1.20 GeoRaster Support in Spatial Studio and Map Visualization Component
You can work with GeoRaster data in both Oracle Spatial Studio and Spatial Map Visualization Component.
Spatial Studio is a free tool that lets you visualize, explore, and analyze geospatial data stored and managed by Oracle Spatial. It also supports GeoRaster data and therefore you can use Spatial Studio to visualize and process vector and raster data together.
The Spatial Map Visualization Component (formerly known as MapViewer) is a programmable tool for rendering maps using spatial data managed by Oracle Spatial. It fully supports GeoRaster data types and is the web-based mapping and visualization application platform for GeoRaster.
The Map Visualization Component allows you to define GeoRaster themes (based on an individual GeoRaster object) and GeoRaster virtual mosaic themes (based on a collection of GeoRaster objects). You can use the Map Builder tool to define GeoRaster themes and virtual mosaic themes, and to specify image processing operations and rendering styles.
The Map Visualization Component also has a map tile server, which is a map image caching engine that fetches, caches, and serves pregenerated, fixed-size map image tiles. You can leverage it to cache GeoRaster images in the middle tier to speed up applications.
