Open Source Software Image Map (OSSIM) is a high performance engine for remote sensing, image processing, geographical information systems and photogrammetry. It has been actively developed since 1996.

Designed as a series of high performance software libraries, it is written in C++ employing the latest techniques in object-oriented software design.

The library provides advanced remote sensing, image processing, and geo-spatial functionality. A quick summary of OSSIM functionality includes ortho-rectification, precision terrain correction, rigorous sensor models, very large mosaics, and cross sensor fusions, a wide range of map projections and datums, and a large range of commercial and government data formats. The architecture of the library supports parallel processing with mpi (not enabled), a dynamic plugin architecture, and dynamically connectable objects allowing rapid prototyping of custom image processing chains.

This package contains the OSSIM GUI library development files.

CF is a netCDF convention which is in wide and growing use for the storage of model-generated and observational data relating to the atmosphere, ocean and Earth system.

This package is an implementation of the CF data model, and as such it is an API allows for the full scope of data and metadata interactions described by the CF conventions.

With this package you can:

  • Read CF-netCDF files, CFA-netCDF files and UK Met Office fields files and PP files.
  • Create CF fields.
  • Write fields to CF-netCDF and CFA-netCDF files on disk.
  • Aggregate collections of fields into as few multidimensional fields as possible using the CF aggregation rules.
  • Create, delete and modify a field’s data and metadata.
  • Select and subspace fields according to their metadata.
  • Perform broadcastable, metadata-aware arithmetic, comparison and trigonometric operation with fields.
  • Collapse fields by statistical operations.
  • Sensibly deal with date-time data.
  • Allow for cyclic axes.
  • Visualize fields the cfplot package.

All of the above use Large Amounts of Massive Arrays (LAMA) functionality, which allows multiple fields larger than the available memory to exist and be manipulated.

This package installs the library for Python 2.

python-geohash provides fast and accurate geohash encoding and decoding functionality. Geohash is a latitude/longitude geocode system (a string representation of two dimensional geometric coordinates). In addition to geohash, this module also supports the quadtree, jpgrid (JIS X 0410) and jpiarea grid codes.

python-liblas
Python module to use the ASPRS LiDAR data translation library

Version: 1.8.1-11

libLAS is a C/C++ library for reading and writing ASPRS LAS versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 data. The LAS format is a sequential binary format used to store data from sensors and as intermediate processing storage by some LiDAR-related applications. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target. The prevalent method to determine distance to an object or surface is to use laser pulses.

This package contains a Python module to use libLAS.

Version: 1.4.7-4

Modest Maps is a display and interaction library for tile-based maps in Flash (Actionscript 2.0 and Actionscript 3.0), Javascript and Python.

Its intent is to provide a minimal, extensible, customizable, and free display library for designers and developers who want to use interactive maps in their own projects. Modest Maps provides a core set of features in a tight, clean package, with hooks for additional functionality.

This package contains the Python module.
