[Qgis-user] Announcing the OrfeoToolbox plugin

[Julien Malik]

Hello,

Following on this recent annoucement, the necessary OrfeoToolbox 
binaries to run the modules in Qgis are available in the OSGeo4W 
distribution.

It is now straightforward to get the OrfeoToolbox up and running in Qgis 
on Windows machines.
Installation instructions [1] have been updated to reflect this.

Thanks to the OSGeo4W team to make this possible !

Best regards,
Julien

> This plugin is based on the already available "Processing Manager"

> It's a Python plugin which can be installed through the Python Plugin 
> Installer (but need a required OTB Python package installed on your 
> system).
> The plugin is hosted in the Faunalia repository, next to the 
> "Processing Manager" and the "SAGA Module interface" plugins.

> Installation instructions for the backend Python package are given in

> In particular, an OSGeo4W-compatible binary is provided on a nightly 
> basis at [4], so Windows users can install and test it in a few minutes.
> Testing it on Linux involves more work (see [3]), but we are working 
> on providing Ubuntu binary packages to ease the installation process 
> on this platform.

> The plugin provides access to a set of modules wrapping different kind

> As of now, modules are available to perform the following tasks :
> - P+XS Pan Sharpening
> - Orthorectification
> - Optical Calibration
> - KMeans clustering
> - SVM Supervised Classification
> - Mean Shift segmentation
> - Change Detection (Multivariate Alteration Detector algorithm)
> - Hyperspectral data unmixing
> - Filtering (mean, gaussian, anisotropic diffusion)
> - Raster conversion and scaling
>
> This is only the beginning and new modules will be added regularly to 
> expose most of the OTB functionnalities in easy to use application 
> modules.

> Many thanks to Camilo for providing the Processing Manager Framework, 
> and to Paolo and Giuseppe for helping on the plugin packaging.

> We will be glad to hear your feedback !
