Geo::Proj4 is a wrapper library around PROJ, a cartographic projection library, for easy use in Perl software.

The Open Source PROJ library converts between geographic coordinate systems. It is able to convert between geodetic latitude and longitude (LL, most commonly the WGS84 projection), into an enormous variety of other cartographic projections (XY, usually UTM).

Grits is a "Virtual Globe" library which uses OpenGL to render an image of the earth using satellite and terrain data from publicly accessible servers. This is similar in concept to Google Earth and NASA World Wind, except implemented as a library.

This package contains the header files and libraries which are needed for developing programs that use grits.

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 the development files to build applications in C.

Wagyu is a general library for the following basic geometric operations:

• Union
• Intersection
• Difference
• XOR

The output geometry from each of these operations is guaranteed to be valid and simple as per the OGC.

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.
