The image processing in this the same as in version 20150511.0, but there are some updates mainly concerning mapping outputs. The IDL runtime provided is now IDL 8.4 and should perform better under Windows (especially for processing full tiles). Binaries are provided for Windows, Linux, and now for the first time also for Mac. The layout of the advanced settings window has been rearranged, now users on a laptop should be able to click the OK button.
Download the latest version here. Further details in the processing settings pdf.
Updates since 20150511.0:
- - changed layout of advanced settings dialog, grouped atmospheric correction settings (aerosol, Rayleigh, others), L2 output parameters and mapping options in different tabs
- added new default and user configurable colour scale configuration files for output maps, (see files in the Input directory: parameter_scaling_defaults.cfg and parameter_scaling_user.cfg), as a result the ‘parameter colour scale’ GUI option has been removed, as is the P90 limit scaling for turbidity products
- colour bars can be output to separate files (see advanced settings), scaling and title are taken from the colour scale configuration files (see above)
- ACOLITE now uses USGS provided TOA reflectances by default rather than TOA radiances, as the reflectance is better calibrated (Nima Pahlevan, pers. comm. June 2015)
- spaces are now stripped from the comma separated list for extra L2 output parameters
- A Mac version has been released for testing purposes. Make sure you have XQuartz installed, and then double click the “acolite.app” or run (or compile) the “acolite_mac_script_source.txt” in AppleScript.
