COMPUTER PROCESSING OF REMOTELY-SENSED IMAGES

The MIPS software runs under the Windows operating system. It has been tested on Windows 98 and Windows XP. MIPS is a full Windows menu-driven application. The functions associated with each menu item are:

FILE MENU:

Import image files with the following formats: AVIRIS, ASCII, VEGETATION (HDF), ASTER (HDF), TIFF, GeoTIFF, Bitmap, Environment Agency Lidar, ESA format Landsat TM, Fast L7A, SPOT, ERS SAR, Generic binary.
Export image files with the following formats: raw, Bitmap, TIFF.
Operations on INF files: Edit, create ENVI HDR file.
Operations on image files: Create custom BSQfile, Convert to BSQ.
Print image

ENHANCE MENU

Linear contrast stretch , Histogram equalisation, Gaussian stretch, HSI to RGB, Decorrelation stretch, Pseudocolour and Density slice.
