SpatialFX® is a patented web service for integrating enterprise data with maps and imagery.
Displaying imagery, maps and a myriad of data elements from multiple sources is challenging. Providing a fluid and interactive user experience, while displaying large amounts of data in a web application is even more challenging. To meet application demands like these your visualization tools must be as sophisticated as your requirements.
SpatialFX® meets these challenges, arming software developers with the visualization tools they need to build state-of-the-art web-based applications that integrate imagery, maps and data elements from multiple sources. Use SpatialFX® to visualize complex maps, combine imagery and vector formats, integrate dynamic data, rapidly refresh views and display large numbers of query results efficiently.
SpatialFX® provides Web 2.0 controls, tools and services for integrating imagery and maps into any web application or Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Service (WMS) client. As a GIS tool built for software developers, the SpatialFX® client is based on DHTML and Javascript. There is nothing users need to download and no plug-ins to install.
Support for Thick Clients
SpatialFX® also supports the ability to embed a Java map viewer into an application. Because SpatialFX® is 100% Java you can build applications with the confidence that they will run on any system that supports Java. Our toolkit supports development on the full range of client platforms, from thick client desktop applications to thin-client web applications designed for low-bandwidth connections–and anything in between. And with our patented Spatial Server technology, you will be able to run all of your geospatial applications off a single instance of SpatialFX®. This means you can concentrate on the application, not on deployment issues.
SpatialFX® Services
SpatialFX® provides a set of services, supported on a standard platform.
SpatialFX® Server
SpatialFX® can be deployed as a spatial application server, or as Enterprise Java Beans in an application server of your choice. The SpatialFX® Server is a highly scalable spatial application server that enables thousands of users to access SpatialFX® solutions in virtually any client-server, Internet, intranet, extranet and wireless environment.
Visualization
With SpatialFX®, maps are just a starting point. SpatialFX®‘s visualization interface allows users to view and interact with dynamic geospatial and non-geographic images with a full range of navigation tools. A single map may comprise layers of dynamic information from multiple sources. Map objects can move and dynamically change symbols or colors to reflect up-to-the-minute conditions.
Spatial Query
Spatial query is a unique form of search that allows users to filter objects based on geographic attributes, such as within 10 miles of a location, within a region, or on a particular road. Spatial queries can be combined with queries on business or operational data to provide a powerful business analysis, or an integrated spatial and operational view.
Optional Symbology Package for Military and Homeland Security
SpatialFX® directly supports rendering MIL-STD-2525 and Homeland Security symbols. This system is currently in use in multiple fielded programs for geospatial visualization, multi-source intelligence fusion, situation awareness, and command and control. ObjectFX® symbology products can be delivered as components of the SpatialFX® platform or as standalone services for use in 3rd party visualization systems.
