Fred A. Kruse, Ph.D., is Principal
Scientist and Managing Partner of Horizon GeoImaging, LLC, Boulder,
Colorado. He provides remote sensing expertise and services to the
commercial and government sectors. Dr. Kruse has been involved in the
analysis of hyperspectral data since 1983, at the U.S. Geological
Survey, as Deputy Director of the Center for the Study of Earth from
Space (CSES), and with Analytical Imaging and Geophysics. Dr. Kruse's
current research and analysis efforts concentrate on practical use of
automated techniques for analysis of imaging spectrometer data for
geology, military, and intelligence applications. Dr. Kruse is also one
of the original developers of the software package ENVI (now an Eastman
Kodak/Research Systems Inc. product).

Dr. Joseph W. Boardman, Ph.D., is Chief Geophysicist and co-founder of
Analytical Imaging and Geophysics. His current research applies
geophysical inversion methods to the problems of imaging spectrometry,
especially spectral "unmixing". Previously, Dr. Boardman was a
Research Associate at the University of Colorado, a visiting scientist
at the CSIRO Division of Exploration Geoscience in Sydney, Australia and
an exploration geophysicist for Tenneco and Chevron oil companies. He
was also a co-founder of the company that created ENVI software. Dr.
Boardman received his Ph.D. in 1991 from the University of Colorado, and
his M.S. and B.S. degrees in geophysics from the Colorado School of
Mines and the University of Oklahoma, respectively
-
Horizon GeoImaging, LLC also uses other
experienced contract guest instructors with broad backgrounds in remote
sensing, image processing, and GIS where required to insure that
students receive the scientific background required to answer specific
scientific questions. Knowledgeable lab assistants are also used where
required to improve the student/instructor ratio during interactive
image-processing and analysis exercises.
