MIMapView

Overview

The GeoRover MIMapView extension provides tools for situational awareness by integrating full motion video (FMV) feeds from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or other platforms with the commercial Esri® ArcGIS® Desktop application (ArcView®, ArcEditor™, or ArcInfo®). MIMapView provides tools that are designed to work with Motion Imagery Standards Profile (MISP) compliant video feeds, a standard format used by many Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms.

Features

• Displays metadata information for any Motion Imagery Standards Profile (MISP)-compliant FMV feed
  • MPEG-2, H.264 video compression, MISB Std 0104 metadata format, and UDP transmission format
• Flexible, user-defined metadata recording and storage for Full Motion Video (FMV) feeds to new shapefiles or existing feature layers (shapefile and personal, file, and enterprise ArcSDE® feature classes).
• Enables users to match incoming metadata attributes with existing attributes when storing data to existing feature layers
• Zoom To option menu provides options to 'Zoom To Platform', 'Zoom To Image', or 'Zoom To Platform and Image' (extent of both)
• Zoom To and Pan To option settings for each platform/image footprint
• Provides options to 'Keep On Map' and 'Keep Centered' to provide optimal viewing settings for watching metadata information
• Provides options for adding, editing and removing feeds
• Customizable symbology for each feed

Display Platform Location

• Track multiple platforms simultaneously in the ArcMap™ application using different symbols/colors for easy identification.
• Historical platform track can be displayed in the ArcMap application

Display Platform video feed location

• Display platform video feed location (video footprint) by reading metadata from real-time FMV
• Plots are based on real-time or archived data
• Automatic sensor footprint sizing based on metadata

Benefits

• Tracks and manages multiple video feeds simultaneously in the ArcMap application
• Works with numerous Motion Imagery Standards Profile (MISP)-compliant video streams with KLV metadata
• Provides users with the ability to stop and start metadata recording for the platform, sensor footprint, and sensor footprint centerpoint into new or existing feature layers.
• Enables personnel to perform multiple tasks under one common Esri ArcGIS application
• Can be used with SAIC GeoRover RPF Tools to ensure mission information is displayed over best available NGA raster map products (Enhanced Compressed Raster Graphics [ECRG], Compressed ARC Digitized Raster Graphics [CADRG] and Controlled Image Base [CIB®])
• Proven performance using cost-effective COTS solutions
• Can be configured to work with SAIC AIMES/VPC/MITools feeds
• Increases productivity by enabling users to track FMV feed locations in a geospatial context and quickly react to mission information
