GLIDER is a FREE tool to easily visualize, analyze and mine satellite imagery.

  • Full swath display
  • Satellite image calibration
  • Histograms, Scatter plots
  • Spectral profile, Linear transect
  • Image processing algorithms
  • Clustering algorithms

 

 

GLIDER v2.0-beta is now available!

The GLIDER v2.0-beta contains new features and bug fixes:

  • Improved Internal data model based on netCDF (note: version 1b files are no longer compatible and must be recreated)
  • Improved file I/O performance and improved GSF file conversion speed
  • MODIS calibration is now done directly in Java using Java netCDF
  • MODIS calibration is now much faster (about 1-2 minutes)
  • Users can start running the (Image processing and Clustering) algorithms, push it into a background execution mode and continue interacting with the application
  • Status of such background processes can be tracked within a separate view accessible through the menu "Window -> Process Menu Tracker" in the Image View

Minor bug fixes / enhancements:
