avsharp - AVHRR image sharpening filter.

SYNOPSIS

avsharp  [ parameter=value ... ]  [ inputfile ... ]

Parameters are: include_vars

DESCRIPTION

avsharp filters uncalibrated AVHRR raw count data in place using a deconvolution algorithm defined in 5th AVHRR Data User's Proceedings (see reference below). The algorithm will "sharpen" an AVHRR image by subtracting from each pixel any contamination caused by sensor over-sampling into adjacent pixels. This command will not work on subsampled datasets.

PARAMETERS

include_vars

List of variables to sharpen. If the list is preceded by a minus sign, then all variables except those listed will be sharpened. Wildcards * and ? are allowed. The default is to sharpen all variables.

EXAMPLES

To sharpen all 5 hrpt channels in a tdf dataset:

% avsharp
input file(s)  : char(255) ? avhrr.raw
include_vars   : char(255) ? [] av*
avhrr.raw: fixing avhrr_ch1 ...
avhrr.raw: fixing avhrr_ch2 ...
avhrr.raw: fixing avhrr_ch3 ...
avhrr.raw: fixing avhrr_ch4 ...
avhrr.raw: fixing avhrr_ch5 ...
