OSSIM Technology Overview • Mark Lucas
“Awesome” • Open Source Software Image Map (OSSIM)
Design Goals • Open Source Software Infrastructure • Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, and Image Processing Technologies • Provide for Rapid Prototyping and High Performance Computing
Open Source Projects • remotesensing.org founded in 1997 • Federal Funding and Support • Multiple Certifications and Evaluations • Systems and Tools are being based on OSSIM
Open Source Leverage • Software Libraries • Tools • Systems • Relational Databases • Visualization
OSSIM Reviews • Used in the Intelligence and Defense Communities • NGA Certified Map Projections and Transformations • RPC Universal Sensor Model validated on NTM • Validated in NGA CELTIC Pathfinder 2003
Key Features • Dynamic Image Chains • Non-Destructive Parameter based on demand processing • Rigorous Sensor Modeling • Hyperspectral Capable • Parallel Processing (mpi) • Dynamic Plugin Architecture
Platform Independent • Linux • IBM AIX - (xlc compiler) • Mac OSX • Solaris • Windows
Image Chains • Dynamically Connectable Image Chains • Source > Models > Filters > Combiners > Output • Parameter Based, Non-Destructive Processing
Dynamic Plugins • Supports External Plugins • Dynamically Loaded at Runtime • Simple keyword based interface
