Description:
The size and complexity of AVIRIS data sets makes analysis difficult. We present a technique that allows the researcher to rapidly scan the full data set in image form in order to empirically find significant spatial patterns anywhere across the spectrum. Our approach takes advantage of the speed and power of computer graphics workstations to allow real-time, interactive data manipulation and display. Empirical data selection avoids the bias inherent in theoretical selection criteria, and allows discovery of unexpected relationships within the data set. Link Winds, a prototype data analysis system under development, provides the visualization tools used in this study. We are applying this approach to geological studies in the eastern Mojave Desert.
