From air pollution assessment to camouflage detection, ENVI plays an important role in turning images into information. Thousands of scientists, analysts, and remote sensing specialists around the world rely on ENVI to help bring answers into focus.

Just a few of the organizations that use ENVI every day:

Satellite Imaging Aids in Mapping the Extent of Forest Fire Damage
Wildfires play a critical role in ecosystem functioning, and they are an increasing concern for environmental protection and security. Biomass burning has been on the rise for decades. In fact, in Europe, the five Mediterranean States experienced an astronomical 300% increase of forest fires from 1980-2003. Remote sensing continues to play a crucial role in extracting timely information on these disasters. Using sophisticated monitoring instruments, such as the European Space Agency’s Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), researchers can better obtain images and estimate the amount of damage caused by forest fires.

Defense and Intelligence Organizations
Governments and private organizations around the world use ENVI to quickly assimilate different types of data including pan, MSI, HIS, radar, thermal, elevation and vector GIS. ENVI is used to find hidden targets (including sub-pixel targets), identify terrain features, visualize 3D terrain, and perform line-of-sight analysis.

Ellis GeoSpatial
Ellis GeoSpatial helps energy and oil companies better monitor their valuable resources by using ENVI to create detailed environmental baselines and maps of oil fields, refineries, tank farms, pipelines and exploration acreage. By accurately and thoroughly mapping areas to identify soil that has been impacted by oil seeps, Ellis GeoSpatial helps oil companies locate potentially rich oil reserves hidden beneath the Earth’s surface for exploration purposes and prevent environmental damage by controlling seepage resulting from an oil spill.

Commonwealth Scientific Research Organization (CSIRO) Remote Sensing Group, Australia
CSIRO uses ENVI to perform advanced spectral analysis of the enhanced spectral data gathered with the ITRES-developed Compact Airborne Spectral Imager over the Daintree Mangrove Estuary, in Far North Queensland. With ENVI, CSIRO has been able to develop a more cost-effective method for identifying diseased trees within dense forests.

Australian Geological and Remote Sensing Services
Multispectral data has become an important tool in mining explorations, as it provides the high spatial and spectral resolution necessary to discriminate between individual minerals in a target area. Bob Agar of the Australian Geological and Remote Sensing Services in Lesmurdie used ASTER data and ENVI to discriminate between specific iron and clay species by means of their unique spectral signatures in Peru.

The French Space Agency, CNES (Centre National des Études Spatiales)
CNES uses ENVI in their VEGETATION project to analyze data from numerous satellite-borne sensors on a daily basis to represent the time-sequenced evolution of ecosystems, natural and cultivated vegetation, and water and icebergs. This data is then sent out to CNES’ clients around the world to further studies of ecology and regional and global ecosystems.

The Pharmaceutical Industry
ENVI is used in conjunction with digital imaging and spectroscopy as a noninvasive means to accurately determine the spatial distribution of active ingredients in pharmaceutical solid dosage forms, replacing conventional analytical strategies for performing tablet testing that often involved destructive sample preparation procedures, such as tablet crushing and dissolution prior to assay of active ingredients.

Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri
Washington University’s Dr. Fang Li and Professor Rudolf Husar are using ENVI for processing and analysis of NASA’s SeaWiFS data to extract atmospheric aerosol information in an effort to identify the existence of aerosol pollution in the Northeastern region of the United States.

Terra Spase
Susan Mahler and Paul Skinner of Terra Spase, located in Napa, California, are using ENVI and airborne remote sensing data, in combination with soil sample analyses, to help vintners improve irrigation and nutrition management, make crop adjustments, and monitor disease and pest populations. At harvest time, the imagery enables vintners to plan harvesting strategies for reaping fruit at a similar and proper level of maturity.
