RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] looking for OS softwre to stitch aerial photosautomatically
As an Opticks committer, I can say it does not do that out-of-the-box. You could write something using our C++, Python or IDL interfaces. We have no current plans to add this capability, since the focus of Opticks is MASINT and non-literal exploitation.

If you find something can you report back? so I can update my FOS GIS projects paper/map I am writing on.

While the control point generation works out ok (note there are some licensing restrictions due to patents in all the current algorithms) the stitching never comes out quite right because of hugin's insistence on warping to a projection that assumes a camera mounted on a stationary tripod. In discussions with some of the OSSIM team, they are interested in this area but the current app does not do this. Other options that have come up are OpenCv and Nasa Image Workbench but both of these are programming libraries and would require c/c++ coding. It would be great to collaborate on getting this implemented in an OSGeo project. I know several researchers with a need for a tool that does this.

I know that GRASS is pretty good in processing images, but I there's no funtion to patch a bunch of aerial photos by detecting similarities in overlapping areas, I guess. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Looking for free hyperspectral data - help?
The Opticks project ( http://opticks.org/ ) has just released a new LGPL extension ( http://opticks.org/confluence/x/kgI5 ) to perform Spectral processing (HSI and MSI) or image spectroscopy. However, we are in desperate need of some freely available Hyperspectral imagery and signatures for known materials. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperspectral_imaging for more details on Hyperspectral. This will make it substantially easier to develop help/tutorials for the new extension. We are going to try and release some of the currently closed Hyperspectral data we have access to, but that will probably take quite a while. I am currently aware of the following Hyperspectral imagery sources only: AVIRIS - http://aviris.jpl.nasa.gov/html/data.html Hyperion - http://eo1.usgs.gov/hyperion.php And the following known signature sources: USGS Digital Spectral Library - http://speclab.cr.usgs.gov/spectral-lib.html I have also posted this message to the geodata mailing list as well.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo has been accepted as an organisation for Google Summer of code!
Hello all, Opticks [0] will participate. I've updated the wiki page with links to our ideas page. For those of you unfamiliar with Opticks, we participated in Google Summer of Code last year as a standalone organization, but since we have put in an application for incubation with OSGeo [1], thought it was appropriate to participate with OSGeo in Google Summer of Code this year.
