NEXTIMAGE™ for Professional Users

Throught the NEXTIMAGE™ plate-forme, serveral services for GIS and remote-sensing users are avaiable:

	Secure Client-Server integration NEXTIMAGE™ can be deployed in a server-client implementation to share out data like imagery over a private network to multiple workstations. It is also able to be deployed in the field to selectively access required data through secure network channels, allowing for designated access levels.
	DEEPBLUE™ 3D-Maritime Surveillance System DEEPBLUE™ is a service providing a complete workflow from the optimisation of the complex planning of satellite acquisitions to the visualisation of a ship detection report in a 3-D user-friendly environment, along with analysis reporting and live feeds from other assets.
	High-Resolution airborne and satellite data provider Apogee is your source for high to low resolution satellite imagery, optical and radar data and high to medium accuracy Digital Elevation Model.

NEXTIMAGE™ Add-ons and modules

	Advanced Layer Manager Do you have many of your own image and shapefile layers? Then you need this plug-in, which allows you to organise the layers under your own headings, re-order their position in the stack and easily set display properties.
	Terrain Manager The terrain in the light version is derived from the SRTM worldwide global terrain model. High accuracy terrain models are available for many parts of the world {insert link/reference to IFSAR archive layer} and these can be imported into NEXTIMAGE™ using this plug-in. It supports byte, integer and floating point elevation data. When two or more elevation models are available for an area, this plug-in allows the user to switch the displayed model via the layer manager.
	Drawing Tool This Plug-In allows on screen digitising of lines and polygons which can be shared with other NEXTIMAGE™ users or exported to a Shapefile format.
	Fly Through Movie Recorder Creating a 3D fly-through is easy with this plug-in. It allows you to predefine view points, which are replayed while recording the movie.
	Rising Water Levels Ever wondered what impact rising sea levels will have in your area? This tool allows you to adjust the sea level and view the resulting inundation.
	Image Import Module for best resolution In the light version you can import satellite or aerial images in JPEG format. While this results in efficient storage, some of the detail is lost due to compression. This plug-in allows the import of such images in lossless compression format to retain all image details for a perfect view.
	On-the-fly Image Enhancement This plug-in allows you to adjust the contrast and brightness of individual layers within NEXTIMAGE™.
