[OSGeo Africa] FOSS GIS

[Ned Horning]

Frank,

 

You might want to demonstrate uDig or gvSIG to show a desktop application
written in Java. You should also note that MultiSpec is not open source. It
is freeware. Another open source image processing package worth looking at
is OpenEV. The FWTools version is the one I would recommend. 

 

I think of OSSIM as a library and ImageLinker as an application that uses
the OSSIM library. Much more effort goes into developing the library than
developing ImageLinker and the capabilities of OSSIM are far greater than
what is available within ImageLinker.

 

Hope this helps.

 

All the best, 

 

Ned

Hi,

I'm planning a seminar on FOSS GIS software, which I'll be presenting to
GIS/Remote Sensing students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I'll be
demonstrating GRASS, QGIS, MultiSpec, Spring and MapWindow but would like to
know whether there any other packages worth looking at? Anyone have any
suggestions?
 
I'm also a bit confused about OSSIM. Is it a standalone program or is it a
collection of library routines? The OSSIM webpages are not all that clear.

Regards,
Frank Sokolic.
