After acquisition of the imagery through satellites there are various Remote Sensing Software which helps in processing the photograph and interpretation of data. Some of the Remote Sensing Software can be downloaded free of cost from the Internet.
Some of the Renowned Remote Sensing Software are:
- ArcView Image Analysis provides enhanced view of the imagery. It helps in fast display and manage data, adds georeference to images, image enhancement, denote feature borders, detects change and performs many other functions. In this Remote Sensing Software digital imagery can also be used for processing.
- ERDAS IMAGINE consists Remote Sensing Software ERDAS IMAGINE @ Add-Ons, Leica GeoVault, ImageEqualizer, ArcView Image Analysis and Image Analysis for ArcGIS. All the Remote Sensing Software can be handled by students as well as professionals.
- ER Mapper is an important Remote Sensing Software which provides services like information about land, offers services related to consultancy, processes the imagery, system integration and works for both public and private organization.
- 3D Mapper Remote Sensing Software is an Australian software which has gain popularity because of its low price and fully featured system. This Remote Sensing Software is basically a Desktop Photogrammetry System operating in Windows 95 and 98.
- Orthoengine Remote Sensing Software does orthorectification of digital satellite imagery and produces District Elevation Model which helps in interpretation of the imageries. This Remote Sensing Software has truly made a mark in the world of Remote Sensing.
- ScanMagic Remote Sensing Software is used for general viewing and used to analyze, interpret and process remote sensing data. It is popular for the simplicity attached to the Remote Sensing Software .
- SmartImage offers integration of data and enables to analyze spatial data. It takes the help of MapInfo or ArcView for rectifying the images acquired through remote sensing techniques. It has another Remote Sensing Software called MapSearch.
- Spatial Analysis of Remote Sensing data (SARS) provides services like image manipulation, computation of various geostatistical algorithms for analyzing the images. SARS falls under Solaris and Linux.
- RADARSAT-1 Stereo Advisor is a helpful Remote Sensing Software which is required for learning if this Remote Sensing Software is used along with Stereo Radar. Images are specified on this Remote Sensing Software .
- LizardTech offers image enhancement, simplification of images, managing images and provides solution with brandwidth optimization.
Free Remote Sensing Software : There are certain Remote Sensing Software which can be downloaded free of cost from the Internet. Some of them are:
- Geomatica Freeview is capable to work with various kind of data and imageries. It provides image enhancement and image analysis.
- GDAL1.1.5 uses geographical data in raster format and provides a data model based on the single abstract data.
- Libqeotiff is a library based Remote Sensing Software and uses TIFF depended interchange format for georeferencing the imagery.
- MB-System processes bathymetry and backscatter imageries obtained from multi beam scanners.
- MITAB uses MapInfo.TAB and .MIF/MID files and is a c++ library.
- PROJ4.4.3 offers transformation of data related to cartography or Cartesian techniques.
Thus the user can choose from a wide range of Remote Sensing Software depending upon the purpose of use.
