Tuesday July 21, 2026 4:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
This session offers a practical, end‑to‑end demonstration of the National Image Management System (NIMS) and the Hydrologic Imagery Visualization and Information System (HIVIS) web application. We will begin by walking through how camera stations are added, edited, and managed within the NIMS Admin Console, highlighting tools for configuration, metadata editing, and system monitoring. The demo then transitions to the HIVIS front‑end application, where we will showcase recent interface updates, new visualization capabilities, and streamlined workflows for viewing and interrogating hydrologic image data. Participants will also be introduced to the broader NIMS API and the pyNIMS Python module, with examples of how these resources enable programmatic access for analysis, automation, and integration with other tools. The session concludes with a brief look at features planned for release this year—including advancements in the AAA process and other workflow enhancements—to give users a clear view of what’s coming next.
