[Live-demo] ORFEO Toolbox in OSGeoLive?

Hi,

Natural Earth is a very low resolution dataset.
A lot of OTB algorithms are targeted (and only make sense) for high/very 
high resolution imagery.
So it seems very relevant to include some extracts of one or two high 
resolution satellite imagery.

My 2 cents...
