Dear OSGeo community,
I have seen several times, as you have probably done many more than myself,
that there are projects-to-apply for, which, simply put, are profiling specific
Geospatial and Remote Sensing capable applications.
An example _was_ an open international call for a project concerning "(Early)
Warning and Mitigating of (Forest) Fires" in Greece [1].
For example, among the obligatory points to be fulfilled by a geospatial
toolbox, as asked in this specific tender, there is one about "integrated
spectral librairies".
This is clearly profiling, if I am not wrong, the ERDAS Imagine commercial and
proprietary software. From ERDAS' manual "Spectral Analysis" [1], section
"Spectrum Libraries":
"...efforts have been
made over the past decade to compile databases, termed Spectral
Libraries, of the spectra of known materials (Clark et al. 1993b)."
and
sub-section "Archive Libraries":
"Several such Spectrum Libraries are included in the IMAGINE
Spectral Analysis software package. "
and
"...The USGS and JPL mineral libraries (Grove et al. 1992)...", "...Johns
Hopkins spectrum libraries
(dominantly mid-infrared wavelengths)...", "...the SPECMIN Spectrum Library
series of minerals and geologic materials..."
and more.
(
let aside the fact that I question myself who exactly in the Fire Fighting
Service will use such a feature (except of advanced analysts in rare
occasions?) and for what reason exactly -- active fire detection, burned area
mapping etc., will not suffer from the absence of such a feature!
)
the question is:
is there any GFOSS that integrates or can access easily such libraries --
thinking from an end-user perspective?
Thank you, Nikos
