Archive Management System
 

The Centralized Archive Management System (CAMS) integrates various kinds of satellite image data received and processed by several domestic and international direct receiving stations, archives them permanently, and distributes them to users. Image users can search, select, and obtain various kinds of images of interest by using CAMS as a single contact point (satellite image data portal site). Therefore, CAMS can provide the best solution not only for the integrated and systematic satellite image data management but also for the centralized data distribution service.

The metadata is extracted and the catalog is generated to database automatically from the image data being registered to CAMS. The registered image data are archived hierarchically, automatically, and permanently. Image users can search and browse all registered image catalogs and obtain images of interest by requesting orders to CAMS. CAMS can register and manage the image data themselves as well as catalog data only in order to provide an integrated catalog browse interface. All software components of CAMS perform their unique functions interactively in a distributed server environment (multiple host computers) and a storage area network (SAN). CAMS can register and manage not only satellite image data but also value-added products such as ground control points, digital elevation model, and various kinds of digital thematic maps.
