For efficient retrieval and display of Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) imagery, a tiled-based approach is presented. By preprocessing the data into persistent image tiles, the presented method can minimize or eliminate image processing steps during the retrieval process. Tile-based approaches define constant image sizes and scales for geographic regions, therefore tiles can be pregenerated and stored in a format needed for transmission to users. This greatly improves the performance of ...
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is the corporate laboratory for the United States Navy. Part of the mission of NRL is to provide broadly based applied research and advanced technology development programs in response to identified and anticipated Navy and Marine Corps needs. Advancing the state-of-the-art in scientific computation is important in both applied research and technology development. In this article, we relate current computational trends in naval technologies as ...
