<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Benjamin. I work with the Canadian Ice Service (Environement and Climate Change Canada). The CIS moves, processes (and consumes) more than 120,000 earth observation images from more than a dozen sensor every year as part of operational
workflows (ice, iceberg and marine pollution monitoring / forecasting), so my interest is in looking ahead to doing a larger part of that processing in the cloud, or directly from the source (with the caveat that we are interested primarily in near-real-time
products). Current estimates of the upcoming RADARSAT Constellation Mission show that ECCC end-users could receive (and process/ingest) up to 240GB of data per satellite downlink (every ~32 minutes). We are investigating how we could use the VSI interface
to process these images (or subsets of them) directly from the (remote) source into (local) memory. Mostly I’m here to follow the conversation and any interesting developments.<o:p></o:p></p>
