Proposal #: 10-57661PI(s): Naphtali D RisheInstitution: Florida International UniversityTitle: RAPID: MRI: Development of Database Appliance Module for Multi-temporal Analysis and Correlation of Gulf Oil Spill Related Geospatial DataProject Proposed:This project, building an instrument that can analyze and correlate multi-temporal geospatial data, develops a new module working in conjunction with FIU?s TerraFly database appliance, with specific applicability to the study of coastal and near-coastal areas affected by the Gulf Oil Spill. The instrument will provide data analysis, definition, and visualization in combination with efficient algorithms. TerraFly is an FIU project with wide outreach and impact, where users visualize aerial imagery, precise street name overlays, and various other overlays. Users virtually "fly" over imagery via a web browser, without any software to install or plug in. Tools include user-friendly geospatial querying, interfaces with real-time data suppliers, demographic analysis, annotation, route dissemination via autopilots, and an application programming interface (API) for web sites (to name a few). Since the instrument can provide quick-response development of the tools, the project develops a unique module in TerraFly that can enable various studies of the coastal communities affected by the Gulf Oil Spill. Application examples range from environmental monitoring (such as analysis of water source availability by the USGS and water management districts) to questions of economic impact, such value of real estate in certain regions.The instrument under development enables multi-temporal geospatial data analysis and correlation, with a specific applicability to the study of coastal and near-coastal areas affected by the Gulf Oil Spill. This hardware-software appliance, enables access to algorithms and data that allow a variety of functions to be defined, analyzed and visualized by the instrument?s users. This Instrument, consisting of a module working in conjunction with FIU?s TerraFly database appliance, that enables temporal querying, cross-referencing, visualization, and analysis of geospatial data, including time series multi-temporal aerial imagery, multi-temporal measurement and economic data, and vast existing static geospatial databases. Hence, the instrument provides a platform for analysis of differences in imagery and vectors, to facilitate querying differences per location and to address a range of questions pertaining to the economic impact of the Gulf Oil Spill on coastal communities. The hardware aspects of the Instrument involve assembly and interconnection of a database machine from servers, mass storage units, and networking elements. The core of the Instrument is a software system running on the hardware platform. This is a Geospatial Database Management System to highly efficiently and reliably perform the functions enumerated above. The software system and the hardware elements together comprise a database appliance, i.e. a device accepting complex queries as input, rapidly evaluating said queries against massive data stored within the appliance, and emitting output streams for human consumption or for further machine processing. Thus, a smaller part of the work is assembling and interconnecting existing commodity hardware units into a new high-performance platform, while the bigger part of the work is software engineering effort to code, deploy, and calibrate the software system, as implementation of algorithms that have developed under non-MRI funding. Broader Impacts: Plans include having the data and graphic interface to queries, both user-definable and pre-defined, posted at http://terrafly.fiu.edu/r.htm. In addition to research outcomes, this site will provide documentation relative to the project. The project enables and facilitates the access to the database and interfaces for all researchers and general public and also allows system-to-system XML access to all academic researchers to their GeoQuery system for the relevant Gulf Coast data.

提案编号：10- 57661 PI（s）：Naphtali D Rishe机构：佛罗里达国际大学标题： 快速：磁共振成像：拟议项目：本项目旨在建立一个能够分析和关联多时相地理空间数据的工具，开发一个与金融情报室合作的新模块。的TerraFly数据库设备，具体适用于受海湾漏油影响的沿海和近沿海地区的研究。该仪器将提供数据分析、定义和可视化，并结合有效的算法。TerraFly是一个具有广泛影响力和影响力的FIU项目，用户可以在其中可视化航空图像，精确的街道名称叠加以及各种其他叠加。用户通过网络浏览器虚拟地“飞”过图像，而无需安装或插入任何软件。工具包括方便用户的地理空间查询、与实时数据提供者的接口、人口分析、注释、通过自动驾驶仪发布路线以及网站应用程序编程接口（API）（仅举几例）。由于该仪器可以提供快速反应的工具开发，该项目在TerraFly中开发了一个独特的模块，可以对受海湾漏油影响的沿海社区进行各种研究。应用实例从环境监测（如美国地质勘探局和水管理区对水源可用性的分析）到经济影响问题（如某些地区的真实的房地产价值），正在开发的工具能够进行多时相地理空间数据分析和关联，特别适用于受海湾漏油影响的沿海和近沿海地区的研究。这种硬件-软件设备，使访问算法和数据，允许各种功能的定义，分析和可视化的仪器？的用户。该仪器由一个与金融情报室协同工作的模块组成？的TerraFly数据库设备，它可以对地理空间数据进行时态查询、交叉引用、可视化和分析，包括时间序列多时相航空影像、多时相测量和经济数据以及大量现有的静态地理空间数据库。 因此，该仪器提供了一个分析图像和矢量差异的平台，以便于查询每个地点的差异，并解决与海湾漏油对沿海社区的经济影响有关的一系列问题。仪器的硬件方面涉及数据库机器与服务器、大容量存储单元和网络元件的组装和互连。 仪器的核心是运行在硬件平台上的软件系统。这是一个地理空间数据库管理系统，可以高效可靠地执行上述功能。 软件系统和硬件元件一起包括数据库设备，即接受复杂查询作为输入、针对存储在设备内的大量数据快速评估所述查询、以及发出输出流以供人类消费或用于进一步的机器处理的设备。 因此，工作的一小部分是将现有的商品硬件单元组装和互连到一个新的高性能平台中，而工作的更大部分是软件工程工作，以编码，部署和校准软件系统，作为在非MRI资助下开发的算法的实现。更广泛的影响：计划包括在http://terrafly.fiu.edu/r.htm上发布用户可定义和预定义的查询数据和图形界面。除了研究成果外，该网站还将提供与项目相关的文件。该项目为所有研究人员和公众访问数据库和界面提供了便利，并允许所有学术研究人员以系统到系统的XML方式访问其GeoQuery系统，以获取相关的墨西哥湾沿岸数据。
