VIPS

The VIPS library/image processing system is well suited for larger than RAM true and false-colour images. VIPS can be used for image format conversion, colour calibration, image filtering, transformation and analysis, thumbnail generation, small object recognition and many other image processing ... [More] tasks. VIPS is well suited for medical and scientific research & development and batch image processing. It is not so good for retouching photographs. The system has two main parts: libvips is the library, and nip2 is the GUI. Both execute common image processing tasks faster than other image processing systems because of sophisticated memory/task management and multicore compatibility. VIPS runs in batch (command line) mode on *nix, Windows, Mac and other OSes. [Less]

NIP2

nip2, the "free love child of Photoshop and Excel," is the GUI of vips. You don't directly edit images --- instead, like a spreadsheet, you build relationships between objects. nip2 actively manages these relationships: if you change an object property, the change is propagated ... [More] "spreadsheet-style." Like vips, nip2 is fast and needs little memory. You can comfortably work with multi-gigabyte images on very modest hardware. In addition to the visual programming interface accessible through the GUI, nip2 has command-line and batch modes. It even has its own functional programming language (for writing extensions).

Opticks

claimed by OSGeo - The Open Source Geospatial Foundation

Opticks is a software framework that enables video and image processing. It allows users to load numerous types of video and image file formats, geo-reference image data, display and playback video and images, build algorithms to process images and video, and save the results as new images and ... [More] video. Additionally, the Opticks public API allows software engineers to develop and add new software plug-ins, thereby expanding and customizing the Opticks functionality. [Less]

Beam - Earth Observation Toolbox

BEAM is an open-source toolbox and development platform for viewing, analysing and processing of remote sensing raster data. Originally developed to facilitate the utilisation of image data from Envisat's optical instruments, BEAM now supports a growing number of other raster data formats such ... [More] as GeoTIFF and NetCDF as well as data formats of other EO sensors such as MODIS, AVHRR, AVNIR, PRISM and CHRIS/Proba. Various data and algorithms are supported by dedicated extension plug-ins.
