The author (Todd Berendes) would like to thank the following people and organizations for their contributions to IVICS (hope I didn't forget anyone ;-).
Kuo-Sen Kwo for his contribution of AVHRR and ASTER calibration and the neural network code used by the classifier.
Udaysankar Nair for his contribution of Landsat, Goes, and Ikonos calibration code.
Ron Welch for his advice and guidance (he also has a knack for finding all my bugs)
Denise Berendes for her help with the classifier and support (she is also a good bug finder)
Bryan Baum for his suggestions (the scatter plots were his idea) and help with the MODIS data.
Vasanth Tovinkere for SIVIS from which I shamelessly stole many ideas for the latest incarnation of IVICS.
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory for the plot-widget code used to create plots in IVICS. Here is their standard acknowlegement taken from the plot-widgets v1.1 README file.
"This work was performed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Universities Research Association, Inc., under contract DE-AC02-76CH03000 with the U.S. Department of Energy."
All of the open source developers without whom this work would not be possible.
Hopefully, this list will grow as I get feedback and contributions from IVICS users.
