Software Development

At Applied Analysis Inc., we develop both commercial and custom software to process satellite imagery. You can put our broad experience base with satellite image processing, GIS software development, and web applications to work for your organization. We develop custom applications either through contract work or partnering arrangements. If you need a custom application within IMAGINE or COSMEC, call us and leverage our experience to quickly produce what you need.

We specialize in writing software that works in conjunction with other image processing packages. This allows us to concentrate on implementing powerful algorithms and producing robust, easy to use software without having to re-invent the software required to display and manipulate images. We pay particular attention to automation and ease of use when developing software. We also insure that our software is cross-platform compatible and operates under both Windows and Unix.

We have experience developing add-on modules for Leica Geosystem's ERDAS IMAGINE software and the government's COSMEC system. Our Subpixel Classifier and Image Calibrator commercial products are available for both. Likewise, our BANDS software is available under COSMEC. We also have the ability to produce image processing software under IDL and ENVI from Research Systems Inc.

Our software developers have experience with the following technologies:
· ANSI C/C++ (traditional and object-oriented programming)
· Java, Java applets/servlets (standalone and web applications)
· DTHML, Javascript, SVG (web development)
· PHP, SQL (web data base development)
· IDL (Research Systems Inc.)
· Windows, X-Windows, GUI-scripting (EML, Tcl/tk)
· Cross-platform development (Windows, Unix, Linux)

At Applied Analysis Inc. we follow industry standard procedures, including CMM level 2, when developing software. We have process and version control systems in place to produce reliable, controlled software. Our development process includes the development of test plans and quality assurance test programs to ensure that the software we deliver is ready for general use. Whether it is a simple web mapping application or a complex image processing algorithm, AAI can develop the software to make it operational.
