AVCE00 is a C library and group of tools that makes Arcinfo (binary) Vector Coverages appear as E00. It allows you to read and write binary coverages just as if they were E00 files.

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.

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.

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.

Commonly referred to as GRASS, this is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/map production, spatial modeling, and visualization.

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.

PySHP provides read and write support for the ESRI Shapefile format. The Shapefile format is a popular Geographic Information System vector data format created by ESRI.

This package contains the module for Python 2.x.

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.

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.

Kadaster and Rijkswaterstaat CIV, working together under the name RDNAP, developed RDNAPTRANS™2008, the precise and official transformation between ETRS89 and the dutch national horizontal and vertical coordinate reference systems the Stelsel van de Rijksdriehoeksmeting (RD) and the Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP). A ‘simplified’ procedure has been developed which uses a NTv2-grid for the transformation between ETRS89 and RD as well as a VDatum-grid for the transformation between ETRS89 and NAP. This ‘simplified’ procedure has the following limitations:

 1) The rdtrans2008 NTv2-grid can only give identical results to
    RDNAPTRANS™2008 within 1 millimeter at ground level onshore and at
    mean sea level offshore. The horizontal deviation is approximately
    1 millimeter per 50 meter height difference from ground level or mean
    sea level.
 2) An exception to 1) is the border of the RDNAPTRANS™2008 correction
    grid. Transformation results within cells of the rdtrans2008 NTv2-grid
    that are intersected by the border of the RDNAPTRANS™2008 correction
    grid can result in deviations of up to 20 centimeter.
 3) The naptrans2008 VDatum-grid cannot be used to determine deflections
    of the vertical. For this the NLGEO2004 geoid model has to be used.
 4) The naptrans2008 VDatum-grid is referenced to the Bessel-1841 ellipsoid
    and cannot be used stand-alone, it has to be used in combination with
    the rdtrans2008 NTv2-grid.

Taking into account the limitations listed above, the rdtrans2008 NTv2-grid and naptrans2008 VDatum-grid can be used as an alternative to RDNAPTRANS™2008 to transform geographic ETRS89-coordinates to projected RD-coordinates with grid correction applied and NAP-heights.

Note that, although the resulting RD/NAP and ETRS89 coordinates from the transformation will be correct, geographic Bessel-1841 coordinates will differ in both procedures and should only be considered as an intermediate result.

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! 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.
