Clark Labs Now Shipping Idrisi32 Release 2
Clark Labs is now shipping Release 2 of the award winning Idrisi32 GIS and Image Processing
software system. Idrisi32 provides the most extensive set of geographic modeling and analysis
tools available in a single integrated package. With Release 2, this functionality is enhanced by
the addition of a graphical modeling environment. With over 100 analytical functions, models can
be developed by constructing a graphical flow diagram using a simple drag and drop interface.
Dynamic models are also supported by linking outputs to inputs to construct iteration structures.
In addition, users can extend the functionality of the modeling environment by saving models as
submodels that then function as new modular analytical components.
Other major enhancements in Release 2 include extensive additions to the Image Processing
suite and new tools for Change and Time Series Analysis.

For Image Processing, tools have been added for automatic mosaicking, atmospheric correction,
and the import of a variety of new image data formats. In addition, an extensive set of new
classification routines have been added, including Linear Discriminant Analysis (Fisher
Classifier), linear spectral unmixing (for subpixel classification) and a set of new tools for
hyperspectral image analysis, including sub-pixel classification and absorption spectrum analysis
using continuum removal.
Idrisi has long had a distinctive set of tools for change and time series analysis. With Release 2,
this capability has been streamlined and enhanced with the development of special tools for
image differencing, change vector analysis, calibration and regression differencing, Markov chain
analysis, Cellular Automata, temporal correlation, and a special land cover simulation tool based
on the combined strengths of multi-criteria/multi-objective decision support and Cellular Automata
modeling.
Other important additions include a special wizard for multi-criteria/multi-objective decision
making, flood polygon digitizing (AOI digitizing) for signature development, improved logistic
regression modeling, and import/export to the Statistica™ statistical analysis software system.
With these additions to Idrisi32, Clark Labs continues to set the standard for excellence in
geographic analytical software.
