Added to the Unipos website "MODE” is a graphical front-end to MODTRAN for remote sensing.
Sensing technology that uses various sensors to measure physical quantities (mass, distance, force, time, current, etc.), converts them into digital data, and visualizes them.There are two types of this sensing technology, "smart sensing" and "remote sensing", and MODO is a product related to the latter remote sensing.
Remote Sensing is a technology that collects necessary information from places far away from the ground, such as satellites and aircraft, without touching the target object. It is one of the most useful applications in the fields of surveying (mineral spectroscopy), agriculture and forestry, aerial reconnaissance, and cartography.

The original MODO software application was implemented by Daniel Schlapfer with the support of the Remote Sensing Laboratories of the University of Zurich.
What is MODO?
Graphic user interface for MODTRAN, an atmospheric radiative transfer model jointly developed by the US Air Force Research Laboratory and Spectral Sciences. MODO's excellent user interface makes it easy to model hyperspectral (HS) sensor radiance and general radiometric (infrared radiation) simulations.
Main functions/features:
- Running MODTRAN via GUI
- Plot the output of MODTRAN
- Extracting and transforming spectra from MODTRAN
- spectral convolution
- Simple Atmospheric Correction of Multispectral Images for Flat Terrain
- Cross-platform compatible
System requirements:
- Operating system: Linux (x86), MacOSX or Windows
- MODO runs: IDL 8.7 (Harris Inc.)

About ReSe Applications
A company that develops satellite remote sensing applications for processing multispectral and hyperspectral imagery.It enables verification and research using orthorectification (PARGE), atmospheric/terrain correction (DROACOR/ATCOR), and MODO (MODTRAN) of collected spectroscopic image data.
These applications are also designed to process remote sensing data from instruments such as HyMAP, APEX, AVIRIS, HySpex from NEO, AISA from Specim, HyperSpec from Headwall Photonics, Resonon Pika, and CASI from Itres. it was done.It is also based on IDL technology (programming language) for extending the remote sensing image analysis software ENVI.
