Indiana University Uses IDL & ENVI to Enhance Geology Instruction
Indiana University Uses IDL & ENVI to Enhance Geology Instruction Customer Challenge The Indiana University Department of Geology needed to calibrate instruments and spacecraft, as well as analyze hyperspectral satellite data and extract diagnostic spectral features for the identification and discrimination of minerals and rocks, soil types, vegetation species and the assessment of conditions of these materials. Solution Achieved For instruction of undergraduate students, the department uses ENVI and IDL. The students register for three courses, wherein they use ENVI + IDL to complete their laboratory assignments: Geological Remote Sensing, Planetary Remote Sensing, and Planetary Geology. The department of Geology, IUPUI, uses ENVI to calibrate spacecraft, satellite and airborne hype
