A distributed LiDAR processing model based on OWS and BPEL

Traditional LiDAR post process is centralized. In centralized process model, data, process module and workflow can only be accessed within specific platform. This results in interoperability problem ranging from data sharing to functionality and workflow reuse. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes distributed process model for LiDAR post process. The distributed process model consists of interoperability solution on three aspects: data, process module and workflow. According to experiment, distributed LiDAR process model overcomes problems mentioned above. The process model and interoperability solution proposed in this paper can serve as reference to other geo-processing application.
