E00compr is an ANSI C library that reads and writes Arcinfo compressed E00 files. Both "PARTIAL" and "FULL" compression levels are supported. E00 files are the vector import/export format for Arcinfo. It is plain ASCII and is meant as an interchange format. ESRI considers the format to be proprietary, so this package may not read all E00 files as ESRI may change the format.

This package is useful for importing E00 files into the grass GIS system.

It contains the e00conv command-line program, which takes a E00 file as input (compressed or not) and copies it to a new file with the requested compression level (NONE, PARTIAL or FULL). The library is not included at this stage.

Epsilon is C library for Wavelet based lossy image compression. Wavelet-driven compressors are know to be much more effective than traditional DCT-based ones (like JPEG).

At the moment, the program supports about 30 different wavelet filters, runs in parallel in multi-threaded and MPI environments, can process huge images and much more.

This package contains some useful tools to compress/uncompress images.

GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats. As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. The related OGR library (which lives within the GDAL source tree) provides a similar capability for simple features vector data.

GDAL supports 40+ popular data formats, including commonly used ones (GeoTIFF, JPEG, PNG and more) as well as the ones used in GIS and remote sensing software packages (ERDAS Imagine, ESRI Arc/Info, ENVI, PCI Geomatics). Also supported many remote sensing and scientific data distribution formats such as HDF, EOS FAST, NOAA L1B, NetCDF, FITS.

OGR library supports popular vector formats like ESRI Shapefile, TIGER data, S57, MapInfo File, DGN, GML and more.

This package contains utility programs, based on GDAL/OGR library, namely gdal_translate, gdalinfo, gdaladdo, gdalwarp, ogr2ogr, ogrinfo, ogrtindex.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: pktools

GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database.

This database simply contains IP blocks as keys, and countries as values and it should be more complete and accurate than using reverse DNS lookups.

This package contains the command line utilities to resolve the IP numbers using the GeoIP library.

HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) is a file format for storing scientific data. These tools allow converting other formats to HDF5 and to visualize HDF5 files. They include:

  • h5topng, which extracts a 2d slice of an HDF5 file and outputs a corresponding image in PNG format;
  • h5totxt, which extracts 2d slices and outputs comma-delimited text (suitable for import into a spreadsheet);
  • h5fromtxt, which converts simple text input into multi-dimensional numeric HDF5 datasets;
  • h5fromh4, which converts HDF4 data to HDF5;
  • h5tovtk, which converts HDF5 files to VTK files for visualization with VTK-aware programs;

HDF is a multi-object file format for storing and transferring graphical and numerical data mainly used in scientific computing. HDF supports several different data models, including multidimensional arrays, raster images, and tables. Each defines a specific aggregate data type and provides an API for reading, writing, and organizing the data and metadata. New data models can be added by the HDF developers or users.

This package includes some basic utilities to view, pack, unpack, HDF files.

GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats. As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. The related OGR library (which lives within the GDAL source tree) provides a similar capability for simple features vector data.

GDAL supports many popular data formats, including commonly used ones (GeoTIFF, JPEG, PNG and more) as well as the ones used in GIS and remote sensing software packages (ERDAS Imagine, ESRI Arc/Info, ENVI, PCI Geomatics). Also supported many remote sensing and scientific data distribution formats such as HDF, EOS FAST, NOAA L1B, NetCDF, FITS.

OGR library supports popular vector formats like ESRI Shapefile, TIGER data, S57, MapInfo File, DGN, GML and more.

This package contains the files needed to develop a software that will use the GDAL/OGR (headers, static objects, configuration script).

One location on the globe, in any coordinate system. Geo::Point tries to hide the maths and the coordinate system in which the point is represented.

One of the most confusing things when handling geometrical data, is that sometimes latlong, sometimes xy are used: horizontal and vertical organization reversed. This package tries to hide this from your program by providing abstract accessors latlong(), longlat(), xy(), and yx().

This package provides the following modules:

  • Geo::Line - a sequence of connected points
  • Geo::Point - a point on the globe
  • Geo::Proj - simplified wrapper for Geo::Proj4
  • Geo::Shape - base class for 2-dimensional points on the earth surface
  • Geo::Space - A collection of various items
  • Geo::Surface - A surface description

A mapcode represents a location. Every location on Earth can be represented by a mapcode. Mapcodes were designed to be short, easy to recognise, remember and communicate. They are precise to a few meters, which is good enough for every-day use. Locations in densely populated areas often get shorter mapcodes. See http://www.mapcode.com/

This package contains a command line utility that can convert to and from mapcodes.

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 includes core tools that use the OSSIM library to perform some basic tasks.

PDAL is a BSD licensed library for translating and manipulating point cloud data of various formats. PDAL can be used to read, write and translate point cloud data in many formats. Support is included for input files of LAS, LAZ, SBET, BPF, QFIT and others. PDAL can also read from and write to databases that support point cloud storage, including Oracle, Postgres and SQLite.

PDAL should not be confused with PCL (Point Cloud Library). PCL is a library specifically designed to provide algorithmic analysis and modification of point clouds. PDAL provides a limited interface to the facilities of PCL, but does not in general attempt to duplicate its capabilities.

This package contains the PDAL utilities.

Pktools is a collection of programs to perform operations, mostly on raster geolocated images. It heavily relies on the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) and OGR. The programs are similar to the GDAL tools (gdalinfo, gdal_translate, gdal_merge, ...) and some of the functionalities provided in pktools already exist in the GDAL tools.

All utilities in pktools use command line options and have a built in help. They include more than thirty binaries to edit, change, crop, classify, compare, dump, fill, enhance images and many other common operations useful in the remote sensing field of image analysis.

PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL".

This package contains the PostGIS userland binaries for importing and exporting shape and raster files: pgsql2shp, raster2pgsql, and shp2pgsql.

pprepair (planar partition repair) takes a set of polygons and ensures that they form a valid planar partition, made of valid polygons and having no gaps or overlaps. It can be used as a validator, telling of problems in individual polygons or in the planar partition, and also as an automatic repair tool, outputting a set of polygons that do form a valid planar partition.

prepair permits you to easily repair "broken" GIS polygons, and that according to the international standards ISO 19107. In brief, given a polygon stored in WKT, it automatically repairs it and gives you back a valid WKT. Automated repair methods can be considered as interpreting ambiguous or ill-defined polygons and giving a coherent and clearly defined output.

GeoPandas is a project to add support for geographic data to pandas objects. It currently implements GeoSeries and GeoDataFrame types which are subclasses of pandas.Series and pandas.DataFrame respectively. GeoPandas objects can act on shapely geometry objects and perform geometric operations.

GeoPandas geometry operations are cartesian. The coordinate reference system (crs) can be stored as an attribute on an object, and is automatically set when loading from a file. Objects may be transformed to new coordinate systems with the to_crs() method. There is currently no enforcement of like coordinates for operations, but that may change in the future.

This package contains the Python 2 version of the library.

PySAL is an open source library of spatial analysis functions written in Python intended to support the development of high level applications.

It is important to underscore what PySAL is, and is not, designed to do. First and foremost, PySAL is a library in the fullest sense of the word. Developers looking for a suite of spatial analytical methods that they can incorporate into application development should feel at home using PySAL. Spatial analysts who may be carrying out research projects requiring customized scripting, extensive simulation analysis, or those seeking to advance the state of the art in spatial analysis should also find PySAL to be a useful foundation for their work.

End users looking for a user friendly graphical user interface for spatial analysis should not turn to PySAL directly. Instead, they should consider projects like STARS and the GeoDaX suite of software products which wrap PySAL functionality in GUIs. At the same time, it's expected that with developments such as the Python based plug-in architectures for QGIS, GRASS, and the toolbox extensions for ArcGIS, that end user access to PySAL functionality will be widening in the near future.

This package contains the pysal library for Python 2.

Stetl, streaming ETL, pronounced "staedl", is a lightweight ETL-framework for the conversion of rich (as GML) geospatial data conversion.

It basically glues together existing parsing and transformation tools like GDAL/OGR (ogr2ogr) and XSLT. By using native tools like libxml and libxslt (via Python lxml) Stetl is speed-optimized.

Stetl has a similar design as Spring (Java) and other modern frameworks based on IoC (Inversion of Control). A configuration file (in Python config format) specifies your chain of ETL steps. This chain is formed by a series of Python modules/objects and their parameters. These are symbolically specified in the config file. You just invoke etl.py the main program with a config file. The config file specifies the input modules (e.g. PostGIS), transformers (e.g. XSLT) and outputs (e.g. a GML file or even WFS-T a geospatial protocol to publish GML to a server).

This package contains the module for Python 2.

librasterlite2 is an open source library that stores and retrieves huge raster coverages using a SpatiaLite DBMS.

It is intended to completely replace and supersede librasterlite. The two projects are completely unrelated: the unique similarity between both is just in covering the same identical application area.

This package contains command-line tools to use librasterlite2.

Stetl, streaming ETL, pronounced "staedl", is a lightweight ETL-framework for the conversion of rich (as GML) geospatial data conversion.

It basically glues together existing parsing and transformation tools like GDAL/OGR (ogr2ogr) and XSLT. By using native tools like libxml and libxslt (via Python lxml) Stetl is speed-optimized.

Stetl has a similar design as Spring (Java) and other modern frameworks based on IoC (Inversion of Control). A configuration file (in Python config format) specifies your chain of ETL steps. This chain is formed by a series of Python modules/objects and their parameters. These are symbolically specified in the config file. You just invoke etl.py the main program with a config file. The config file specifies the input modules (e.g. PostGIS), transformers (e.g. XSLT) and outputs (e.g. a GML file or even WFS-T a geospatial protocol to publish GML to a server).

This package contains the stetl utility.

Total Open Station (TOPS for friends) is a free software program for downloading and processing data from total station devices.

This is a task which is usually done by proprietary, dedicated and Windows™-only software, but TOPS is different by nature, because:

  • it is free software released under the GNU GPLv3 license;
  • it works on any operating system, including mobile platforms like OpenMoko;
  • it is designed to support as many devices and formats as possible, all within the same program, opposed to having one program per device.

Every model has its own quirks, but TOPS uses a modular structure and keeps the downloading of data logically separated from its processing, thus enabling exporting data to a variety of output formats, even at a later moment. Archiving of raw data is made easy by using plain text files.

NCO is a suite of programs known as operators. The operators are stand-alone, command-line programs executable in a POSIX shell. Operators take one or more netCDF files as input, perform operations (e.g., averaging, hyperslabbing), and produce a netCDF output file. NCO was originally designed to manipulate and analyze climate data, though it works on any netCDF format datasets.

PyEPR provides Python bindings for the ENVISAT Product Reader C API (EPR API) for reading satellite data from ENVISAT ESA (European Space Agency) mission.

PyEPR, as well as the EPR API for C, supports ENVISAT MERIS, AATSR Level 1B and Level 2 and also ASAR data products. It provides access to the data either on a geophysical (decoded, ready-to-use pixel samples) or on a raw data layer. The raw data access makes it possible to read any data field contained in a product file.

This is the Python 2 version of the package.

NetCDF version 4 has many features not found in earlier versions of the library and is implemented on top of HDF5. This module can read and write files in both the new netCDF 4 and the old netCDF 3 format, and can create files that are readable by HDF5 clients. The API is modelled after Scientific.IO.NetCDF, and should be familiar to users of that module.

Most new features of netCDF 4 are implemented, such as multiple unlimited dimensions, groups and zlib data compression. All the new numeric data types (such as 64 bit and unsigned integer types) are implemented. Compound and variable length (vlen) data types are supported, but the enum and opaque data types are not. Mixtures of compound and vlen data types (compound types containing vlens, and vlens containing compound types) are not supported.

This package contains the netCDF 4 module for Python 2.

Google Earth is a 3D planet viewer that lets you interactively navigate satellite imagery, maps, terrain, and so forth.

Google Earth is available for GNU/Linux from their web site, but is non-free software and is undistributable. It also does not integrate well into a Debian system.

This utility makes it possible to build your own personal Debian package of Google Earth. The packaging itself is Free Software, but the Google Earth program is governed by the copyright holder (Google), so you may be limited as to what you can do with the resulting package (i.e. no redistribution, etc). This package will simply help you create the package, it is your responsibility to use the resulting package responsibly.

This C library supports TIFF 6.0 based interchange format for georeferenced raster imagery. The GeoTIFF standard has been developed for reading, and writing geographic meta-information tags on top of TIFF raster.

This package contains EPSG Geodetic Paramenters data files which can be used with standard projections. These data are useful to better dump geo-contents of many GeoTIFF files.

vtp - wnpp
Virtual Terrain Project
License: free
Debian package not available

The goal of VTP is to foster the creation of tools for easily constructing any part of the real world in interactive, 3D digital form.

This goal will require a synergetic convergence of the fields of CAD, GIS, visual simulation, surveying and remote sensing. VTP gathers information and tracks progress in areas such as procedural scene construction, feature extraction, and rendering algorithms. VTP writes and supports a set of software tools, including an interactive runtime environment (VTP Enviro). The tools and their source code are freely shared to help accelerate the adoption and development of the necessary technologies.

capaware
3D multilayer geographical framework
License: GPL
Debian package not available

Capaware! is conceived as a system of 3D terrain representation with multilayer representation of diverse types of resources capabilities and executed applications integration feature.

With OpenSceneGraph as the graphical engine, Capaware! enables the creation and modification of new layers of data through access to remote servers where they are. Moreover, the system can be completed with new features and programmed executables through the use of specific plugins. In this way we can gradually increase the power of the final system.
