Easy and Accessible Imaging Software

About this technology

Overview

DATASTAR, Inc., has taken NASA's award-winning Earth Resources Laboratory Applications (ELAS) software program and evolved it into a user-friendly desktop application and Internet service to perform processing, analysis, and manipulation of remotely sensed imagery data. The company's DATASTAR Image Processing Exploitation (DIPEx) program makes the ELAS program simpler and more accessible to general end users. DIPEx can separate and provide specifics of imagery data, such as data classifications, false color composites, soils, corridor analysis, subsurface vegetation, data enrichment, mosaics, and geographical information systems (GIS). The data generated by DIPEx is compatible with all of the GIS software packages on the market. DATASTAR offers the DIPEx Service Delivery System, a subscription service available over the Internet, to provide normalized geo-spatial data in the form of products. End-users interested in spatial data, such as soil content, rainfall levels, and other variances of topographical information benefit from DIPEx. One of the largest applications of DIPEx data is prescription farming. DIPEx generates data for farm consultants to control field machinery that apply pesticides and water.
