Division 500 Geographic processing services – thematic (thematicProcessingService)

This category comprises the following subcategories:

1. 501

   Geoparameter calculation service (thematicGoparameterCalculationService)

   Service to derive application-oriented quantitative results that are not available from the raw data itself.

2. 502

   Thematic classification service (thematicClassificationService)

   Service to classify regions of geographic data based on thematic attributes.

3. 503

   Feature generalisation service (thematicFeatureGeneralizationService)

   Service that generalises feature types in a feature collection to increase the effectiveness of communication by counteracting the undesirable effects of data reduction.

4. 504

   Subsetting service (thematicSubsettingService)

   Service that extracts data from an input based on parameter values.

5. 505

   Spatial counting service (thematicSpatialCountingService)

   Service that counts geographic features.

6. 506

   Change detection service (thematicChangeDetectionService)

   Service to find differences between two data sets that represent the same geographical area at different times.

7. 507

   Geographic information extraction services (thematicGeographicInformationExtractionService)

   Services supporting the extraction of feature and terrain information from remotely sensed and scanned images.

8. 508

   Image processing service (thematicImageProcessingService)

   Service to change the values of thematic attributes of an image using a mathematical function.

9. 509

   Reduced resolution generation service (thematicReducedResolutionGenerationService)

   Service that reduces the resolution of an image.

10. 510

    Image Manipulation Services (thematicImageManipulationService)

    Services for manipulating data values in images: changing colour and contrast values, applying various filters, manipulating image resolution, noise removal, ‘striping’, systematic-radiometric corrections, atmospheric attenuation, changes in scene illumination, etc.

11. 511

    Image understanding services (thematicImageUnderstandingService)

    Services that provide automated image change detection, registered image differencing, significance-of-difference analysis and display, and area-based and model-based differencing.

12. 512

    Image synthesis services (thematicImageSynthesisService)

    Services for creating or transforming images using computer-based spatial models, perspective transformations, and manipulations of image characteristics to improve visibility, sharpen resolution, and/or reduce the effects of cloud cover or haze.

13. 513

    Multiband image manipulation (thematicMultibandImageManipulationService)

    Services that modify an image using the multiple bands of the image.

14. 514

    Service to detect real-world objects in an image.

15. 515

    Geoparsing service (thematicGeoparsingService)

    Service to scan text documents for location-based references, such as a place names, addresses, postal codes, etc., in preparation for passage to a geocoding service.

16. 516

    Geocoding service (thematicGeocodingService)

    Service to augment location-based text references with geographic coordinates (or some other spatial reference).
