ScanMagic v. 2.5 software for LINUX

22 January 2008, 11:27am

ScanEx R&D Center announces the issue of the special version of the popular ScanMagic v. 2.5 software for visualization, analysis and processing of remote sensing data compatible with LINUX operating system.

Now LINUX users have access to the initial set of ScanMagic software functions: data visualization and analysis, georeferencing, geometric correction, creation of mosaics, operations with vector layers, etc. The new ScanMagic v.2.5 version for LINUX the basic features were amended and expanded by the possibility of building scattergrams, pixel profile lines analysis, image segmentation, conversion of raster and vector files of different formats, and by many other useful tools.

More details about the new features.

Building scattegrams and two-dimensional image histograms with 3D visualization feature is aimed at in-depth analysis of the raster properties, in particular for analysis and detection and objects properties on the image (see illustration).

For brightness analysis of an image the software has a tool of building a scalable pixel profile line and a special toolkit for channel-by-channel analysis of intensity values for the selected image pixel and its neighborhood with the option to copy the table of selected values into clipboard.

Image segmentation algorithm is based on the analysis of image spectral properties. Segmentation is done on the user-defined number of breakdown classes, depending on the image maximum number of allowable breakdown classes for a certain plot is defined automatically.

Vector and raster files conversion function enables to convert them from one type into the other, to change names and to re-project vector maps and raster files into a wide range of available projections, to cut out a fragment from a file based on specified coordinates and many more.

Software familiarization

Lite-version of software, not time-limited but without the saving options is now available at ScanEx’s website. We will be glad to see you at our ScanMagic® v.2.5 software training courses that are carried out based on unique tutorials. Much attention at the courses is drawn to general issues of remote sensing (basic principles of image creation and calibration, comparison of using algorithms of geometric correction, enhancements and thematic interpretation), as well as to practical applications of RS data. Please send your application requests to take our training courses to course@scanex.ru.
