[GRASS-dev] Introduction and GSoC

[Pierre Roudier]

Hi,

As a user, I would also find the integration of say OTB in GRASS being a
plus - a very general segmentation algorithm like the watershed is provided
by OTB and is a handy tool at times. OTB being based on VTK, maybe you
could make use of some of Soeren's work on the vtk-grass-bridge?
