I joined the EVASION team in september 2006 in order to work on real time rendering of natural landscapes as a whole. I'm interested in the animation and realistic rendering of terrain, atmosphere, ocean, vegetation, rivers, clouds, etc. I'm looking for real-time and scalable algorithms allowing users to navigate freely anywhere in very large landscapes (up to whole planets), from ground to space, without visible transitions.
GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library Select language: [English][Russian][Portuguese][French/Francais] GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful commandline utilities for data translation and processing. The NEWS page describes the November 2009 GDAL/OGR 1.6.3 release.
Delny is a Python package which can be used to make a Delaunay triangulation from a set of n-dimensional points. It is effectively a Python interface to libqhull, the C library of the Qhull program, but (currently) restricted to Delaunay triangulation. It was first developed to use in a mesh generator developed as dissertation at the University of Southampton with Hans Fangohr as supervisor. This very specific application area was the reason for the limited functionality of the libqhull wrapper, which in turn is likely the reason that there is useable code available.
Opticks is an expandable remote sensing and imagery analysis software platform that is free and open source. If you've used other commercial tools like: ERDAS IMAGINE, RemoteView, ENVI, or SOCET GXP, then you need to give Opticks a try. Unlike other competing tools, you can add capability to Opticks by creating an extension. Opticks provides the most advanced extension capability of any other remote sensing tool on the market.
JSatTrak is a Satellite tracking program written in Java. It allows you to predict the position of any satellite in real time or in the past or future. It uses advanced SGP4/SDP4 algorithms developed by NASA/NORAD or customizable high precision solvers to propagate satellite orbits. The program also allows for easy updating of current satellite tracking data via CelesTrak.com. Because this application was written in Java, it should run on almost any operating system or directly off the web using java web start!
Welcome to World Wind Geo: The Eclipse Geo browser. The Geospatial Web or Geoweb is a relatively new term that implies the merging of geographical (location-based) information with the abstract information that currently dominates the Internet. World Wind Geo is an experimental geo browser built on top of:
