Aug 29

Features:

Enables the user to save and export the processed dataset into several formats including tiff, raw/hdr, avi and .xlsx which are commonly used by a variety of data and image analyses.

Load the image file and select File → Save Data As… and choose a format. Available options are:

Saving in the IDCube format
Saving as a tiff stack of frames in a tif/tiff format
Saving in an ENVI (raw/hdr) format
Saving Datacube into a video (avi) format
Saving the entire datacube in an Excel (xlsx) format
Saving the current frame in an Excel (4) format

Save in IDCube format (.m)

You can use this function to save the changes in the IDCube format. A pop-up window will ask for the name of the new file and the folder. By default, IDCubePro® uses the original folder for saving.

You can opt for automatic opening of the saved file by checking Automatically Open Data After Saving box.

Save as a stack of frames in tif/tiff format

This option allows the user to save the entire dataset into a tiff stack of frame-by-frame tiffs. You will be asked to select a folder.

The stack of frames in a tiff format will be automatically saved in the selected directory.

Save in ENVI (raw/hdr) format

This option allows the user to save the entire dataset into one of the most common hyperspectral imaging formats used by ENVI Image Processing & Analysis Software and other companies.

Select Raw/HDR radiobutton and specify a folder from the pop-up window. Click Convert.

Save in a video (avi) format.

You can use this function to generate a frame-by-frame movie. This function can also be combined with a Single Channel and Two-Channel option with selected equations. A new pop up will ask for the name of the new file and the folder. By default, IDCube uses the original folder for saving.

After the file is formed, it can be opened via a variety of programs that support the avi format.

Convert the Entire Datacube into the Excel format

Click Save As…→ Excel → Entire Datacube and put the name of the file. Click Save.

A pop-up message will warn that this operation might take time. A pop-up message box will inform when the conversion is complete.

The number of tabs in the Excel spreadsheet is equivalent to the number of bands/channels. For example, if the file has 103 channels, there will be 103 tabs labeled 1-103. The assignment of the channels to wavelengths will be implemented in the future versions of IDCube.

Save the Current Image into the Excel format

Click Save As… → Excel → Current Image and select the folder and the name of the file. Click Save. A pop-up message box will inform when the conversion is complete.

Open an Excel file. The rows and columns correspond to spatial dimensions of the saved image.

Additional Information:

All saving functions, except the movie, can be also activated through the Export Tab.

Additional saving functions (such as interactive Mean spectrum from area, and All Spectra from area) are available from the Export Tab.
