The Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) has been under development at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the past four years. During this same time period, a dedicated ground data-processing system has been designed and implemented to archive and process the large amounts of data expected from this instrument. This paper reviews the objectives of this ground data-processing system and presents the hardware implementation. An outline of the data flow through the system is given, and the software and incorporated algorithms developed specifically for the systematic processing of AVIRIS data are described.
