Projects

Stellarium

Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It displays stars, constellations, planets and nebulae, and has many other features including multiple panoramic landscapes, fog, light pollution simulation and a built-in scripting engine. Stellarium comes with a star ... [More] catalogue of about 600 thousand stars and it is possible to download extra catalogues with up to 210 million stars. Stellarium has multiple sky cultures - see the constellations from the traditions of Polynesian, Inuit, Navajo, Korean, Lakota, Egyptian and Chinese astronomers, as well as the traditional Western constellations. It is also possible to visit other planets in the solar system - see what the sky looked like to the Apollo astronauts, or what the rings of Saturn looks like from Titan. [Less]

OTB

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 ... [More] 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.

Portland State Aerospace Society

The Portland State Aerospace Society (PSAS) designs and builds open source rockets featuring highly advanced Linux-based avionics systems.

Gpredict

Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application. It can track an unlimited number of satellites and display their position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and polar plots (radar view). Gpredict can also predict the time of future passes for a satellite, and provide ... [More] you with detailed information about each pass. Gpredict is different from other satellite tracking programs in that it allows you to group the satellites into visualisation modules. Each of these modules can be configured independently from the others giving you unlimited flexibility concerning the look and feel of the modules. Naturally, Gpredict will also allow you to track satellites relatively to different observer locations - at the same time. [Less]

Next ESA SAR Toolbox

NEST is a new ESA toolbox with an integrated viewer for reading, calibration, post-processing and analysis of ESA and 3rd party SAR data including ERS-1 & 2, ENVISAT, JERS-1, ALOS PALSAR, TerraSAR-X, and Radarsat-1 & 2. Distributed as fully open source, NEST allows users to easily develop ... [More] new readers and post-processors for SAR data by means of a Java Application Programming Interface (API). NEST is developed by Array Systems Computing Inc. under contract to ESA. [Less]

GSE library

The GSE library provides an easy way to add support for Generic Stream Encapsulation in your application. This library is mainly used in OpenSAND, a satellite emulation platform.

WKTRaster

Raster types for PostGIS. PostGIS WKT Raster is an ongoing project aiming at developing raster support in PostGIS. The goal of WKT Raster is to implement the RASTER type as much as possible like the GEOMETRY type is implemented in PostGIS and to offer a single set of overlay SQL functions ... [More] (like ST_Intersects) operating seamlessly on vector and raster coverages. [Less]

OpenSAND, satellite emulation platform

OpenSAND, formerly known as Platine, is a user-friendly and efficient tool to emulate satellite communication systems. It provides a suitable and simple means for performance evaluation and innovative access and network techniques validation. Its ability to interconnect real equipments with real applications provides excellent demonstration means.

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]

OTB Applications

This package includes a set of applications for remote sensing image processing such as orthorectification, classification, object extraction... Few of these applications come with a full GUI interface. Applications are based on the Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) library. More complex applications are now ... [More] developed in the integrated application: Monteverdi. OTB Applications is distributed under a free software licence CeCILL (similar to GPL) to encourage contribution from users and to promote reproducible research. [Less]
