Service of creating and updating pyramids of tiles for OGC WMTS standard

Panorama Imagery Service is a service both for Windows (Windows Service) and for Linux, intended for creating and updating pyramids of tiles in format PNG or JPEG on the spatial data managed by the GIS Server.
Pyramids of tiles are published under protocol OGC WMTS by services of GIS WebService. Various GIS supporting the protocol OGC WMTS and the users of program GIS WebServer SE may be clients of services.
Pyramids of tiles can be created based on a combination of digital vector maps, space and aerial photography, matrixes of heights, data from geoportals and other data.

Product is implemented in languages: Russian, English, Vietnamese.

It is adapted for work on a wide range of operating systems (Windows, Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, MSVS) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, KOMDIV).

Scheme of functioning the Panorama Imagery Service

Service of creating and updating pyramids of tiles for the OGC WMTS standard

Pyramids of tiles can be created based on a combination of digital vector maps, space and aerial photography, matrixes of heights, data from geoportals and other data. To read source data, Imagery Service can connect to a GIS Server or open datasets on a local network. The program monitors data changes according to the transaction log for vector data, according to the time of updating raster and matrix data, and automatically updates those tiles on which changes have occurred.

The Imagery Service starts automatically at the start of the operating system and can operate around the clock for an unlimited time and perform the data update process at a specified timse.

Setting up the service using the WEB administrator

Main page of service's settings

To use the WEB administrator, you must first install a WEB server with support for php version 5.1.1 and higher. The Imagery Service program includes a module for remote administration of the imgservice.xml settings file. Administration can be performed in secure mode under the control of the https protocol. When the page loads for the first time, you must enter your username and password.

Setting up service's parameters

For setting up the main parameters of the program, you need to call the program settings dialog.

When creating a new project or editing an existing one, you need to do the following:

Set a unique project ID (should not be repeated) in the "Unique ID" field.
Set the name of the tiles project in the "Tiles project name" field.
Select the path to the tile data by clicking on the button of selecting the path to the tile data.
Select tile data matrixes.
Select the necessary scales (scale 0 approximately corresponds to scale 1:620 000 000, 20 - 1:600).
Click on the "Set" button to save the changes in the current project.

Adding data into a project

Optional actions:

Set the times of start and end of updating tiles. If the time is not set, then the analysis of the need to rebuild tiles will be performed continuously, every 60 seconds.
Select the number of threads for processing tiles. By default, it is calculated from the number of system cores.
Select a tile format.
Select the type of data.
For matrix data, select the shadows type and the matrix type.

When creating a new project or editing an existing one, you need to do the following:

Select the path to the tile data by clicking on the button of selecting the path to the tile data.
Select tile data matrixes
Select the required scales (scale 0 approximately corresponds to scale 1 : 620 000 000, 20 - 1 : 600)
Click on the "Set" button for saving the changes in the current project.
