The Google Books NGram dataset is a perfect way to answer this - it shows the frequency of words or phrases in the Google Books corpus (basically all text in all books, journals, magazines etc that ...
I use a number of tools depending on the type of classification I am trying to perform. For general unsupervised/supervised classification I use ENVI, which has many options for classification ...
Generally the answer is "Quite a large effect", but it can vary significantly. In general - do atmospheric correction if possible, and the best atmospheric correction you can - although I ...
Short answer: It's a numerical precision issue: the xa, xb and xc coefficients are not displayed in the 6S output file with enough precision to produce the correct answer when using the formula. It is ...
My list of Free GIS Data lists freely available GIS data for various countries including Australia. Unfortunately there is only one link for Australia, but that is to a government site which seems to ...
The Geospatial Modelling Environment (the successor of Hawth's Tools for ArcGIS) links python scripting, R and ArcGIS in a useful way. I haven't investigated the links with R in detail, but it looks ...

Are you using IDL with ENVI, or by itself? If you're using IDL with ENVI (by far the easiest if you have ENVI) then the standard ENVI file reading commands will work. For example: ENVI_SELECT, fid=...
I have now found the answer to this question, thanks to Bborie Park on the PostGIS-Users mailing list. Basically, by default when communicating with PostGIS, GDAL uses a setting called mode with a ...
In my experience, ENVI EX provides a rather simplistic method for performing feature extraction using object-based image analysis. I investigated using ENVI EX for a project involving image ...
The most accurate way to do this is to use the Ordnance Survey AddressPoint dataset. Their price list seems to suggest that for use on just one terminal costs around £16,000. However, if you are ...
