Gerbil is a generic framework for visualization and analysis of multispectral and hyperspectral data that strives to both bring new innovations in analysis capabilities and be of use in a wide range of hyperspectral data applications. In a nutshell, Gerbil lets you…

• explore a multispectral or hyperspectral image before processing it,
• apply common computer vision algorithms adapted to hyperspectral data,
• cluster and label image pixels for your application scenario,
• assess your own algorithms via high-dimensional data visualization,
• use an intuitive interface for teaching multispectral imaging and reflectance analysis,

and most probably a huge amount of other things that we did not think of yet!

Gerbil is free software, which means that you have a lot of freedoms in using the software in your research and beyond. See the Documentation for details on how to install and use the software.
