McIDAS-eXplorer
|
This program is an extension of
McIDAS
(the Man Computer Interactive Data Access System), an environment for
analyzing weather data. The objective of McIDAS-eXplorer is to bring
to the planetary community the tools that the terrestrial
meteorological community has been using to analyze weather data and
model output. (Available through the Space Science and
Engineering Center at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.)

NIH-IMAGE
|
Freely available image display program for
Macintoshes. A PDS format "plug-in" is available in
/plug-ins/Voyager_PDS12.cpt.hqx which enables viewers to read PDS
formatted Voyager, Viking, and Magellan images.

A toolkit
of image conversion utilities developed by Jef Poskanzer for UNIX
(pbmplus10dec91.tar.Z). The source code was ported to MS-DOS
by Mike Castle (pbmp191d.zip).

VICAR
|
Video Image Communication and Retrieval, is a
general purpose image processing package developed to digitally
process multi-dimensional imaging data. VICAR is available for use by
science investigators who are NASA funded.

WebWinds |
An interactive science data visualization system which is written
in Java and is available for all major computer platforms. The user
interface uses a direct manipulation approach in that it employs
continuous representation of displays and controls requiring physical
actions rather than complex syntax. The benefits of this approach are
that it allows rapid response to operations with immediately visible
effects. Currently, the main features of WebWinds are:
- The ability to present and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional
data in a variety of 1 and 2 dimensional display tools
- The ability to subset and subsample data on input or display
output, making it possible to handle very large data sets.
- Simultaneous display and analysis of multiple data sets which may
be totally unrelated.
- Interactive color manipulation.
- The ability to act as a Web browser helper application, making it
possible to survey scientific data archives in interactive mode.

xv
|
This is an ftp site through which the shareware image display
program "xv" can be obtained. The latest version of this is capable
of reading PDS formatted images. (The Lunar and Planetary Laboratory
at the University of Arizona has a specially modified version of the
program which can handle many different types of PDS data. It's
available at ftp://pirlftp.lpl.arizona.edu/pub/xv/.
Please note that they only have versions for use on UNIX platforms.)
