HSI Data Visualization and Analysis Tools

Hyperspectral sensing systems collect staggering amounts of data. Until Space Computer Corporation introduced its real-time HSI analysis and visualization tools, researchers and system users typically had to wait hours for sensor data to be processed into understandable, visual formats. Some of SCC’s tools process data during playback at speeds up to 3x real time, with no loss of processing integrity.

GeoPaint^® – graphical user interface for rapid visualization of geo-registered HSI data.

GeoView^TM – graphical user interface for rapid evaluation of targets.

Anomaly Detection –algorithm detects spectra that are anomalous to general background.

Signature Match Detection – algorithm detects spectra that match a predetermined spectrum.

SCC has also developed off-line tools that perform specialized processing of HSI and panchromatic data. Some of these tools are designed to run in batch mode, freeing the user while the large amounts of data are processed into visual images, while other tools are more useful in a continuous data playback environment.

GeoSharpen^TM – batch mode processor; converts raw HSI data into high-resolution geo-registered survey imagery.

GeoReg^TM – batch mode processor; geo-registers HSI or panchromatic data and displays results as viewable imagery.

GeoChange^TM – data stream processor; co-registers overlapping HSI datasets and performs pixel-level spectral difference evaluation to detect changes between the datasets.

Chip on Demand ^TM – algorithm; creates target from user-selected pixel.

FS Process – converts ASCII spectral data into a format useable by SCC's Signature-Match Detection algorithms.
