[Qgis-developer] Creating a Python plugin for OSSIM-QGIS

[Vipul Raheja]

Hi Developers,

I am a developer for OSSIM (Open Source Software Image Map). I am working
on creating Python wrappings for OSSIM and in order to make the
functionalities of OSSIM benefit other open source GIS software users,
particularly the QGIS users, I want to create a downloadable Python plugin
to make things easier in the same regard.

For now, what I have been able to do is create a _PyOssim.so library for
OSSIM (by doing the wrapping) using which one can access OSSIM functions
from a Python console using a simple "import pyossim" statement. Can anyone
guide me as to how should I proceed further towards creating the QGIS-OSSIM
Plugin?
I had a look at the PyQGIS cookbook but as far as I understood it, the
tutorial there seems to be tailor-made for simple plugins whereas this
shall provide a whole library of image processing functionality. Is
something like this possible?

Any help/guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
