-Remote sensing processing library developped by CNES
- ORFEO Toolbox (OTB) is distributed as an open source library of image processing
- algorithms. OTB is based on the medical image processing library ITK 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 licence CeCILL (similar to GPL) to encourage contribution from users and to
- promote reproducible research. The library is intensively tested on several platforms
- as Linux, Unix and Windows. Most functionnalies are also adapted to process huge
- images using streaming and multithreading 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;
- image segmentation: region growing, watershed, level sets;
- classification: K-means, SVM, Markov random fields;
- change detection.
- .
- OTB rely on itk, gdal, ossim, libsvm among others.
