GeoSage Releases New Version of Image Fusion and Pan-Sharpening Software: Rediscovering High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
Sydney, Australia - 1 July 2008: GeoSage is pleased to announce the release of new version of advanced image fusion and pan-sharpening software: DOS-based HighView (Version 3.0). This latest version is specifically designed to rapidly process a large volume of the recent generation of high-resolution satellite imagery (QuickBird and IKONOS) and the future GeoEye-1 and WorldView-2 imagery.
A fully-functional trial version is available at http://www.geosage.com/. Anyone with QuickBird and IKONOS imagery in GeoTIFF format directly from DigitalGlobe and GeoEye data vendors is invited to evaluate the whole range of image pan-sharpening methods and enhancement options included in the software. With this utility program users now are able to conveniently process full scenes of QuickBird and IKONOS imagery to explore superior fused results.
Features include: - Both local and global image fusion optimization methods - Selection of true- or false-color composite - Two spatial enhancement options – detailed and sharper - Spectral enhancement option to show vegetation greener - Feature enhancement option to highlight urban vegetation in total green based on user-defined NDVI thresholds - Pixel offset adjustment option for both panchromatic and multispectral inputs in X/Y directions - Adaptive image stretching with a hybrid of linear and non-linear image stretching - Low memory usage and very fast in running
Pan-sharpened color composites in popular GeoTIFF format can be readily digested by mainstream GIS software such as ArcGIS and MapInfo and general image manipulation software such as PhotoShop and IrfanView.
The release of this software also comes with another two handy utility programs: RGB Image Stretching Tool and RGB Image Composition Tool. All these can be easily embedded within customer’s image processing workflow and system.
Besides, a fully-functional trial version of GUI-based HighView (Version 2.5.3) is also available for download. It features a free utility of band combination and image stretching with 8- and 16-bit inputs, and is capable of processing full scenes of QuickBird and IKONOS imagery as well.
