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

remotesensing. org founded in 1997 Federal Funding and Support Multiple Certifications and Evaluations Systems and Tools are being based on OSSIM Open Source Projects

Open Source Leverage Software Libraries Tools Systems Relational Databases Visualizatio n

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
