DAta to Image SYstem (DAISY)(NPO-50269-1)

Level 2 data can be visualized with accurate geometry through the use of the DAISY software and the GIBS web services. L2 data geolocation is indexed and instrument viewing geometry is used to generate accurate data footprints per data point in the form of an index image. An index image contains index values in its pixels to associate the corresponding data to the pixel. The index image is used as input to the MRF generation software that is part of GIBS and served out as tiles to clients. Clients that receive the index tiles must also access the source data via a technology such as webification in order to pull out the data at the indices that are in the tile image. This allows science data to be transferred into a client as an "image".
