About ArkansasView

ArkansasView is striving to develop a strong consortium dedicated to advancing the availability, timely distribution, and widespread use of remote sensing data and technology. We propose an aggressive agenda for realizing AmericaView and ArkansasView goals through education, research, outreach, and sustainable technology transfer to the public and other non-profit organizations.

ArkansasView, in cooperation with data providers, is working to expand the number of available sensor data sets in GIS-ready, COTS formats and make them available to public agencies, educational institutions, and commercial entities in our state, and it is our goal to make that information easier for users to obtain. ArkansasView is working with data providers, software and hardware vendors, the Open GIS Consortium and others to establish a national infrastructure for data flow that will: 1) provide efficient storage, access, and real-time data delivery mechanisms, and 2) enable cost-effective and timely distribution of data and data products.

ArkansasView has a proven record in, and a strong commitment to, the development of the technical means for rapid distribution of multiple instrument data and mid-range information products that will build consumer demand for remote sensing products.

The goals of ArkansasView are:

To broaden the remote sensing data user community in Arkansas by providing useful and inexpensive remote sensing data and data products to the Arkansas View consortium and to anyone with internet access.

To transfer remote sensing technology to educational institutions at all levels, state agencies, and the private sector in Arkansas.

To create and maintain effective public education and outreach programs promoting the benefits gained through the use of remote sensing technologies.

To provide near-real-time data and data products to a broad user community on an easy-to-use web interface and implement, as much as possible, fully automated RS data processing.
