Free Software for Analyzing Aviris Imagery

For much of the past decade, imaging spectrometry has been primarily a research tool. With the recent appearance of commercial airborne hyperspectral imaging systems, and the impending launch of satellite-based sensors, imaging spectrometry is poised to enter the mainstream of remote sensing. As hyperspectral images become commonly available, both applications and users of the imagery will become more diverse. Many more researchers, professionals, and students from different disciplines will require the knowledge and tools to understand and interpret the information in hyperspectral images.
