CLEMDCMP/CLIMDISP (Clementine Image Decompression Software)
CLEMDCMP, an image decompression program, requires a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and may take several minutes to decompress an image on hardware platforms with slow processors. For example, in tests on a Macintosh IIci, the decompression takes approximately 4 minutes. CLEMDCMP has been tested on hardware platforms with modern processors, such as an Intel 486DX2/66-Mhz, and the decompression takes just several seconds. CLIMDISP is an image display and processing program. It can be used to display Clementine uncompressed images and histograms but currently can not create GIF formatted files.
Davinci
Arizona State University (ASU) software for processing THEMIS data. Davinci is an interpreted language that looks and feels a lot like C, but has additional vector oriented features that make working with blocks of data a lot easier. This makes daVinci well suited for use as a data processing tool, allowing symbolic and mathematical manipulation of hyperspectral data for imaging spectroscopy applications.
Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS)
The ISIS Workshop is a collection of tutorials designed to lead students from learning the basics to developing advanced skills in image processing with Isis. Many of the tutorials have interactive exercises where you can visualize what is being described, and some have links to data you can download and practice using in Isis 3. The focus of the software is to manipulate imagery collected by current and past NASA planetary missions sent to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and other solar system bodies. The Isis Workshop includes collections for working with data from MRO HiRISE, MRO CTX, MGS MOC, and Viking Orbiter.
JMARS (Java Mission-planning and Analysis for Remote Sensing)
A Java-based geospatial information system developed by the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University. It is currently used for mission planning and scientific data analysis by several NASA missions, including Mars Odyssey, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the up-coming Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Marsoweb
An interactive map that allows users to display TES, MOLA, MOC, geology and mineralogy on a Viking basemap. Users can create customized cross sections and elevation profiles. Java-based MOC image processing.
NASAView
NASAView is a PDS archive product display program that runs on multiple platforms in a GUI environment. These products include images (including multi_spectrum images), tables (including those with bit columns and containers), cubes, and text documents. Images may be stretched, inverted, and displayed in a number of palettes: Greyscale, Red-Orange, Blue-Gray, Prism, Topo, Ramp, and Contour. Histograms are available for images and some cubes. Backplane data may be displayed for some cubes. Download available for PC, Linux and Solaris.
PIGWAD (USGS Planetary GIS Web Server) A web-based, user-friendly interface for Mars, the Moon, Venus, Callisto, Europa, and Io aimed at the planetary research community that will support Geographic Information Systems (GIS) graphical, statistical, and spatial tools for analyses of planetary data, including the distribution of planetary GIS tutorials, tools, programs, and information; create planetary GIS databases consisting of peer-reviewed digital geologic maps, feature maps, topography, and remote-sensing data under the scientific oversight of the NASA Geologic Mapping Subcommittee (GEMS); and support and encourage the use of GIS in planetary research including geospatial open standards.
SPICE Toolkit Software
Web Interface to locate and download 2001 Mars Odyssey SPICE files delivered to the PDS; allows users to access SPICE kernel files. The principal element of the Toolkit is a subroutine library, which the customer integrates into his/her application to read SPICE kernels and compute derived quantities.
THEMIS Web-based Processing Interface (THMPROC)
THMPROC is a web-based processing system provided by the THEMIS Data Node at Arizona State University (ASU) that allows users to log on and submit processing requests for creating THEMIS data products. The processing occurs remotely at ASU and users must first register for a free username and password. Map-projected output images include emissivity, temperature, and radiance data and a variety of stretches may be used. Register at http://thmproc.mars.asu.edu/
Voyager CD-ROM Software
This software (also provided on the Voyager CD-ROMs) is necessary to decompress the Voyager images. The programs provided can convert the images to FITS, VICAR2, PDS, and raw formats.
