IntroductionOrfeo ToolBox

I Open-source remote sensing software developed byCNES since 2006

I Roadmap driven by ORFEO program (frame)

For Pleiades en-usersI OTB = C++ API = developer oriented

I From the begining: also need for ready-to-use tools

This talkI Tells the story of these tools

I From the early applications to Monteverdi 2.0

The old OTB-Applications package (2007 – 2009)

I Side OTB package created in 2007

I Small tools with graphical user interface

I Demonstrating single functions of the library

I Not meant for operational use

I No consistency between the tools (GUI, parameters,behaviour . . . )

MotivationsI End-users oriented softwareI Funded by CNES Departement

of Strategy and Programs

I For capacity building and learning

I Main interface + processingmodules

EvolutionI Usage grew far beyond the

initial scope

I From 2010 to 2012: mainplatform for integration ofOTB processes

I In 2011: Monteverdibecomes Pleiades-ready(JPEG2000 support)

Perspectives

The OTB applications revamped (2012 - )Motivation

I Monteverdi : swiss-knife for small remote sensing tasks

I But: can not be used for heavy or batch processing

I Can not inter-operate with other systems

Revamping

I Set of tools each dedicated to specific tasks (classification,segmentation . . . )

I Separate the processing chain from the interface: Writeonce, use everywhere

I Available interfaces: command-line, auto-generated QT,python . . .

# Import the otb applications packageimport otbApplication

Why and how ?Why ?

I Old-fashioned look & feel of MonteverdiI Duplication of functions Monteverdi vs. Applications

I Limitations of Monteverdi

How ?I Ambitious road-map

I Rework from scratch with a QT interfaceI Processing based on applications onlyI Up-to-date navigationI Innovative functions

I Short iterative development cycles with users feedback

PerspectivesI OTB end-users oriented tools have been constantly

improving since 2006I Monteverdi 2.0 is still in an early development stage:

I First experimental version released on 03.2013I Only visualisation and navigation

I Next release on 06.2013I Database managerI Link with applications

I There is still a lot planned & missing:I Multi-image display (flip, transparency . . . )I GIS layers displayI Processing history and replayI Images tagging and bookmarking . . . .
