Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers
Encyclopedia
Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers, also abbreviated to Isis, is a specialized software package developed by the USGS to process images
and spectra collected by current and past NASA planetary missions sent to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and other solar system bodies.
Isis was developed in 1989, primarily to support the Galileo NIMS instrument.
It contains standard image processing capabilities (such as image algebra, filters, statistics) for both 2D images and 3D data cubes, as well as mission-specific data processing capabilities and cartographic rendering functions.
Image processing
In electrical engineering and computer science, image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, such as a photograph or video frame; the output of image processing may be either an image or, a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image...

History
The history of ISIS began in 1971 at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in Flagstaff, Arizona.Isis was developed in 1989, primarily to support the Galileo NIMS instrument.
