Integration and management of multi-resource remote sensing image of mine based on meta database

As mines of China are scattered, centralized management of remote sensing in mines and realizing efficient retrieval combined with GIS spatial data management advantages is the study and realized main aims. Based on analyzing different management forms and application requirements of multi-source remote sensing images, according to multi-source remote sensing images needed in exploration, development and environmental treatment of mining area, management mechanism of multi-source remote sensing images was structured which take meta database and ArcSDE RasterCatalog as the core by designing different image header file parsers. Further, in the prototype system designed and developed based on ArcEngine9.3, mages of different types were processed separately and imported. On the supported of Meta database, this system realized quick preview and positioning of images. Thus, high efficiency integrated management platform of massive multi-source, multi-scale, multi-resolution, multi-temporal, and multi-band images were provided for mining area.
