•The hardware requirements for this system are as follows:  for digitizing/ground truth editing, any of the 32 bit Microsoft OS’s will work.  For computationally intensive jobs including; scene processing, clustering, classification, estimation and mosaicking a batch type system is utilized where jobs can be queued on different devices, and the minimum requirements are Windows XP.  A dual processor PC is recommended.
•Image processing is performed by PEDITOR, where PEDITOR utilizes the Windows console along with environmental variables.  PEDITOR as it is now constituted, will only run under the Microsoft Windows operating systems.
•A Microsoft Visual FoxPro application called the Remote Sensing Project or RSP is used to manage the ground truth collection process, and track each segment to it’s completion.
•Commercial off the shelf software XLNT from Advanced Systems Concepts, allows for batch job processing on the XP operating systems.  SARS utilizes XLNT to run computationally intensive jobs that are shared across network resources to expedite processing.
