Summary:

The project has achieved all of its objectives. Eighteen Landsat 7 ETM images were enhanced to highlight structures with topographic expression. These image products are available for download in several formats and map projections from the MapPlace. An image analysis framework has been added to the Exploration Assistant page of the MapPlace web site to allow basic image analysis processes to be performed on multispectral and hyperspectral images. Twenty Landsat 7 ETM images, five ASTER images and one AVIRIS image have been loaded into the system and are available for analysis. Five general analysis tools are included in this initial version of the site.

This project was designed to test the value and acceptance of providing image products and image analysis tools for use by the exploration community over the Internet. If warranted, additional enhanced Landsat imagery could be produced and added to the system. Addition types of multispectral and hyperspectral imagery can be added to the analysis system as well as additional analysis tools and more complete coverage of existing image types.
