Dear Space Science Research Leaders and Users of ENVI+IDL,
I am submitting this post to bring you up to date on several recent
developments that should interest you. As you may, or may not be
aware, our ENVI+IDL Sales Engineer team has been supporting the Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE instrument from a down-stream, data
delivery and analysis perspective: http://hiroc.lpl.arizona.edu/
Recently there has been additional interest expressed in having ENVI
+IDL support the Cassini mission in a similar, integrated capacity.
For example, we are in discussions about what it would take to support
additional non-earth map projections, specific sensor calibrations/
correction and advanced spatial and spectral analysis. We have
already provided the HiRISE community with what we call the "HiRISE
Toolkit" which includes the following features (see attached for
additional information):
· Custom data input utility for PDS .JP2, PDS .IMG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF
· Support for PDS attached and detached label (*.LBL) files
· Input of Mars map projection metadata
· Interactive PDS metadata viewer
· Automatic band center wavelength & FWHM designation
· Custom cursor location tool that displays both planetocentric and
planetographic coordinates
· Calibration to I/F utility
> From what I understand, both the CRISM and Pancam teams also have
their own toolkits written in IDL for ENVI. My question to the
community is would you find it beneficial for us to "industrialize"
your work and provide a tighter integration into the ENVI+IDL
environment? We can offer standard installers and other ease of use
features so that the "out of box" experience for the community is high
quality. We could also roll in addition features anyone may be
struggling with, etc, etc.
In addition, here is a nice web services demo featuring planetary
science data you can run from Mac OSX (PPC or Intel), or Windows. The
demo uses Java Web Start Technology and Google Mars for base map
navigation. Our IAS Viewer is launched with the HiRISE imagery
pinpointed on the Google base map. The dataset is ~350 Mbytes in size
but instantly streams down using JPIP without overwhelming your local
workspace:
Google Mars for HiRISE (Windows and Mac OS X Supported!). Includes
free IAS JPIP Client.

Our new ENVI Zoom product can also attach itself to the above type of
data stream - either via JPIP, or other standard web services.
Our new InfoNET hosting private HiRISE Code and Information Exchange
Portal:
http://www.ittvis.com/network/index.asp
For account info to join the HiRISE support portal, please let us
know.
We have also set up a new, Public Forum for the Space Science
Community (it's in its infancy, but has potential to allow our team to
better support your teams):

Thanks again to each of you for your interest. We look forward to
hearing from you with feedback.
Best regards,
Paul
