– Detection, tracking, and bookmarking of moving objects in video, implemented using
SWE and other OGC encodings and interfaces.
• Geosynchronization (Gsync)
– Geodata Bulk Transfer: The ability to distribute individual data sets and/or collections
of data sets in a consistent manner offline and over networks.
– Geosynchronization: Web services and client components to support synchronization
and updates of geospatial data across a hierarchical Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI).

Observation Fusion: Observation Fusion: CoveragesCoverages
• WCS 2.0 Earth Observation Application Profile (EO-AP) Definition and
Implementation. Build on WCS 1.0 EO-AP developed in ESA’s HMA project.
• WCS 2.0 EO-AP to include data models for:
– 2-D Coverage with latitude and longitude axes, which can represent, for example, a hyperspectral
satellite scene.
– the subset of a 2-D satellite scene (either radar or multispectral)
– a time series of co-registered 2-D satellite scenes
– Stitched Mosaic as a 2-D horizontal coverage which can refer to several co-referenced non-
overlapping Datasets;
– Dataset Series as a collection of coverages; A Dataset Series can refer to any number of co-
referenced Datasets and Stitched Mosaics.
• and supporting these data products:
– MODIS (specific products to be identified.)
– ENVISAT MERIS L3 demonstration products (http://earth.eo.esa.int/level3/)
– ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath
– Limb-scanning instruments (e.g. Microwave Limb Sounder) typically produce vertical profiles,
– Narrow-swath instruments (e.g., CALIPSO) produce vertical cross-sections.
• and these encodings:
– GeoTIFF, netCDF / CF-netCDF, JPEG2000, HDF-EOS

Observation Fusion: Observation Fusion: CoveragesCoverages -- 22
• Develop WCS 2.0 Extensions for band subsetting, scaling & interpolation,
EPSG CRS
• Deploy a WCPS that provides multi-coverage fusion capabilities with different,
heterogeneous raster types, for example 1-D sensor time series, 2-D
hyperspectral remote sensing data and bathymetry/elevation data, 3-D EO time
series, 4-D climate data.
• Design WCS 2.0 EO-AP to scale to large number of coverages as is typical in
the data archives of ESA and NASA.
• Develop sufficiently complex WCPS queries, taken from real-life examples, to
make them convincing to domain experts.
• WCS 2.0 EO-AP Compliance Testing. Develop Compliance Test suite for the
WCS 2.0 AP including completing the ATS and developing the ETS and
Reference Implementation.
• Processing of EO Coverages: WCPS and WPS. Develop WCPS for advanced
access to Earth Observation Coverages. Develop WPS for Earth Observation
data analysis of multiple coverages and other data.

Bulk Transfer CapabilitiesBulk Transfer Capabilities
• The proposed Geodata Bulk Transfer capability consists of a
conceptual 'container' where the 'parts' (defined below) function
independently of the whole container thus allowing potential producers
and consumers to leverage only part of the interoperability standard.
The 'container' should support the ability to:
1. Define the relationships between feature types
2. Maintain integrity (container check sums)
3. Provide a compression methodology optimized for transmission and
consumption on disadvantaged clients
4. Describe the parts or feature types within the container
5. Define the metadata for the whole container as well as the parts of the
container
6. Provide for direct random access (desirable but not mandatory)

GeosyncGeosync in OWSin OWS--8: additional considerations8: additional considerations
• Schema Initialization
– Enable creation of a new feature type in the data server through GSS
• Data Initialization: Ability to add and initialize features on server, prior to
geosynchronization
– Full Copy Data Initialization
– Partial Copy Initialization: similar to full copy data initialization except that a subset
of the source features is identified for geosynchronization (filtered on temporal, spatial
and scalar property constraints)
– No Copy Data Initialization (Point in Time Forward): geosynchronization can begin
at any point-in-time without the need to seed the target feature type with data from
the source feature type. The only requirement is that the target feature type exists or
is created using Schema Initialization. All future changes are integrated from the start
of no copy data initialization.
• Geosynchronization for Time Stamped, Time Sliced Data (WFS 2.0)
– Test spatio-temporal editing, filtering with GSS

Observation Fusion: Motion TrackingObservation Fusion: Motion Tracking
• Implementing and reconciling NATO STANAG and NGA MISB
standards for tracking moving objects in motion imagery, using OGC
Standards. Investigate, evaluate and recommend areas of
harmonization between OGC Sensor Web Enablement, OGC GML-
based standards, and OGC Tracking and Notification Service, to
support STANAG 4607 Ground Moving Target Indication Format
(GMTIF), Edition 3; STANAG 4609, Edition 3, EG0903.0 Video Moving
Target Indicator (VMTI); and NATO Study 4676 NATO ISR Tracking
Standard (NITS).
• Document a set of architecture viewpoints showing the use of SWE and
other OGC standards to implement the TCPED-based GMTI, VMTI,
and ISR Tracking concept of operations. Document any gaps and
shortfalls found in the architecturally relevant OGC suite of standards
where implementations supporting GMTI, VMTI, and/or ISR Tracking
would fall short of defined requirements. The OWS-8 ER on this topic
could become the basis for an OGC Best Practice.
