MINX is an interactive application written in IDL and compiled into an IDL Virtual Machine (VM) file. It functions both as a general-purpose tool to visualize MISR data and as a specialized tool to analyze properties of smoke, volcanic and dust plumes, especially plume height and velocity. It includes high-level options to create:
- Map views of MISR orbit locations.
- Lists of orbits and map images for MISR overpasses at user-specified locations and times.
- Scrollable, single camera, RGB images of MISR level 1B2 (L1B2) radiance data.
- Animations of the nine MISR camera images that provide a 3D perspective of the scenes that MISR has acquired.
Some of the specialized options in MINX enable the user to:
- Display plots of top-of-atmosphere BRF vs. camera-angle for selected pixels.
- Save images and animations to disk in various formats.
- Apply a geometric registration correction to warp camera images when the standard correction is inadequate.
- Difference the images of two MISR orbits that share a path (identical ground track)
- Construct pseudo-color images by assigning different combinations of MISR cameras to the RGB display channels.
- Interactively digitize smoke, volcanic or dust plumes and automatically retrieve heights and winds, albedos, aerosol properties and fire properties and fire power and brightness temperatures associated with those plumes.
Before you can run MINX, you will need to download and install the free IDL Virtual Machine (VM) code from the ITT website (see Readme Notes).
