an organization to crawl, catalog, describe
and securely disseminate massive volumes
of geospatial and business data

3. It’s All About Your “Bounding Box”
A user should be able to draw a bounding box on a map, declare a slice of
time, and discover and access all the available, relevant, and authorized
information within that area.
Sensor Data
EO, Spectral, Radar,
LiDAR, Infrared, FMV, in
situ, GPS, etc.
Access from Any Device
Desktop, Laptop, PDA, Wireless,
Smartphone
Geospatial Data
Location References in
Structured Data
Relational Databases, Travel Itineraries,
Financial Transactions, Corporate Data,
Personnel Records, Statistical Data, etc.
Maps, Imagery, Features, Terrain, Place
Names, Buildings, Infrastructure, Roads,
Political Boundaries, Hydrographic,
Geodetic, etc.
Location References in Unstructured Data
News Reports, Publications, Manifests, Internet,
World Wide Web, Audio, Video, etc.

4. What can APOLLO do for you?
Manage large amounts of disperse data
Catalog your data no matter what format its
in (and keep the catalog up to date)
Provide portal access for internal and 3rd
party users to search and discover
Clip, Zip and Ship for download
Ideal for Open Data and INSPIRE

8. Features:
Data management console
All configuration options can be done within the
GUI
Datasets can be copied, dragged, dropped and
viewed at all times
Can define authentication per service

9. 2013 Features - Virtual Mosaic
 Group datasets
together, limit by
scale, and portray
potentially
thousands of
datasets as a
single virtual
mosaic layer
 Configure via the
admin console

10. Temporal support
Enable temporal support and enable customers to
build applications to highlight change over time

11. Watermarking
Protect intellectual property rights for data by
watermarking

12. Drop box
Automatically relocate and catalog incoming data by
setting up listeners on a ‘drop box’
Data is moved to target location, and then crawled into catalog
Additional features:
Select any number of directories as drop box
Create filters on data formats
Couple with FTP server to create a remote drop box

13. Catalog hierarchy management
Reorganize the catalog hierarchy (i.e reparenting of aggregates)
Drag and drop

15. Why ERDAS APOLLO?
APOLLO is built on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Standards
APOLLO can discover and manage enormous amounts of geospatial data
Proven to be the fastest image serving capability available
On Demand Spatial Analysis via Web Processing Services (WPS)
