[Live-demo] ORFEO Toolbox in OSGeoLive?

[Manuel Grizonnet]

Hi all,

the SVN access is to the osgeolive repository works, thank you.

-I've updated the install script for otb.
-I've made few modifications to the overview and the quickstart pages
(taking into account Cameron's comments).

Regards,

Manuel

>> Image Processing¶
>>
>> ORFEO Toolbox library (OTB) is a high performance library for image
>> processing targeted on remote sensing.
>> *Cameron: I suggest a minor rewording:
>> ORFEO Toolbox library (OTB) is a high performance [geographic image
>> processing] library targeted on targeting remote sensing.*
>>
>> *Cameron: Could you please include 1 to 3 sentences describing what Image
>> Processing is and maybe a sentence describing what remote sensing is. What
>> are the sort of things that Image Processing is all about? The reader is
>> likely to know very little about geospatial, and won't know what the unique
>> issues are regargd They may be a manager, they may be a general programmer
>> without a geospatial background. "Geospatial Image Processing is the act of
>> ... It is typically used to ... "*
>>
>> OTB has been funded the French Space Agency (CNES) in the frame of the
>> Methodological Part of the ORFEO Accompaniement Program
>>
>> *Cameron: Again, I suggest generalising the description above. It is good
>> to mention the French Space Agency, but is probably too detailed to mention
>> specific programs as 98% of new users won't be interested in it.
>> *
>>
>> to prepare, accompany and promote the use and the exploitation of the
>> images derived from Pleiades (PHR) and Cosmo-Skymed (CSK) systems.
>>
>> *Cameron:  You might want to describe the types of images collected, and
>> use as an example to illustrate your description above.
>>
>> *It has been actively developed since 2006.
>> *
>> Cameron: Can add more words about the stability of OTB. Maybe say that it
>> has been "deployed in production since ...". Maybe mention the breath of
>> high profile users of OTB?
>> *
>>
>> OTB is distributed as an open source library of image processing
>> algorithms. OTB is based on the medical image processing library ITK and
>> offers particular functionalities for remote sensing image processing in
>> general and for high spatial resolution images in particular.
>> Core Features
>>
>>    - image access: optimized read/write access for most of remote sensing
>>    image formats, meta-data access, visualization;
>>    - orthorectification and Map Projection
>>    - calibration functionnalities
>>    - *Cameron: Say either "calibration" or "calibration functions"*
>>     - image fusion
>>    - filtering: blurring, denoising, enhancement;
>>    - feature extraction: interest points, alignments, lines;
>>    - object detection
>>    - image segmentation: region growing, watershed, level sets;
>>    - classification: K-means, SVM, Markov random fields;
>>    - object-based image analysis
>>    - geospatial analysis
>>    - SAR data analysis
>>    - change detection.

>>  Details¶
>>
>> *Website:* http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/
>>
>> *Licence:* CeCILL
>>
>> *Cameron: As CeCILL is not directly OSI approved, I suggested adding
>> "(CeCILL is compatible with GPL and enhanced to address French law)"*
>>
>> *Software Version:* 3.8.0
>>
>> *Supported Platforms:* Linux, Mac, Windows
>>
>> *API Interfaces:* C++
>>
>> *Commercial Support:* http://www.osgeo.org/search_profile
>>  Quickstart¶
>>
>>    - Quickstart documentation
>>
>>  *Cameron: I've only quickly skimmed the Quickstart and haven't had time
>> to do a proper review. However my first stand-out comment is that the
>> Quickstart should not be describing the C++ interface as part of the OTB
>> library. (In general, our users will not be programmers.) Instead just
>> include the Monteverdi description (probably expanded) *
