APRIL 17--Indigo Systems (Goleta, CA;www.indigosystems.com) has introduced RTools, a software suite developed for research engineers and scientists. The software toolkit can acquire, radiometrically calibrate, process, analyze, and archive data from digital infrared (IR) imaging systems. While coupled with an Indigo high-end focal-plane-array camera, it suits imaging applications that require accurate radiometric quantities of static or dynamic phenomenon.
R-Tools software kit also can realize spatial, temporal, and spectral radiometric data in units of absolute or contrast radiance, irradiance, radiant intensity, and temperature. Several stand-alone modules included in the software kit are compatible with the US Air Force's Standard Archive Format (SAF).
The RDac module is a real-time data-acquisition program for image capture, viewing, analysis, storage, and radiometric output. The RCal module works in tandem with the RDac module and the SAF image file format to radiometrically calibrate IR cameras in units of radiance, irradiance, radiant intensity, and temperature. The Rview module is used for in-depth radiometric image viewing, analysis, and report generation and is compatible with both IR imager and hyperspectral imager SAF files. The REdit utility provides individual and batch-mode capabilities to modify and archive ancillary measurement data on one or more image files during a single image-processing session.
