Dear all, I am part of the OTB development team, we would like to know if there is possibility to open discussion for the integration of OTB in the OSGeo Live DVD.
ORFEO Toolbox library is develop by the French Space Agency (CNES)<http://www.cnes.fr> in the frame of the Methodological Part of the ORFEO Accompaniment Program<http://smsc.cnes.fr/PLEIADES/A_prog_accomp.htm> to prepare, accompany and promote the use and the exploitation of the images derived from Pleiades (PHR) <http://smsc.cnes.fr/PLEIADES/> and Cosmo-Skymed (CSK) systems. ORFEO Toolbox (OTB) is distributed as an open source library of image processing algorithms. OTB is implemented in C++ and is mainly based on the medical image processing library ITK <http://www.itk.org/> and offers particular functionalities for remote sensing image processing in general and for high spatial resolution images in particular. OTB is distributed under a free software licenseCeCILL<http://www.cecill.info/licences/Licence_CeCILL_V2-en.html> (similar to GPL). The library is intensively tested on several platforms as Linux, Unix, Windows and Mac. (http://dash.orfeo-toolbox.org/) The library use also other OSGeo Open Source softwares : GDAL, Mapnik, PostGIS... Most functionalities are also adapted to process huge images using streaming and multi-threading as often as possible. Among other, OTB provides a number of heavily documented functionalities as - image access: optimized read/write access for most of remote sensing image formats, meta-data access, visualization; - filtering: blurring, denoising, enhancement; - feature extraction: interest points, alignments, lines, radiometric indices...; - image segmentation: region growing, watershed, level sets; - classification: K-means, SVM, Markov random fields; - change detection. There are also related project based on the ORFEO Toolbox: -OTB-Applications : provide command line interface based on OTB filters. This CLI are also provided as standalone application (in FLTKL or QT) and also as QGIS plugin. -Monteverdi : software based on the ORFEO Toolbox library which allows building processing chains by selecting modules from a set of menus. It supports raster and vector data and integrates most of the already existing OTB applications. The architecture takes advantage of the streaming and multi-threading capabilities of the OTB pipeline. It also uses cool features as processing on demand and automagic file format I/O.The modular architecture provide acces to lot's of OTB functionnalities : Image Geometry, image filetring and feature extraction, learning methods, SAR algorithms... The toolbox (and also related projects) are also provided as binary packages for Windows, Mac and recently also on Linux Platforms. An OTB repository is available on launchpad.net for Ubuntu platforms (9.10,10.4,10.10) and also for OpenSuse platforms. Here you can ind detailed informations about access to the source code or to binary packages : http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb/download.html A live DVD is available for OTB (very handy for demonstration or education purposes). It's available at: http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/otblive/<http://otb/../otblive/> It was not updated since the last release 3.8. OTB is under incubation for OSGeo Project. Do not hesitate if you need further informations about the project. Best regards, -- Manuel
