Analysts Learn New Image Analysis Techniques at the ENVI Rapid Learning Series!

Anonym

Since my last post, the ENVI Rapid Learning Series has become more popular than I thought it would've. We have had some great demonstrations from some of the best technical minds here at Exelis, and the participation has been better than expected! Yesterday we hosted the fifth session in our series, which focused on how ENVI has been developed to support data from the NPP VIIRS sensor. This falls right on the heels of last week's session, which showed just how easy it is to work with Landsat 8 data in ENVI. Other topics we have covered so far include ENVI and ArcGIS® interoperability, using NITF data, and how to use image transformations to explore and gain insight from your data.

One great thing about the series is that it's recorded, so any sessions you might have missed are all available online for your viewing pleasure! Below is a list of topics covered so far..

Week 1 - ENVI and ArcGIS Interoperability Tips

Week 2 - Using NITF Data in ENVI

Week 3 - Image Transformations in ENVI

Week 4 - Working with Landsat 8 Data in ENVI

Week 5 - Working with NPP VIIRS Data in ENVI

Finally, let us know what topics you'd like to see covered on the Learning Series. Our goal is to be able to answer the questions you have about projects that you're working on. So let us know what's on your mind, and we hope to see you at next week's session!

Hello!

I was wondering if you guys could cover the FLAASH and QUAC atmospheric correction models on Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 data.

Thanks,

John O'Donnell

Hi John,

You spoke (or commented) and we listened. The Dec. 18th Rapid Leaning Series will cover FLAASH and QUAC and will be given by one of our best here at VIS. Sign up at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/685537038
