Abstract :
Satellite images supply important information on Earth surface, weather, clime, geographic areas, vegetation, and natural phenomena. Processing of satellite data requires high computation resources and flexible tools in order to search, discover, and reveal the main information, to experiment new algorithms, and to include them into new Earth Observation applications. This paper describes the features and the architectures of the ESIP and gProcess platforms, supporting the Grid based satellite imagery processing. The development methodology of Earth Observation applications is highlighted as well in order to hide the Grid complexity to the user.
