Abstract
SOLAP data cubes are a main tool to help on the processing of satellite imagery. This article presents the work developed for adapting an existing SOLAP Data Cube to the current Colombian Protocol for processing satellite images to analyze deforestation. We studied different technological alternatives to support such protocol and extend the capabilities of the Australian data cube to include the whole analysis process. In this way, it is possible for different institutions to produce and consume information to/from the data cube allowing the standardization of such information. In consequence, an institution can generate new results based on previous information generated for another institution, keeping the associated metadata along the whole process. This paper introduces the defined architecture, a first implementation and the first results obtained by IDEAM, the Colombian official institution responsible for the monitoring of deforestation in the country.
This work has been developed in collaboration with the IDEAM.
