Hi Jonathon

Good to know about your interst in integrating image processing 
functionality into mapserver. We are also doing similar kind of work. 
We have developed a generic binary image (BIP/BIL/BSQ) access library 
and a geospatial analysis module that go along with mapserver. Our 
intrest is to define a generic frame work where in users/developers 
can easily add more application specific fuctionality into mapserver.  

You can have a look at 

http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/egis/avhrr/

to get an idea of new raster GIS capabilities in mapserver. 
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
Raju
