ScanEx R&D Center introduces the new version of ScanMagic v.1.8 software
 |
ScanMagic® v.1.8. – is easy-to-use and powerful software for viewing, analyzing and processing of space images. ScanMagic® software application was designed based on the cutting-edge data processing technology, has a well balanced, operative and intuitive graphical user interface, allows for setting user’s preferences and importing more than 60 generic/GIS/RS image formats, with immediate opening of images regardless of their size and direct access to any raster data formats without data conversion.
|
The software supports exporting to the commercial off-the-shelf GIS and RS packages, including ESRI, ENVI, ERDAS, PCI, ERMAPPER and so on and allows for exporting compressed data formats (e.g. JPEG2000 and ECW).
New ScanMagic v.1.8 features
- The new software version has an option to load new data types and formats enabling to perform a complete cycle of data processing inside the software: geo-reference, radiometric and geometric corrections, etc. Import of images of different processing levels is added (fig.1): RADARSAT (CEOS L1), EROS (EROS L0, EROS L1A, EROS L1B), SPOT-2/4 (SEGMENT L0, SPOT DIMAP), IRS-P6 (FAST FORMAT, SUPER STRUCTURED), LANDSAT-5 (STREAM L0).
- Support of importing the popular MrSID format with data wavelet. MrSID (Multiresolution Seamless Image Database) format enables to get the best image compression quality. For example, ortho-rectified mosaics of the entire images of LANDSAT 4, 5, 7 systems are stored using this popular format.
- Easy and quick conversion of different values from one presentation (units of measurement) into another - dates/time, arc values, distances, geographical coordinates, color components, Sun position for the user-defined geographical location at the specified time - using Converting Tools.
- A new user-friendly tool Coordinates Converter is created in the program to recalculate coordinates from one map projection into another.
Coordinates Converter enables to do the following:
- projection parameters import/export;
- recalculate separate coordinates or a list of coordinates, open a list from a file, save conversion results to file;
- define different projections using logical and simple list of diverse parameters;
- view specific projection parameters in standard PROJ4 and WKT formats, support to EPSG coordinate system;
- user-defined projection settings and many more.
- New functional segments are added to the program:
- Profile: enables to draw the scalable pixel profile lines (fig.2);
- Numeric value: the tool of channel-by-channel analysis of profile lines for the selected pixel and its neighbors by copying the table of selected brightness counts into the clipboard (fig. 3);
- Scattergram: scattergram generation (2D histograms) with their 3D visualization for in-depth analysis of the raster properties (fig. 4). Helps to visually analyze the conformity of different spectral bands in combination and to detect objects on the image.
- Image visualization tools are enhanced. Besides standard Grayscale and RGB modes, Index Color image presentations are added with an option to edit the color table (fig. 5).
- Ground control point selection mechanism is improved: in the new version, GCPs can be set not only within the limits of one window. In particular, a coordinate system of a simple raster image can be specified using a geo-referenced image.
- A new option is introduced to cut and paste an image fragment with initial set of channels into a new window for further processing as a new image.
- A new possibility to sort out the image list by random attributes in File Manager.
- Image printing capabilities are extended – an image with overlaid vector maps can be printed out.
Delivery and training
The software is supplied with new hardware keys with a USB interface.
User’s guide is updated and tutorials are prepared for a more detailed study of the software product.
Free ScanMagic Lite demo version is available at ScanEx’s web-site:
