Field notes
The homepage organizes its tools by workflow, including mensuration, sensor models, terrain, SAR, hyperspectral analysis, LiDAR, and motion imagery with map-synced MISB metadata. It specifies Chrome or Edge 120+ and labels the application a 5.9 MB HTML file. Its side-by-side comparisons break capabilities into full, partial, and unsupported coverage rather than presenting only a single parity figure.
