The CCRS Quicklook Swath Browser
Michael Adair · 2000
This paper presents the argument that there is an existing remote sensing data source that is being under-utilized in the form of quicklook browse data. This represents a large, on-line low-cost data source that could be used for scientific and non-scientific applications. A new user interface has been developed to query the browse imagery archive at CCRS that presents the imagery as a full swath containing all data collected in a satellite acquisition segment. Given easy access to this data, it can then be geocoded and combined to create continental or planetary scale mosaics and time-series.
