Abstract
RSSIM is a comprehensive simulation tool for the study of multispectral remotely sensed images and associated system parameters. It has been developed to allow the creation of realistic multispectral images based on detailed models of the surface the atmosphere, and the sensor. It also can be used to study the effect of system parameters on an output measure, such as classification accuracy or class separability. In this report the operation and use of RSSIM is described. In this first section the implementation of the program is discussed, followed by examples of its use. In section 2 the structure and algorithms used in the major subroutines, along with the associated parameter files are discussed. Section 3 provides a complete listing of the program code.
