IRAF (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility) from the National Optical Astronomy Observatories. "IRAF is a general purpose software system for the reduction and analysis of scientific data. The IRAF system provides a standard set of programs for general image processing and graphics, plus an extensive selection of programs for the reduction and analysis of astronomical data. In addition, the IRAF system is highly extensible." It is anonymously ftpable from iraf.noao.edu (140.252.1.1). The second package is the commercial package EASI/PACE from PCI Inc, 50 West Wilmot St, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada L4B 1M5, (416) 764-0614. It's focus is on remote sensed images of the earth. The base system is the user interface and the core image analysis programs. Addition modules that are purchased separately include: Image Analysis Kernel, Mulispectral Analysis, Geometric Correction, Geographic Applications, Terrain Analysis, Vector Digitization, Vector Edit, Tape I/O, Color Hardcopy, Frequency Transforms, Programmers Toolbox, Software Link Packagess and Radar Analysis Packages. -- Craig Kunitani kunitani@corp.sgi.com Silicon Graphics Computer Systems (415) 335-1758 -- Craig Kunitani kunitani@corp.sgi.com Silicon Graphics Computer Systems (415) 335-1758
