Dear all, We are pleased to announce that Orfeo ToolBox 6.2.0 is out ! As usual, ready-to-use binary packages are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X: You can also checkout the source directly with git: git clone https://g...@git.orfeo-toolbox.org/git/otb.git OTB -b release-6.2 We welcome your feedback and requests, and encourage you to join the OTB community and mailing list. If you think you face a bug, please report it on Mantis. As we made an exception to our 3 months release schedule (OTB 6.0 is now 6 months old), we know that you are all looking forward to updating your favorite tool. And there is indeed a lot of new things in this new version. In addition, a total of 47 reported bugs have been fixed. You can check the Release Notes . Better help, doc and logsThanks to RFC 91, errors have been made clearer everywhere in OTB. For instance, when OTB 6.0 used to say: 2017 May 16 18:07:49 : Application.logger (CRITICAL) Invalid image filename blabla.tif. 2017 May 16 18:07:49 : Application.logger (FATAL) The following error occurred during application execution : /home/otbval/Dashboard/src/OTB/Modules/Wrappers/ApplicationEngine/include/otbWrapperInputImageParameter.txx:79: itk::ERROR: InputImageParameter(0x2158710): No input image or filename detected... OTB 6.2 now says: 2017-05-16 18:07:49 (FATAL): Cannot open file blabla.tif. The file does not exist. RFC 96 takes care of improving the display of help in command-line mode. There is now a -help switch that allows to display the same help as in the documentation tab of GUI applications, and this switch also allows to get help for parameters: $ ./bin/otbcli SampleSelection -help instats sampler vec MISSING -instats <string> Input Statistics (mandatory) Input file storing statistics (XML format) -sampler <string> Sampler type [periodic/random] (mandatory, default value is periodic) Type of sampling (periodic, pattern based, random) MISSING -vec <string> Input vectors (mandatory) Input geometries to analyse Meanwhile, we started a background task for improving the content of the documentation itself. With a single sprint of one day, we already improved greatly the documentation of 19 applications, which can are listed in RFC 103. We are planning to continue this work in future releases until all applications have been screened for documentation improvements. Other improvements in this section includes the logging for composite application (RFC 105), and an explicit open-source licence for the Cookbook (RFC 94). Improvements and refactoring of several applicationsWe re-factor several applications following discussions during last OTB User Days:
Improved build, superbuild, and packagesThere is now only one binary packages per platform which includes:
Moreover, superbuilds now contains the latest OpenJpeg, Gdal and NetCDF5. Welcome to Daniel McInerneyWe’ve got one new committer to OTB! Daniel is
a researcher working for Coillte Teoranta – the Irish State
Forestry Board and a user of OTB for a long time. His
first pull request includes a lot of great improvements in the
documentation.
I encourage anybody interested to get more involved in OTB to
join discussions and become part of the team.
Orfeo ToolBox Graduates OSGeo incubation!OTB has graduated in July from incubation and is now a full
fledged OSGeo project!
Graduating incubation includes fulfilling requirements for
transparent community operation code provenance, and general good
project operation. It allows OSGeo to recommend Orfeo ToolBox as
example sustainable open source software, giving users and our
community confidence in the project and the project team. It is a
great honor for us to become an official member of the OSGeo
community.
Thanks to everyone who helps during the process.
