SCANOR
The high resolution data receiving and processing system for the
Earth surface and atmosphere monitoring.
The SCANOR system provides receiving and processing of
the Earth-surface pictures made in visible and infra-red bands and
transferred by satellites of the NOAA polar orbiter series (in the HRPT
mode).
|
Full area of coverage is larger than the shown above and
includes: east of Greenland and Spain to the west and south west, north
of the Afric and the Red sea to the south and spreads beyond the North
Pole. Click here for a sample image (370K of
processed data). One can find more images here.

The SCANOR system includes the desktop receiving device connected to an
IBM AT 386 type computer, and the parabolic antenna with the guiding
mechanism.
The SCANOR system possesses the state-of-art software providing
registration and processing of the received data.
The hardware of the system includes:
The SCANOR system software includes the
following programs:

All the software
works in Microsoft® Windows environment. The users deal with a program
through the state-of-art and Windows-standard interface. The software includes well-developed on-line Help that not only provides
quick help during the work, but can also be used as a reference guide on
satellite data processing. Due to this, even the user who is neither a
professional programmer, nor an expert in satellite data receiving and
processing can easily master working with the system.
