Feature Tour - Your Visualizations

Zoom, pan and rotate images. Opticks maintains responsiveness for images of all sizes.
A "snail trail" to visually track the parts of the image you've already viewed.
An "inset" to display a zoomed-in view of the image in a moving window that follows your mouse.
Supports undo/redo.

Choose a single band/frame/channel from the image to display as either gray-scale or colorized using color maps/tables. You can visually create a custom color table.
Choose any three bands/frames/channels from the image to generate a false or true color image. Actually any bands/frames/channels from any loaded images can be used if they are the same size (same # of x,y pixels).
Support for complex data and the ability to display either the Phase, Magnitude, In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q).
Choose from a variety of histograms when colorizing a chosen band/frame/channel: linear, exponential, logarithmic and histogram equalization. Also select the end points using: raw values, percentage, percentile and standard deviation.
Use our custom-designed histogram window to rapidly and easily modify the histogram parameters used to colorize each band/frame/channel.
Adjust the histogram using traditional brightness/contrast controls.
Visual Filters. If your graphics card supports it, you can write visual image filters using Cg (C for Graphics). A Bypass and Edge Detection visual filter are included out-of-the-box.

Create multiple layers for an image:
- Latitude/Longitude - display a coordinate grid
- GCP - create/edit/view ground control points used to georeference an image
- AOI - create/edit/view AOIs (Areas of Interest) and ROIs (Regions of Interest). These can be tied to latitude/longitude or pixel coordinates and are also used to select certain pixels to run an algorithm over.
- Annotation - create/edit/view annotations including arrows, rectangles and text. Also includes active annotations like a north arrow, east arrow, scale bar, measurement object and timestamp.
- Visualize imagery one of three ways
  - Raster - display imagery directly using the methods described in "Colorize".
  - Pseudocolor - create color codes for discrete image data values and display those.
  - Threshold - colorize image data values that range above, below and between configured thresholds.
Layers can be hidden/shown and the order can be adjusted
Layers can be copied. Layers share the underlying data to improve performance. For example, you can make a copy of a raster layer, change the colorization and then quickly hide/show the two raster layers to identify features.
The user can convert between layer types, for example from a raster layer to a threshold layer to an AOI layer.

Create an animation that will flip through all of the bands/frames in an image and then export it as a video (MPEG or AVI).
Our annotations that use georeference information like a scale bar and a measurement object can update if the georeference information changes between frames of an animation.
Create custom animations that combine multiple images and other views. This requires development of extensions or use of the scripting extensions. Browse all extensions.

Link two or more views and have the pan, zoom, and rotate actions in one mirrored in the others. This can be done with or without georeference information.
Use "Data Fusion" to overlay two images into a single window. Allows images with different ground resolutions, physical sizes and look angles to be "fused". Once fused, you can control the transparency of the overlayed images.
