Abstract :
A PC-based near-real-time implementation of the two-channel maximum-likelihood classifier for the Space Shuttle ice detection system is described. A menu-drive image processing system was developed to implement the classification process. Attention is given to the system history, requirements, and testing, as well as to system implementation, spectral signatures from imagery data, and image processing hardware and software
