Description:A method for the mass distribution of satellite images is described in detail. This method involves the establishment of a central distribution point which can service mnnerous remote users via dial telephone connections. The system design is centered around the IEM Personal Computer with costs maintained as low as possible. The central distribution point receives data from a GOFSTAP line, or a WEFAX signal, compresses the data into viable satellite images and services remote user requests. The remote users dial into the central distribution point and retrieve the data. Once data are retrieved, the remote locations have the ability to display single images, animate a series of images, and manipulate the enhancement curve used to display the image(s). Complete instructions for system duplication are included.
