Software

Geographic Information Systems
Geographic Information Systems or GIS is a computer system for the purpose of map making. Using a variety of software such as ArcView®, it layers information on a specific location. The data needed for these layers must have known coordinates, gathered using a GPS unit. There are additional tools accessible within the system used to manipulate data or gather the information that is needed, as well as position this data on topographic maps or digitized aerial photographs. There are countless uses for GIS from environmental uses to business proposals.

Researcher
The Researcher is used for high-end power line inspection and other radiometric research work. The Researcher gathers digital images. The final images are displayed by the Reporter software.

Video Studio
Video Studio allows the user to capture images from a variety of different sources and saves time when downloading the images onto the computer. It then allows editing and sharing images in a variety of ways.

GAIA                                                                                                   Geoprocessing  of Aerial Image Acquisitions (GAIA) is designed by HAI specifications.  It was developed by RSI and interfaced by RMS.  This acts as the georectification software, outputting GIS results.

ENVI
ENVI is one of the most advanced and user-friendly software for remote sensing. The software includes advanced hyperspectral image analysis, extensive image and vector format support, and many other qualities. ENVI includes a fully-accessible underlying language, which allows you to expand it's features or create your own.

HyDaPS
The Hyperspectral Data Processing System (HyDaPS) is an integrated environment for highly-automated hyperspectral data processing. HyDaPS supports the radiometric calibration as well as it's conversion to reflectance. To support sensors with two-dimensional focal planes such as the AISA Eagle 1K, HyDaPS also performs spectral calibration where each band's center wavelength is measured acrossed the entire focal point. By closing linking the radiometric and spectral calibration processes with the atmospheric compensation to reflectance, HyDaPS is able to reduce systematic errors and produce superior reflectance data. HyDaPS also supports the ingest of laboratory calibration data through a series of administrative functions.

The GBC-Transform
The GBC-Transform is a software system geared toward the analysis of vegetation and vegetation-like spectra (e.g. camouflage). This system is based upon a unique hyperspectral data transform (the general biochemical transform) which maps reflectance spectra into a subspace of greatly-reduced dimensionality and complexity. The GBC-Transform software system supports the transformation of hyperspectral data, it's normalization, the definition of vegetation filters, as well as the definition of individual classes for downstream analysis. With these functions, The GBC-Transform offers highly-automated classification of vegetation species and the measurement of health status within any individual species.

CaliGeo
The software is designed to turn raw hyperspectral data quickly and  easily into usable information. This is done through a three-step process consisting of first radiometric corrections, second rectification, and finally geo-referencing. The information is then sent through ENVI and HyDaPS for analysis.  Rarely used by HAI.
