Interoperable service (WPS) of landsat image processing

This paper describes the characteristics, methodologies and potentialities of an interoperable service following the Web Processing Service standard (WPS) from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for Landsat imagery. Under the Plan Nacional de Teledetección (PNT) of medium resolution, the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) from Spain has promoted a pilot case for this service. The implemented service is fully automated and customable by the user. It consists of two different sections: the geometric correction and the radiometric correction. Main contribution of this work is to allow the execution of these processes on demand from a web client without installing any additional software, even for a non specialist user of image processing remote sensing tools. Finally, the integration of these operations to another image processing, analytics or classification by other users following same standard protocols should be noted.
