Application of OpenLayers in marine information monitoring

Abstract

Marine information monitoring plays an important role in solving marine environment and controlling marine ecology. OpenLayers, as an open source development tool for WebGIS client, has the characteristics of small size and powerful function compared with commercial WebGIS software. This paper discusses the application of OpenLayers in ocean information monitoring based on OpenLayers. Firstly, The paper gives a basic overview of OpenLayers, then summarizes its related research, constructs the system framework for ocean information monitoring system and discusses the related key technologies. Finally, it studies the application of ocean information monitoring. From the research point of view, open source OpenLayers performs well, meets the general needs of marine information monitoring, and can significantly reduce development costs.
