PICTOMETRY®
DbMAP ASJ
 

Get the most from Spatial Data Infrastructures.
Easily publish GIS data from existing spatial databases and distributed GIS data sources.
Efficient, complete, cost-effective and user-friendly platform to build and release WebGIS applications.
 
DbMAP ASJ has a simple, performing and scalable architecture providing the best interoperability among applications and the Spatial Data Infrastructure.

DbMAP ASJ either takes advantage of all the features, reliability and scalability of Oracle Locator and Spatial, or the flexibility of PostGIS, or any relational database via JDBC/ODBC (Access, SQL Server, SyBase, MySQL, etc.). DbMAP ASJ works within any J2EE Containers (ORACLE, TOMCAT, IBM WEBSPHERE, etc.) running on Windows, Linux and MAC OS; it offers Web Map Services supported by any WMS clients and offers several other services, through Servlets, like the usage of Google Earth as a data source. It is supplied with royalty free advanced java applets, OCX and Java components. These components can be used freely in WebGIS applications developed with usual programming tools to build best-of-breed thin-client web applications, classic client/server desktop applications and handheld devices applications.

DbMAP ASJ Runtime Server is either licensed per number of users, or per number of web server. In both cases DbMAP ASJ Runtime Server is independent from the number of sessions on the web server and it is equipped with the image services and spatial server components for both DbMAP and WMS clients.

DbMAP Viewer & Author is required on any clients connected to the server component that needs to manipulate deeply the spatial data. It works via http and it is licensed per workstation in every environment where a Runtime Server exists. WebGIS Author application projects are dependant from the DbMap ASJ license owned. DbMAP Viewer & Author includes the Data Manager, which can be directly connected to the data server via Tcp/Ip.

DbMAP Developer Kit is licensed per developer workstation and based on the runtime server license for the development, test and demonstration in the built applications. DbMAP Developer Kit is provided with a DbMAP Viewer & Author license (DataManager included) for development, test and demonstration. Java applets, OCX/activex and Java components (for pocket PC either) are used to build and deploy, royalty-free, all the WebGIS applications. DbMAP Developer Kit is supplied with source code for the satellite applets components, which can be modified for a complete customisation of the user interface. It comes with a full set of templates for the rapid development of advanced GIS application. End users of WebGIS client/server or handheld-based applications built with the Developer Kit must own a DbMAP ASJ Runtime Server user license, which can be provided by authorized developers.

The efficient server component offers advanced GIS services via Web, taking advantage of any features offered by the existing spatial database engine, and accessing the whole Spatial Data Infrastructure. DbMAP ASJ Runtime Server offers Map and Image Server services (with multi-source data support) that can be used for remote visualization and editing, even directly on any centralised spatial databases. DbMAP ASJ Runtime Server allows to control the services and GIS data to be published, through a web interface, in order to completely integrate with the existing security system. DbMAP ASJ Runtime Server is easy to install and to configure; it directly accesses the GIS data sources to publish, whichever DB they are in and whatever the format of raster and vectorial files managed.

Author & Data Manager make GIS portal development very easy. With the included Data Manager, DbMAP Viewer & Author ensures to database Administrators and to WebGIS applications developers a fast productivity, keeping complete control on the system and the spatial data. Data Manager, directly connected with the database, makes the population of geospatial tables easy and fast; it also guarantees the best flexibility and control of data migration activities. DbMap ASJ Viewer & Author connects to the DbMAP server component via http (internet or intranet) and it allows, among others: the best control on the data; the selection of the layers (even from different data sources, driver engines and web servers); the visibility of the services and the desired layout for any single application; the direct editing of geometries, depending on the available data management engine installed.

The Developer Kit is complete for all standard development platforms. DbMAP Developer Kit is the most complete and powerful solution to develop WebGIS applications that are interacting with a central Spatial DB reachable via Web. DbMAP Developer Kit includes advanced components to build applications on every platform, using the same development tools already used for the management applications. These components are not simple modules to display and surf the GIS data, but complete “objects” (Applets, OCX/ActiveX and Java classes) offering advanced “methods” to build reliable and fully controlled applications requiring the best interaction and integration among the alphanumeric data and their graphic and geometric representation, georefered in the space.

The Developer Kit is the complete solution for all the standard development platforms. DbMAP Developer Kit is a powerful solution to develop WebGIS applications that need to interact with a centralised spatial database, relaying even on a distributed Spatial Data Infrastructure, and reachable through the Web. DbMAP Developer Kit includes advanced components to build applications on any platforms, using the common development tools. These components are not only simple modules to display and navigate thrhough GIS data, but they are full extendeable “objects” (Applets, OCX/ActiveX and Java classes) offering advanced “methods” to develop reliable and fully controlled applications requiring the best interaction and integration among the alphanumeric data and their graphic and geometric representation, including the control on their georeference in the space.

 

DbMAP Pictometry®,a brand new tool to publish on the web all the Pictometry® oblique image libraries, which works together with all the DbMAP technology components. Apart from the standard features contained within DbMAP ASJ, DbMAP Pictometry® integrates into any GIS portals adding new functionalities and allowing an easy navigation through oblique images.

This technology includes DbMAP Pictometry® Runtime Server and DbMAP Pictometry® Extension Kit, which include all the DbMAP ASJ features, plus the applets (supplied with source code) to build best-of-breed Web GIS applications. The new features include:

- synchronised navigation through oblique images
- query of GIS objects and visualization of related data
- query on data and geolocalization of selected objects
- measuring tool both on the GIS window and on the oblique images window

 - changeable point-of-view
- selection of themes
- integration to other applications through parameters
- etc..

DbMAP Pictometry® Extension Kit is supplied with a license per developer workstation. It includes one license of DbMAP Pictometry® Runtime Server only for development, test and demo purposes. The component is an add-on to DbMAP ASJ, therefore one or more DbMAP Developer Kit licenses must be legally owned.

DbMAP Pictometry® Runtime Server is supplied either with a license per number of users, or per number/configuration of the hosting web server. Both cases, the license is independent from the number of applications running on the web server. The component is an add-on to DbMAP ASJ, therefore one or more DbMAP ASJ Runtime Server licenses must be legally owned.
