The Spectroscopy Lab has developed a number of software tools and packages that are of general and specific use in remote-sensing imaging and spectroscopic analysis.

icon Specpr, Radtran

SPECtral Processing Routines. Spectral analysis system. Radtran is radiative transfer mineral mixture reflectance computations. (Updated 5/2011)

Clark, R. N., 1980, A large scale interactive one dimensional array processing system: Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 92, p. 221-224.

Clark, R.N., 1993, SPECtrum Processing Routines User's Manual Version 3 (program SPECPR), U.S. Geological Survey, Open File Report 93-595, 210 pages. http://speclab.cr.usgs.gov/specpr.manual/

icon Tetracorder information, papers, and source code.

Tetracorder is our mapping software that analyzes spectra and determines what materials are present. (Updated 1/10/2003)

Clark, R.N., Swayze, G.A., Livo, K.E., Kokaly, R.F., Sutley, S.J., Dalton, J.B., McDougal, R.R., and Gent, C.A., 2003, Imaging spectroscopy: Earth and planetary remote sensing with the USGS Tetracorder and expert systems, Journal of Geophysical Research, Vol. 108(E12), 5131, doi:10.1029/2002JE001847, p. 5-1 to 5-44, December, 2003. http://speclab.cr.usgs.gov/PAPERS/tetracorder

icon PRISM and MICA:

Processing Routines in IDL for Spectroscopic Measurements (PRISM) software.
Kokaly, R.F., 2011, PRISM: Processing routines in IDL for spectroscopic measurements (installation manual and user's guide, version 1.0): U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2011b1155, 432 p., available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2011/1155/.

PRISM is a gui ENVI-like interface for some spectral processing and with MICA some Tetracorder analysis. MICA is not full Tetracorder, nor is PRISM full SPECPR, but both can do some operations in a simple GUI interface.

icon Davinci

A tool for 3-D data set manipulations, with intelligence for analyzing imaging spectroscopy data. See http://davinci.asu.edu/ for the latest code.

icon PicWorks (pw)

PicWorks (pw) Image display, cube spectral extraction, and multiple image overlay package. Pw works on standard X-windows, and has an excellent point and click user interface. It has the most flexible and interactive image stretching we've seen. We use it to create the materials maps shown on this site.

Older Legacy Software

icon P3

A tool to format 24-bit ppm images for output on the HP Paintjet-300xl and the Designjet-650C, 750C. P3 creates HP RTL output, so it will work with any HP RTL compatible printer. Anonymous ftp from ftp://ftpext.cr.usgs.gov/pub/cr/co/denver/speclab/pub/p3

icon spview

MS-DOS spectral library database viewer. Anonymous ftp from ftp://ftpext.cr.usgs.gov/pub/cr/co/denver/speclab/pub/spview

icon Remapp

a simple image processing systems for PC's and Unix systems.
Anonymous ftp pcremapp from ftp://ftpext.cr.usgs.gov/pub/cr/co/denver/speclab/pub/pcremapp
Anonymous ftp remapp for Unix from ftp://ftpext.cr.usgs.gov/pub/cr/co/denver/speclab/pub/remapp.sparc (this is specifically a Sun Sparc version, but should work with most systems with little change.

icon AVIRIS Geometric Correction Software
