Description
Summary:Remotely sensed digital image data represented by Landsat MSS data are becoming a useful addition to conventional sources for a wide range ecological environments as well as conventional data sources. However, just the results of the analyzed data and its display are not always sufficient for putting them into practical use. In order to investigate a regional ecological environment from various viewpoints on the spot, the conventional data ought to be considered as well as the remotely sensed digital image data. An interactive image processing system was developed for this purpose. In this paper the development of Hiroshima Image Processing System (HIPS) is described. HIPS consists of the hardware of microcomputers and peripheral I/O devices for image data processing and the software for interactively processing remotely sensed image data and other ecological data. HIPS was designed and manufactured on an experimental basis within limited research expense, aiming not only to contribute to education and research of remote sensing in the institute, but also to perform further research in various fields.
