Importing

  • Importing of raw HRPT data in Dundee standard, Quorum standard and legacy Dartcom HRPT/CHRPT Grabber formats.
  • Importing of raw AHRPT data in Dundee standard format.
  • Configurable satellites database for raw import.
  • Manual and automatic importing of GeoTIFF images produced by NASA IPOPP and CMA FY3L1pp processing software, with product browser, file naming options and map overlays.

Sub-sampling

  • Sub-sampling of HRPT, AHRPT and DMSP data to produce calibrated, navigated iDAP images.
  • Single plane or multi-plane (false colour) images.
  • Area selection with latitude/longitude read-outs to assist.
  • Automatic or manual 8-bit reduction parameters with statistical analysis, histograms and calibrated read-outs to assist.
  • Image enhancement with adjustable profile.
  • Navigation and creation of map overlays and grid lines.
  • Repair of missing image lines.
  • Overlay nudge facility to correct any minor navigation errors due to out-of-date prediction data or satellite attitude errors.
  • Adjustable satellite swathe angle.
  • Editing of calibration parameters with import and export.

Processing

  • RGB products such as Cloud, Microphysics, blended visible/infra-red and blended False Colour/infra-red.
  • Palette products such as SST, NDSI and NDVI.
  • Reprojection of satellite swathe (as ingested) to map projections such as Mercator and Polar Stereographic, with mosaic facility.

Exporting

  • Exporting of raw and calibrated HRPT, AHRPT and DMSP data to PCI Geomatica, ERDAS IMAGINE, ENVI/IDL and GeoTIFF formats, reprojected and with solar zenith and azimuth, nadir to pixel and satellite inclination layers.
  • Exporting of raw AHRPT data to standard EPS level 0 format, with product filtering.
  • Exporting of raw HRPT data to standard NOAA level 1B format, with packing, byte order and file naming options.
  • Exporting of raw HRPT data to other raw formats including standard raw and HRPT level 0, with header, byte order, and file naming options.
  • Exporting of ancillary HRPT data, including NORAD two-line elements, TBUS data, DCS and TIP, with file naming options.
