Development and international technology transfer of environment and disaster information using MTSAT imagery

本文研究了基于网络的多功能运输卫星（MTSAT）数据分发与可视化系统。自2006年10月以来，东京大学工业科学研究所（IIS）和地震研究所（ERI）通过直接接收高速率信息传输（HRIT）对MTSAT图像进行了接收、处理、归档和分发。开发了一个软件包mtsatgeo，其中包括辐射校正、几何校正、空间子集、森林火灾监测和洪水监测功能，可在基于网络的数据分发和处理服务中获得，网址为http://webgms.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/。所有技术都成功转让给了越南（森林保护部门）和老挝（水资源和环境局）。

This research focuses on a network based data distribution and visualization system of Multi-functional Tranport SATellite (MTSAT). Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) and Institute of Earthquake Research Institute (ERI) both at University of Tokyo have been receiving, processing, archiving and distributing of MTSAT imagery with a direct receiving of High Rate Information Transmit (HRIT) since October 2006. A software package, mtsatgeo, is developed including radiometric correction, geometric correction, spatial subset, forest fire monitoring and flood monitoring functions and they are available on a web-based data distribution and processing service accessed at http://webgms.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/. All the technologies are successfully transferred to Vietnam (Forest protection department) and Laos (Water Resources and Environment Agency).
