NGDCS Linux Application for Imaging-Spectrometer Data Acquisition and Display

摘要

A simple method of controlling recording and display of imaging spectrometer data in (airborne) flight was needed. Existing commercial packages were overly complicated, and sometimes difficult to operate in a bouncing plane. The software also was required to keep up with the imaging data rate, while still running on commodity hardware and a desktop operating system. Finally, the software needed to be as robust as possible -repeating a flight because of lost data is sometimes impossible, and always expensive.
