FASTER Planning Software

5.2 FASTER planning software layout

In the following diagram the FASTER planning software block diagram is presented.

The idea is to use a standard platform, easy and quick to use, to define the target area. At

present, different tools are available which use a three-dimensional representation of the

Earth globe to access for example, satellite and aerial imagery [Ref (23)]. They are known

as geographical browsers or geobrowsers and have many features:

 Display satellite and aerial imagery available from several database all around

the world constantly updated; high resolution imagery is available for a wide

range of country (Ikonos and Quikbird satellite data with a GSD ≤ 1 m);

 Layers can be used to display proprietary information over the standard

database and third party data can be displayed too;

 Users can create and save georeferenced paths or markers to identify interest

areas;

 Tools are available to create new data that can be exported or imported using

standard formats;

In particular, the capability to import/export data combined with the possibility to

create georeferenced paths or markers creates an useful interface with many other

software environments.
