MODO Features
MODO Version 3 was released in April 2005 and has been continuously updated since then. The current features are:
- import/export of Modtran4® 'tape5' ASCII control files
- creation of tape5 input,
- creation and dealing with multiple run tape5s,
- editing of customized own atmospheres,
- import/export of ground reflectance spectra including support for adjacency effect,
- support for ENVI (TM) spectral libraries,
- automatic creation of series based on a spectral library,
- sensitivity analysis through parameter series,
- direct call of Modtran® for Windows and UNIX/Linux/MacOSX,
- extraction of radiance/transmittance components from standard Modtran® output (tape7),
- extraction of solar flux data from Modtran® .flx files,
- plotting of standard Modtran® outputs (tape7 / flux),
- convolution of Modtran® outputs to hyperspectral (gaussian response)
and multispectral sensors,
- includes original Modtran® executables of Modtran® v3r1 for Solares/x86-Linux/MacOSX and Windows (under license of the United States of America),
- direct online help for each GUI,
- complete PDF user manual for the MODO functionality,
- eased sensor simulation with acces to a broad collection of sensor response functions for both airborne and spaceborne optical and thermal instruments, and
- supporting applications for visibility determination and solar angles calculation.
some currently missing features are:
- full support for the BRDF capabilities of Modtran4®,
- support for Modtran®5 - we're still waiting for a possible release...
- support for user defined aerosol phase functions, and
- Modtran5 suppor is in preparation!
- ... what are you missing?
