[Ottawa_users] - Optics

[Javed Syed]

Bonjour Fabien,
Opticks abstract enclosed for the GIS day.
Ball Aerospace developed
Opticks in December 2007 as a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) project that
allows remote sensing TDW Data Analyst to gain practical knowledge and develop
image processing skills in many of the digital image processing functions.
Opticks provides capability in areas such as: image enhancement, spectral
signature processing, multispectral, hyperspectral and Synthetic Aperture RADAR
image analysis. Optick is an extensible RSI analysis desktop application. The
application and extensions are written in C ++ and licensed under Lesser
General Public License (LGPL). Opticks is free to use,
distribute and modify. The LGPL license ensures that once you download
Opticks, that version always stays free and open-source. Application of Opticks, as part of TDW FOSS GeoStack, for Mineral Explorations will be discussed.
Cheers
Javed TDW Syed

Subject: [Ottawa_users] Meeting with Scott about GIS Day and Software	Freedom Day

Hello gentlemen and ladies,

Thanks Javed for having a nice table on the patio of F&F tonight! Scott confirmed the fact that we should be able to use one of the lab in Carleton University. He will have another meeting with people from Carleton around mid August. What would help is for all the people presenting to submit an abstract during the first week of August so that we can help our case. As a reminder, here are the people that will be presenting so far :


Adreeta,  QGIS Customization
Regie,  Balloon Mapping
Richard,  Open Street Map
Fabien,  PostGIS 2.0
Javed,   Opticks
(As it stands today, presentations will happen between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM)



Regarding Software Freedom Day, if people want to do presentations, they are welcome. We encourage presentations that will be different from what will be done during the GIS day.Here are a couple of suggestions that I would have done before. Feel free to add more to the list.

Google Refine, a tool for fast and repeatable data clean-up. (http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/)


R, the statistical software (http://www.r-project.org/)
Open Trip Planner, an Public Transit Trip Planner (https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/wiki)


PGRouting, the routing library (http://pgrouting.org/)

For example, I hope I can use R to do a principal component analysis using some data from Ottawa and show a map as an end result to the students. I am open to do something else based on what people want to get involved in. The goal is to show our audience how open source tools can empower them. Regie could also do a talk about the Canopy Tree Project, which is really cool.

Cheers,
