IMAGE PROCESSING

Image processing software allows the computer to display reflected radiation and radar of wavelengths that are outside the realm of human vision in shades of blue, green and red, our visible spectrum. The more powerful programs can perform correlations between bands, several types of classification schemes, and numerous other functions.

Image Processing Software (downloads)

MultiSpec http://dynamo.ecn.purdue.edu/~biehl/MultiSpec/Index.html Developed at Purdue University, available for free download, used by elementary, middle and high school students in the GLOBE Program NIH Image http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image Software developed by the National Institute of Health, used by the CIPE and IPT Projects at the University of Arizona and theCommunity Colleges for Innovative Technology Transfer (CCITT) (download for free) TNTlite http://www.microimages.com/tntlite Available for free download (many large files, plus manuals) or on CD-ROM with manuals for a nominal fee. Same as the $4K powerful commercial version of TNTmips, only limits image size to 512 lines and columns (pixels)
