A catalog-browse system with quick-look images for SPOT, ERS and RADARSAT data archives

To allow for easy access to CRISP's data archive of SPOT, ERS and RADARSAT, a WWW catalog browse system has been developed. Besides descriptive (meta) data, quicklook images are also available for viewing. The database for the catalog browse system is updated daily and automatically by the system. The system is implemented with: (1) standard HTML fill-out forms for communication between users' browsers and CRISP's Web server, and (2) Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and 'C' programs for communication between CRISP's Web server and CRISP's database.
