[gdal-dev] NITF API for GDAL based tools

[Gong, Shawn (Contractor)]

hi list,

One of my colleagues mentioned that General Dynamics AIS released some
of their NITF API software to the opensource domain in March, calling it
NITRO (http://nitro-nitf.sourceforge.net/).  This API is in use for
General Dynamics' projects and having GDAL-based tools (e.g. OpenEV)
being compatible with the products from the GD DoD applications would be
desirable.

Is there any current effort in the GDAL community to build NITRO into
GDAL? 

thanks,
Shawn
