WINVICAR is a collection of approximately 150 programs developed for processing of image data on the Windows platform. WINVICAR is a derivative of the VICAR package developed for image processing on the Unix and VAX/VMS platforms. The programs in the WINVICAR package can be run either at the command prompt or via a graphical user interface (GUI). The programs can also be scripted in batch files. The GUI interface requires that Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Microsoft Windows Scripting be installed on the computer. WINVICAR works on the more recent versions of the Windows operating system. The WINVICAR package includes a customized radiative transfer code for determining and compensating for atmospheric effects in image data. WINVICAR includes numerous programs developed specifically for manipulating data from certain NASA imaging instruments such as the MASTER airborne simulator. MASTER is an airborne imaging system designed to simulate and help validate data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instruments on NASA Spacecraft. Although the WINVICAR package contains numerous general-purpose image-processing programs for completeness, its primary purpose is to allow users to manipulate data from certain NASA airborne and spaceborne imaging instruments. The WINVICAR package is distributed through the WINVICAR website: http://winvicar.jpl.nasa.gov Acknowledgements The work described in this paper was carried out in part at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the Earth Observing System Mission to Planet Earth Program.
