Boeing enhances Datamaster geospatial data tool
Boeing has enhanced its DataMaster geospatial data management software, bringing defence and intelligence users the ability to text-tag live streaming video capabilities in real-time.
The new enhancement has been added along with other updates as part of the latest version upgrade to DataMaster 5.3.
The new capability will improve the situational awareness for users, and result in faster cataloging and retrieval of data and more robust and precise analytics of imagery, video, maps and terrain.
DataMaster is a suite of commercial-off-the-shelf products and capabilities that provide a single repository for imagery, maps, elevation data and video.
Sparky Olsen, acting director, Boeing Intelligence Systems Group, said: ‘The technology enhancements found in DataMaster 5.3 are designed to create clearer links within geospatial data for swift, precise and perceptive intelligence. DataMaster provides increased data visualisation for unique insights, enabling analysts to make better decisions.’
Additional DataMaster 5.3 software upgrades include support for 32-bit Geo-referenced Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) and National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) data improving precision and ability to handle more data types; streaming of and image format conversion to JPEG2000 images as well as JPIP (JPEG 2000 Interactive Protocol) streaming for improved image review; and expanded metadata support for GeoTIFF and NITF imagery.
