Manuel,<br>
ORFEO Toolbox does sound like a positive addition for OSGeo-Live.
Thank you for considering being included.<br>
<br>
A few questions before moving forward:<br>
<br>
1. OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use rather
than libraries that are included into other applications. Does ORFEO
Toolbox have a user interface (possibly command line interface) that
a user can interact with and try out ORFEO Toolbox?<br>
<br>
2. OSGeo-Live is memory and disk constrained.<br>
Can ORFEO Toolbox run in 512 Meg or RAM?<br>
<br>
How much disk space will be required to install ORFEO Toolbox and a
suitable example application.<br>
<br>
What datasets would be required for a demonstration? Can you make
use of the naturalearth dataset already installed, or would you need
something else?<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Example_Datasets">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Example_Datasets</a><br>
<br>
3. You mention that ORFEO is in OSGeo incubation. I can't see ORFEO
listed at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osgeo.org">http://osgeo.org</a> . Have you started incubation, or are you
on the waiting list to start incubation?<br>
<br>
4. Stability is very important to us on OSGeo-Live. Do you have a
bug free, stable release, which has been rolled out to production in
a number of locations?<br>
<br>
5. I notice the CeCILL licence you use is not listed on OSI list of
licences. Has license been discussed and resolved on the
OSGeo-Incubation list?<br>
<br>
6. Do you have a person (maybe yourself?) prepared to volunteer to
be the OSGeo-Live representative, who will take responsibility for
liaising between the project and OSGeo-Live and make sure that
scripts and documentation are updated for each release.<br>
<br>

ORFEO Toolbox (OTB) is distributed as an open source library
of image processing algorithms. OTB is implemented in C++
and is mainly based on the medical image processing
library <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.itk.org/"
style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"
target="_blank">ITK</a> and offers particular
functionalities for remote sensing image processing in
general and for high spatial resolution images in
particular. OTB is distributed under a free software license<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cecill.info/licences/Licence_CeCILL_V2-en.html"
style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"
target="_blank">CeCILL</a> (similar to GPL). The library
is intensively tested on several platforms as Linux, Unix,
Windows and Mac. (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p style="margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;"><br>

The library use also other OSGeo Open Source softwares :

<p style="margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
Most functionalities are also adapted to process huge images
using streaming and multi-threading as often as possible.</p>
<p style="margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">Among other, OTB
provides a number of heavily documented functionalities as</p>

<li>filtering: blurring, denoising, enhancement;</li>
<li>feature extraction: interest points, alignments, lines,

<li>image segmentation: region growing, watershed, level

<li>change detection.</li>

advantage of the streaming and multi-threading
