The most recent version of the HOU image processing and data analysis software (HOU-IP) runs under Windows95. Old versions of HOU-IP will run under Win3.1 on a 486 or better or a Macintosh II series or better. The software is provided to all teachers that go to the HOU professional development workshops and may be used on all computers used in their HOU classes.
Image processing tools include: log scaling, min/max adjustment, resizing, a variety of color palettes, and image manipulation such as rotation, flip, shift, and arithmetic functions (add, subtract, multiply and divide). For data analysis, counts are displayed for each pixel and slice plots and histograms show brightness distributions. Photometry routines calculate full width half max and sky-subtracted brightness.
