1. Services provided 

OMApp is cloud application for automatic image mosaicking and georeferencing. The application is designed to support several users, whereby every user is able to upload a set of captured images via a web interface, begin their processing and make an overview of already created maps. The user also has the ability to download the maps in standard GeoTiff format and use them in one of the existing GIS tools. The service uses numerous open source image processing tools and libraries, where the most computationally demanding among them are able to perform multi-core parallel processing, which provides a better usage of the cloud resources.
