Abstract: A technique of managing geospatial data includes receiving, by a SaaS (Software as a Service) application hosted from a server, a search query from a client, the search query specifying a geographical range. In response to receiving the search query, the technique further includes identifying multiple search results corresponding to the specified geographical range, the search results including a set of still images of the specified geographical range, a set of full-motion videos of the specified geographical range, and a set of GIS (Geographical Information System) data that pertains to the specified geographical range. In response to a request from the client, the technique further includes storing at least some of the search results in a workspace of the SaaS application, the workspace shared among multiple users of the SaaS application and enabling online collaboration among the users to accomplish geospatial exploitation workflows that fuse multiple data sources.

Abstract: A mechanism for gathering information from one or more detectors to aid in a determination of a current location of one or more entities is provided. Embodiments of the present invention perform these tasks by plotting data provided by the detectors onto a grid corresponding to a geographical area monitored by the detectors and then analyzing the plot for overlapping results using graphical techniques. Where measurements overlap, data associated with those measurements is provided to an analysis module to predict location and velocity of the entities. Aspects of the present invention provide an initial prediction of location and/or velocity of an entity in order to reduce convergence time of the analysis module.
