DIRSIG Development Roadmap

Note that this roadmap is subject to change depending on contracts and staff availability. It focuses on features that will be visible to end-users; there may be internal code cleanups and features that are not listed here.

DIRSIG-4.2.3

• Graphical User Interface
  • LIDAR instrument editor
  • Instrument Mount visualization
    • Animated plot showing mount movement as f(t)
  • Weather file entry viewer
    • Read-only
    • Table view of entries
    • Graphical plots as f(t) view of entries
  • Platform motion editor
    • Lots of bug fixes
    • Support for geolocated platform files (geodetic, UTM, ECEF)
    • Support for alternative orientation reference frames (platform-ENU, ECEF)
  • Additional feature and usability enhancements
  
  
• Adaptive Detector Sampling
  • Keeps sending samples from detector element till result converges or sample limit is reached
  • Alternative to using fixed number of samples per detector
  
  
• Instrument Mount Enhancements
  • Lemniscate mount
  • Line-scan mount
  • Scriptable instrument mounts
  • Tabulated instrument mount enhancements
  • Tracking instrument mounts
    • Always points at named geometry instance
  
  
• MuSES Integration Enhancements
  • Direct import of TDF geometry and temperature results to DIRSIG geometry
  
  
• Weather Improvements
  • Can now indicate that direct/diffuse insolation should be predicted at runtime
  
  
• XML Options File
  • Allows photon map configuration when using XML inputs
  
  
• Expanded coverage for unit_tester framework
