(1) DOS-based HighView and GUI-based HighView


An updated pricing sheet is available (PDF, size 35Kb), valid after 1 July 2008

HighView is cost-effective. By spending a fraction of the total cost of imagery purchase, one will have access to the state-of-the-art algorithms of image fusion and pan-sharpening, ready to explore the full, rich information content of the recent generation of high-resolution imagery. Regardless of how much spent on imagery purchases, without effective image fusion and pan-sharpening tools one will never be satisfied with the results.

HighView is handy, providing tools that lay a good foundation for image classification and feature extraction. With the customer-proven technology, you can now confidently and conveniently perform image fusion and pan-sharpening by yourself.

HighView is compatible with popular remote sensing and GIS software, including:

ArcGIS	MapInfo
ENVI	Idrisi Kilimanjaro
ERDAS IMAGINE	Intergraph's Image Analyst
PCI	ER Mapper
eCognition	VLS's Feature Analyst
...

GUI-based HighView has two versions:

- General Version 2.5 (without a false-to-true colour simulation module);
- Professional Version 2.5 (with a false-to-true colour simulation module that is specific to the Green/Red/NIR bands of image sources such as SPOT-5 and ASTER)

General Version of GUI-based HighView software can be purchased using credit card through PayPal's secure online payment system:

GUI-based HighView General Version without batch function (i.e., license code: HighView2.5G_Batch0) US $125 GUI-based HighView General Version with max batch run = 30 (i.e., license code: HighView2.5G_Batch30) US $245

(2) RGB Image Stretching Tool - Already included in DOS-based HighView and Spectral Transformer utility programs. For users who are interested in image stretching only, this tool can be purchased separately.

Personal private use (1 seat) US $50 Company business use (1 seat) US $125

(3) Spectral Transformer B742B321 - Easily producing global natural-colour images from pan-sharpened, false-colour Landsat bands 7/4/2 at a spatial resolution of 14.25m in NASA GeoCover series. (For GeoCover 2000 series, there are ~8500 Landsat ETM+ scenes and ~880 mosaics.) This tool is of great potential use since such false-colour images are now available in the public domain. The software can be licensed separately or as an add-on of HighView software. Customers interested in heavy use of GeoCover Landsat data series at a global/regional level will benefit most. Pleasecontact us for licensing and a trial version.

(4) Spectral Transformer Fc2Tc-CIR - Easily producing natural-colour composite from colour infrared (CIR) imagery such as SPOT-5 or ASTER's false-colour NIR/Red/Green input. Similar to Spectral Transformer B742B321, this standalone, high-performance utility programcan be licensed separately.

HighView, Spectral Transformer B742B321 and Spectral Transformer Fc2Tc-CIR can be licensed in bundle at a significant discount.

Data products & image processing services

(1) Licensing global satellite imagery GeoCover 2000 Landsat 7/4/2 simulated in natural colour - "Earth Land Surface 2000" - to feed image servers and to start using large imagery mosaics in GIS baseline mapping. Promotional licensing fees for the entire global dataset with 883 tiles are:

- US$ 1,500 (i.e., <$2.0 per mosaic tile) for a Company/Agency/University wide license
- US$ 3,000 for an Integrator/Distributor/Internet license

Licensing fees valid since 19 November 2007 include costs for external drives, postage and handling (free shipping).

(2) Processing service with SPOT-5 imagery: Six false-to-true colour simulation methods/templates.

(3) Separate false-to-true colour simulation and post-processing service with Landsat ETM+ GeoCover imagery series. For this service, customers are required to provide original, uncompressed input scenes, which may be purchased through USGS. Processing items are detailed below:

	Processing items
All scenes
	Pan-sharpening any three multispectral bands resampled by nearest neighbour method (e.g., 3/2/1 or 5/3/2, spatial resolution 28.5 m); output spatial resolution 14.25 m; noises reduction operators will apply if necessary.
	Pan-sharpening six multispectral bands resampled by nearest neighbour method (1,2,3,4,5 & 7, spatial resolution 28.5 m); output spatial resolution 14.25 m; noises reduction operators will apply if necessary.
	Simulating high-quality natural-colour composite from pan-sharpened bands 7/4/2 (with cubic convolution resampling and spatial resolution 14.25 m); with or without green-colour enhancement. (*) More examples: San Diego / Miami / Oslo
All mosaic tiles
	Simulating high-quality natural-colour composite from UTM mosaic tiles (pan-sharpened bands 7/4/2 with cubic convolution resampling and spatial resolution 14.25 m); with or without green-colour enhancement. (*)
Global mosaic
	Simulating high-quality natural-colour composite from UTM mosaic tiles (pan-sharpened bands 7/4/2 with cubic convolution resampling and spatial resolution 14.25 m), plus the production of a global mosaic.

(*) Processing service for a small number of individual scenes/tiles is also available.
Spectral Transformer B742B321 will be used.
