Increasing Efficiency of Image Processing

Earth image, bone image, MRI imaging

satellite imaging, planetary vehicleResearchers at Goddard and Universidad de Extremadura in Spain (UEX) are combining their expertise to improve hyperspectral imaging. The goal is to develop new algorithms that increase the efficiency of parallel processing of imaging data.

Under the partnership agreement, UEX has access to the algorithms in Goddard’s RHSEG software—the same technology being accessed by Bartron Medical Imaging as described in the "Improvements to Medical Imaging" partnership story—as well as remote access to Goddard’s Beowulf PC clusters for parallel processing. Similarly, Goddard has access to UEX’s hyperspectral scene data collected over various semiarid areas in Spain. UEX also is providing expertise and algorithms for additional analyses of imagery data.

Advances in Goddard’s RHSEG software will further enhance its applicability to planetary exploration and terrain mapping.
