«Thematic Pro» - in-depth thematic processing of space images and their interpretation

The Thematic Pro module of ScanEx Image Processor is intended for in-depth thematic processing of space images and their interpretation. The functionality of the application, reserved for professional users, enables to use both conventional (visualization, filtration, obtaining new images by computation) and up-to-date methods, using adaptive algorithms based on topographic mapping during the source remote sensing data processing. The latter are used for more comprehensive (from the viewpoint of thematic interpretation) classification and segmentation of satellite images. Application of algorithms based on topographic mapping enables to achieve better results when selecting thematic information.

The Thematic Pro module allows the user to process vector and raster data simultaneously by applying vector maps for thematic interpretation process control and to vectorize the classification results in the best way.

The application runs all know pixel-by-pixel and object-oriented algorithms of space images, i.e.:

• Unsupervised (automatic) classification based on cluster analysis using ISODATA algorithm (Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique).
• Supervised classification based on Topographic Mapping.
• Supervised classification of multispectral and radar data based on segmentation algorithms (object-oriented interpretation)

The possibility of using both pixel-by-pixel algorithms based on topographic mapping and segmentation ones is a unique feature of the Thematic Pro module, ensuring wide possibilities of RS data thematic interpretation, missing is similar software products.

Formats of raster and vector information, as well as its presentation standards, used by Thematic Pro, fully comply with those of ScanEx Image Processor 3.0. Procedures and functions of ScanEx Image Processor application are used during loading, viewing, saving and processing of raster and vector information.
