known as Geospatial Information and Services (GI&S), and formerly called Mapping Charting and Geodesy (MC&G) remains a core mission of the Army Engineer branch and provides the foundation layers for GEOINT. company in Fort Collins, Colo., has won a contract from the USDA USDA, n.pr See United States Department of Agriculture. Forest Service (FS) to implement the DataDoors(TM) software system at the FS Geospatial Service and Technology Center (GSTC GSTC Graduate Student Technical Conference GSTC Generalized Sheet Transition Condition (electromagnetic fields) GSTC Georgia Science and Technology Commission ) in Salt Lake City. DataDoors will serve as the raster data provisioning engine inside the FS Geodata Clearinghouse. "DataDoors will allow users to quickly search the Forest Service archive The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please help [ improve the introduction] to meet Wikipedia's layout standards. You can discuss the issue on the talk page. A JBoss definition of a service archive (. of raster maps and images on the Clearinghouse web site and download the selected files directly into their image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished or GIS software system," said Dave George, Group Leader for Clearinghouse and Program Coordination at GSTC. DataDoors is an enterprise software system designed by i-cubed to reduce geodata procurement time from hours to minutes. Built upon a combination of proven database and image processing technologies, DataDoors enables the user to search via ArcMap(TM) or web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet. In order to view a site, you type its address (URL) into the browser's Location field; for example, www.computerlanguage.com, and the home page of that site is downloaded to you. for any type of geospatial data in local or remote databases. Once suitable data has been selected, DataDoors applies standard (or customized) image processing algorithms on the fly and delivers a tailored data set to the end user's desktop application. "i-cubed developed DataDoors specifically for large organizations that need to give their users faster and easier access to their geospatial data, especially satellite imagery," said Russ Cowart, i-cubed President. "A major benefit of DataDoors is that end-users can get whatever they need in only minutes, 24/7 with no GIS or image processing specialist needed." The FS Geodata Clearinghouse provides government personnel and the public with the online ability to search, view and download metadata and geospatial data sets pertaining to lands of the National Forest System. After DataDoors implementation, data sets will include digital raster maps, digital orthophotos and other imagery. The clearinghouse is registered with the Geospatial One-Stop, is a node on the Federal Geographic Data Committee Federal Geographic Data Committee - (FGDC) ftp://fgdc.er.usgs.gov/gdc/html/fgdc.html. Clearinghouse Network, and serves data to U.S. Geological Survey's National Map. The clearinghouse may be accessed at http://fsgeodata.fs.fed.us.
