Transitioning from Desktop Analytics to the Enterprise > Exelis Visual Information Systems has developed a scalable, enterprise-
level implementation of its ENVI image analysis product
The design of the ENVI Services Engine allows an app developer to build customized applications in a number of different programming languages that leverage the power of ENVI image analysis algorithms for consumption via thin or mobile clients.
Application developer builds customized application, leveraging the power of ENVI image analysis algorithms
The developed services are deployed to a server architecture in the cloud
Results are delivered back from the Engine and can be saved out, utilized in further analysis, or …
displayed in a variety of web, desktop, or mobile clients.
HTTP REST requests are made from middleware to server
ENVI Services Engine executes the application

> Data Input & Output
> HDF5 library updated to provide read-only support for SZIP (v2.1) compression
> Video Read Enhancements
> In previous versions of IDL messages from FFmpeg would be reported as errors and IDLffVideoRead object initialization would fail
> Now in IDL 8.4 if the video file contains any video or audio codecs that are not supported then IDL will quietly ignore these codecs and continue to open the file
> Users can set the new VERBOSE keyword to force IDL to issue informational messages when it encounters any unsupported codecs
> Geospatial PDF Export
> The IDLffGeospatialPDF object provides the ability to save graphical output to a Geospatial PDF file
