Preliminary results of Theia, a software system for
multispectral image visualization and analysis are presented.
A new approach is adopted, based on modern design
techniques and better tuned to the recent advancements
in hardware. A careful implementation in the C++
language addresses the issues of time eciency, openness
to personalizations, portability by exploiting the advances
of Open Source technologies. Experimental tests on
multispectral images have given promising results towards
the use of the system as a dynamic, interactive interface to
massive data visualization and processing.
