ISS Software

Calibration software is available on the COISS_0011 volume. The entire volume can be downloaded by right clicking here (.tar.gz format).
The volume contains a collection of calibration data files, calibration software processing files, sample calibrated images and related documentation. It also contains the source code for the Imaging Science Subsystem Calibration (CISSCAL) software, located in the EXTRAS subdirectory. This software, developed by the Cassini Imaging Team, allows the user to radiometrically and geometrically process the EDR-level images into higher level calibrated images. See the CISSCAL manual, DOCUMENT/CISSCAL_MANUAL.PDF or DOCUMENT/CISSCAL_MANUAL.TEX, for more information.

ISS images are compatible with the Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) software package which is available through the USGS Flagstaff web site.

CASVU is designed specifically for ISS image data analysis. It operates under IDL and can be run under IDL VM software which is available at no cost. CASVU and its users' manual will be available soon. We will supply links to the appropriate pages when they become available.

Another data analysis tool, CAVIAR, is in development and will be made available in the near future. It too utilizes IDL and will operate under IDL VM software. It will be useful for both ISS and VIMS data analysis. We will supply links to the appropriate pages when they become available.

Images archived by the PDS, when accompanied by their respective label files, can be viewed using NASAView which is available through the PDS Software Download web page.

Piotr Masek has developed the Cassini Orbiter Image Viewer, an easy to use viewer for Cassini ISS images. Although it is not designed for doing science, it does let you look at the images quickly and offers some toggles (no detailed control) to stretch & rotate images.
