Spectral Processing Extension 1.4.1rc1 has been released on July 21st, 2011.
This release is the first release candidate for 1.4.1. This release is marked as "not for production". The current plan is to allow three weeks for the community to validate this release. If you find any major issues please report them to our bug and issue tracker. If no major issues have been identified by August 11th, then creation of 1.4.1 will proceed. Currently, 1.4.1 is scheduled to be available on August 23rd and it will be a production release and can be used to create production products. Please download and validate this release to help ensure 1.4.1 is a great release!

New Features
- Added a new importer that loads any of the Landsat 5 and 7 GeoTIFF imagery that is freely available from the USGS website at http://glovis.usgs.gov/. This importer can load either the raw digital number radiance, the top-of-atmosphere solar corrected radiance or reflectance values for the PAN and VNIR/SWIR Landsat products. This importer can also load either the raw digital numbers or Kelvin temperatures for the TIR Landsat products. (EXTRAS-190)
- Added a new importer that loads QuickBird-2, WorldView-1 and WorldView-2 imagery that can be purchased from DigitalGlobe or other resellers. This importer can load either the raw digital number radiance, the top-of-atmosphere solar corrected radiance or reflectance values for the PAN and VNIR products. (EXTRAS-191)
- Added a new signature matching algorithm, Adaptive Cosine Estimator (ACE) that accompanies the existing signature matching algorithms of CEM and SAM. (EXTRAS-114)
- Added a new anomaly detector, Topological Anomaly Detector (TAD). (EXTRAS-180)
- Improved performance of the Spectral Library Matching tool, by adding multi-threading support to the SAM algorithm (Windows and Linux only) and improving display performance of the match results. (EXTRAS-149)
- Added a new AutoClear feature to the Spectral Library Matching tool. If enabled, the Match Results Window for a data set will be cleared each time before new results are added. The default state for the feature can be set via the "Tools/Options/Spectral Library Match" options widget. The state for an individual data set results window can be changed via its context menu. (EXTRAS-189)
Bug Fixes
- After being aborted, the MNF plug-in no longer prompts the user to save the MNF coefficients. (EXTRAS-42)
- The CEM and SAM plug-ins now properly delete the created layer and raster element if an error occurs while processing. (EXTRAS-111)
- When creating a new spectral library to export, the user is now required to enter a custom name for the library to prevent a possible error on import. (EXTRAS-182)
- The RX algorithm will fail with an appropriate error message if memory cannot be allocated, instead of failing with a message that made it appear the user canceled the algorithm. (EXTRAS-164)
Supported Opticks Versions
- This extension is supported in any version of Opticks 4.7.X that is Opticks 4.7.1rc1 or later.
