Importing

  • Importing of HRPT, CHRPT and SeaWiFS data ingested using the Dartcom HRPT/CHRPT Grabber software.
  • Importing of HRPT data in Dundee standard raw format.

Sub-sampling

  • Sub-sampling of HRPT, CHRPT, SeaWiFS, AHRPT and DMSP data as calibrated, navigated iDAP image documents.
  • Selection of an area to sub-sample with latitude/longitude read-outs to assist.
  • Sub-sample factor variable between 1:1 and 1:32.
  • Automatic or manual 8-bit reduction parameters with statistical analysis graphs and calibrated read-outs to assist.
  • Image enhancement with adjustable profile.
  • Creation of map overlays and grid lines.
  • Repair of missing image data if required.
  • Full-resolution display of sub-sampled images.
  • Overlay nudge facility to correct navigation errors.

Image processing

  • Generation of numerical products and textual classifications from sub-sampled images, such as MCSST (McClain Sea Surface Temperature) and NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) with adjustable palette settings and user-defined formulæ.
  • Blue Marble and DEM masking facilities to exclude unwanted areas (such as land or sea).
  • Editing of calibration constants with import and export facilities.

Exporting

  • Exporting of raw HRPT, CHRPT, SeaWiFS, AHRPT and DMSP data to PCI Geomatica, ERDAS IMAGINE and ENVI/IDL images reprojected to standard map projections with solar zenith and azimuth angle, nadir to pixel angle and satellite inclination for each pixel.
  • Exporting of raw HRPT data to NOAA level 1B format with full support for versions 1, 2 and 3.
  • Exporting of raw HRPT and CHRPT data to third-party formats including standard raw and HRPT level 0.
  • Exporting of ancillary HRPT data including TIP and DCS.
  • Exporting of SeaWiFS data to SeaWiFS level 0 format for use with the SeaShark processing software.
