End User Licence Agreement for HighView

- DOS-based HighView (Fuse.exe)	Download (Zip, size 518Kb)

2. GUI-based HighView (still available, Version 2.5.3)

GUI-based HighView is Windows-based, compatible with all recent Windows operation systems such as Windows XP. It is easy-to-use, and users can get to know its functions within minutes. To obtain the trial version, here are three easy steps to follow:

Step 1: After you accept the license agreement, you can start to download a zipped file containing the software(size ~1.0 MB).
Step 2: Use WinZip to unpack the downloaded file, and extract a single setup program "setup.exe" to a temporary folder (e.g., C:\tmp\).
Step 3: Double click "setup.exe" to install GUI-based HighView.

The free trial version of GUI-based HighView is fully functional for band combination of 8- or 16-bit satellite imagery (e.g., global orthorectified Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery available at USGS GloVis and the Global Land Cover Facility, ASTER, SPOT, QuickBird and IKONOS), having no limitation on image size and output format. Stretched output in 24-bit BMP format and/or unstretched output in native GeoTIFF format can be readily used as base maps or backdrops in major GIS software, such as MapInfo and ArcGIS. Various options of linear and nonlinear stretches are allowed during the band combination.

The free trial version of GUI-based HighView has no expiry date.

For other modules, the trial version has the following limitations:

• Pan-sharpening with local & global optimisation methods: The maximum size of input images is 32768*32768 pixels. Outputs will be limited to 24-bit BMPs only and watermarked with white stripes.
• Maximum number of scenes to be processed in a batch mode is 1.
• Maximum size of input images for quantitative assessment modules is 128*128 pixels.
• False-to-true colour simulation for G/R/NIR input is disabled.
