MicroMSI

MicroMSI for Windows is a remote sensing imagery analysis program designed for use in introductory courses in remote sensing, developed by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. MicroMSI for Windows is a "public domain program and can be freely redistributed for non-commercial purposes", after modern terminology freeware.

These pages have been made available to enhance the support services for the MicroMSI user community. A number of resources are provided here to help you resolve problems, report bugs, and suggest improvements to MicroMSI products and services.

MicroMSI for Windows updates the original DOS-based version with a full 32-bit Windows implementation.

Documentation is supplied in the extensive help file which serves as a reference to MicroMSI features and commands, but also provides a multi-spectral image processing tutorial as student exercises.

Features

 * multiple display windows (up to 10) simultaneously
 * band-ratioed, band-differenced, thermal, multiband (including derived panchromatic), NDVI, unsupervised classification, spectral classification and stereo anaglyph displays added to the gray-level, multiband (pseudo-color only) and supervised classification displays of MicroMSI for DOS
 * principal component analysis
 * context-sensitive help
 * help exercises covering all of the major functions of the program
 * full support of any Windows output device (e.g., color printers) at any size up to E-size
 * an image importing/indexing "wizard" that simplifies the process of accessing your data
 * MicroMSI images can be cut to the clipboard and pasted into other Window applications
 * MicroMSI images can be saved as bitmaps
 * grid, north arrow and symbols added as overlay options to captions (which now can be any Windows font, size and rotation)
 * support for BIL (band interleaved by line files) and BSQ (band sequential in one file) added to the individual band sequential files supported by the earlier version; all formats can be 8-16 bits per pixel including swapped word order
 * redesign of the data file access system to allow access to hyperspectral data up to 256 bands
 * a new index file format
 * provides room for future features
 * old format index files can be used but updating them via the Index Wizard is recommended to add new capabilities
 * the Help exercise, Update Index, leads you through the conversion process
 * many, many improvements to the user-interface
