ROWMAJOR is a software developed at Centre for Geophysical Research of the University of Costa Rica, specifically designed for image processing of high resolution images provided by earth land resources satellites (LandSat, Spot, IRSS, etc), however, can be used for meteorological satellite images or any other raster file (binary files, digital elevation models, etc).

Complies with the principal requirements of this type of processing:

Multispectral/multiband: simultaneously uses up to three image files (bands) for color composite pictures, talking advantage of the high color/resolution capabilities of most common SuperVGA videocards.

Capable of 24-bit display (16 millions of colors). Also works in 16 bit (65K colors) and 8 bit (256 colors).

Big size of image files handled: ROWMAJOR has been used with complete LandSat scenes (simultaneously working with more than 120 MB) in computers 386DX/40 Mhz ~ 4MB RAM at acceptable speeds and without problems.

Efficient spectral enhance systems (contrast handling) and spatial enhancement (ZOOM) in automatic and manual modes.

Capable of saving the product in Windows compatible format (.BMP) which permits translating of the process results to any other graphic format and interfacing with commercial plain drawing/processing software (Windows PaintBrush, CorelDraw, PageMaker, etc.).

Fully interactive, with mouse utilization.


The program has been left in the public domain without cost (freeware). We appreciate comments, recommendations, etc. at the electronic address indicated at the end of this document.

I want a copy of RowMajor v.2.00 (137K)
(Minimum VGA required)


I want a copy of the examples (646K)
(3 MB of hard disk required)
