MULTISPEC
The WIN subdirectory contains CO-PROC and NO-CO subdirectories as well
as a DOC subdirectory. The program in the CO-PROC subdirectory is
designedto run on a 386 or higher with a math coprocessor. The
program in the NO-CO subdirectory will run on any 386 or higher
system.
The DOC subdirectory contains documentation and sample files. The
docuentation is in Microsoft Word for Windows and Acrobat format. The
Microsoft Word file contains the sample images while the Acrobat file
does not.
The MAC subdirectory contains FAT and THIN subdirectories as well
as a DOC subdirectory. The program in the FAT subdirectory is
the standard version that will run in native mode on PowerPC based
Macintoshes and for 680x0 based Macintoshes having a Motorola 68881 or
68882 math coprocessor. This version takes full advantage of the speed
of the PowerPC and 68881/2 coprocessor chips.
The program in the THIN subdirectory is a special version for 680x0
based machines which do not have a 68881 or 68882 math coprocessor;
this version will also run on the PowerPC in emulated mode.
The DOC subdirectory contains documentation and sample files. The
docuentation is in Microsoft Word for MAC and Acrobat format. The
Microsoft Word file contains the sample images while the Acrobat file
does not.
MultiSpec is being developed at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN,
by David Landgrebe and Larry Biehl from the School of Electrical and
Computer Engineering and LARS. For updated information, go to the
Internet adddress:

MultiSpec results from an on-going multiyear research effort which is
intended to define robust and fundamentally based technology for
analyzing multispectral and hyperspectral image data, and to transfer
this technology to the user community in as rapid a manner as
possible.
MultiSpec is a processing system for interactively analyzing
multispectral image data. The most complete system is implemented
under the Apple Macintosh operating system. It will thus operate
satisfactorily on any model of Macintosh. It will also operate on Sun
and HP workstations equipped with the MAE system available from Apple.
It is intended for multispectral image data, such as that from the
Landsat series of Earth Observational Satellites or hyperspectral data
such as from the AVIRIS Imaging Spectrometer. It has also found
significant use in other applications such as multiband medical
imagery and in K-12 and university level educational activities. There
are currently in excess of 1200 known, registered users.
A version which runs under the Microsoft Windows operating system is
under development specifically for the ~E$Globe program~$$. The
Windows version currently contains a subset of the features that are
available in the Macintosh version.
Another approach to running MultiSpec on Intel PCs may be to use a
product called 'Executor' from Abacus Research and Development, Inc.
This product allows some Macintosh applications to run on Intel PC
platforms.
DOCUMENTATION
An introduction to MultiSpec - 2.15.95
This document provides a basic tutorial on how to use many of the
MultiSpec capabilities, how to ingest data into MultiSpec, and a
reference section which explains the function of each item of each
menu.
References are also given to the scientific literature where details
of the algorithms used in MultiSpec can be found. This document is
considered mandatory for any user of MultiSpec.
Note that this document was written for the Macintosh version of
MultiSpec. The capabilities that currently exist in the Windows
version contain dialog boxes that are similar to those for the
Macintosh version.
This document should at least help until a Windows version of the
Intoduction is available.
