 Dear all,

CNES is happy to announce the release of OTB 2.8, code name "¹§Ï²·¢²Æ" (Gong Xi
Fa Cai).

The main additions to this version are both on the library and the
applications.

End users will be happy to find 3 very useful new applications:
1. Object Counting <
http://blog.orfeo-toolbox.org/uncategorized/counting-objects>
2. Fine Registration <
http://blog.orfeo-toolbox.org/uncategorized/fine-registration>
3. Road Extraction <
http://blog.orfeo-toolbox.org/preview/road-extraction-revamped>

A very user-friendly installer for the whole set of applications is provided
for Windows users.

Library users will be interested about:
1. A new implementation (faster, more robust) of the SIFT algorithm
2. The Speed-Up Robust Features (SURF) kindly contributed by
Communications & Syst¨¨mes
3. The Mean Shift filtering and clustering algorithm
4. The out-of-the-box support for KML and OpenStreetMaps
5. The support for lidar data using libLAS <http://liblas.org/>

As usual, you can go to <http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/> and follow the
download link or get directly to Sourceforge
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/orfeo-toolbox/> and get the packages
there. Full source code, Software Guide and Windows binaries are
available.

OTB is the only open source library which makes available a full set of
building blocks for implementing remote sensing image processing going
from low level to advanced map applications. All this thanks to, among
others,
ITK, GDAL and OSSIM.

>From sensor models to GoogleEarth format compatibility, from image
filtering to Support Vector Machine classification and regression, from
binary mathematical morphology to SIFT matching, from rigid registration
to PDE-based disparity map estimation, and much more.

periodic updates about OTB.

Best regards,

J. Inglada
