RapidEye, the only geospatial solutions provider to own and operate a constellation of five identical Earth Observation satellites, announced today that ENVI 4.7, the latest release of ENVI software from ITT Visual Information Solutions, now supports RapidEye levels 1B and 3A data products. ENVI 4.7 allows RapidEye consumers to easily access, process and analyze, and share information from RapidEye imagery.
The new capability introduced in ENVI 4.7 provides ENVI users with RapidEye satellite sensor support, the ability to orthorectify RapidEye data using RPCs, and extract DEMs from its stereo pairs. In addition to the support available in ENVI, ENVI's add-on Atmospheric Correction Module now also allows users to correct RapidEye imagery for atmospheric interference.
“Delivering support for the latest imagery and data types, like RapidEye, is our longstanding commitment to ENVI users,” said Beau Legeer, Product Marketing Director for ITT Visual Information Solutions. “We are pleased to advance ENVI’s capabilities to include support for this new, multi-spectral imagery data source.”  
“We are excited about this new version of ENVI that supports both levels of RapidEye image products and allows the user to exploit the full potential of RapidEye images through orthorectification, DEM extraction and atmospheric correction,” said Frederik Jung-Rothenhaeusler, Product Development Manager for RapidEye.
