Geomatica Image Management System (GIMS)

Having problems storing and managing all that image data? How recent are the images and GIS layers in your database? Can your GIS department keep up with increasing demand for image and mapping products?

Introducing GIMS, the Geomatica Image Management System that enables organizations large and small to effectively manage and access geospatial data. Developed in partnership with Oracle, GIMS is a robust, enterprise-wide solution designed to handle the storage, processing, and access of all geospatial data types, including aerial photos, satellite images, scanned maps, metadata tables, basic text, and more.

Using Oracle 10g and the new GeoRaster data type, imagery can now be accessed using SQL in the same manner as text and vector data, making it easy for all users to find the imagery they are looking for. With GIMS, all your geospatial data can now be stored within a single location. No longer will you need to search through file systems or CDs to find the right image!

The Geomatica Image Management System’s modular framework allows for system components to be added when needed.
The core system includes utilities for loading data into the Oracle 10g database, including image data and any associated metadata. Add a web interface using eSpatial’s iSMART technology, or add PCI‘s Geomatica software as a thick client. In addition, the system can support any 3rd party software that can access Oracle data.
