The topic of storing satellite imagery in the db vs. on the filesystem has been discussed before. I am hoping for answer to the following --
Can I store imagery in the db with the hope of being able to query for specific areas of interest (AOI) in the imagery and retrieving just those portions of the image? The images repository is not static -- new images are being added constantly, at a pretty high rate... several Gb a day. I am hoping for a config like so -- Images from source --> PostGres with images <--> PostGIS with spatial index of images <--> MapServer <--> Application with a map interface to allow zooming into the AOI and retrieving the relevant portion from the underlying imagery Does PostGIS/PostGres allow for such spatial indexing of images? -- Puneet Kishor _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
