Open Source GIS Software

Import in Blender most commons GIS data format, Shapefile vector, raster image, geotiff DEM, OpenStreetMap XML. There are a lot of possibilities to create a 3D terrain from geographic data with BlenderGIS, check the Flowchart to have an overview. Display dynamics web maps inside Blender 3d view, requests for OpenStreetMap data (buildings, roads, etc.), get true elevation data from the NASA SRTM mission. Manage georeferencing information of a scene, compute a terrain mesh by Delaunay triangulation, drop objects on a terrain mesh, make terrain analysis using shader nodes, set up new cameras from geotagged photos, set up a camera to render with Blender a new georeferenced raster.

GeoTools is an open source (LGPL) Java code library which provides standards compliant methods for the manipulation of geospatial data. GeoTools is an Open Source Geospatial Foundation project. The GeoTools library data structures are based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications.

NASA World Wind is a graphically rich 3D virtual globe for use on desktop computers running Windows. It combines NASA imagery generated from satellites that have produced Blue Marble, Landsat 7, SRTM, MODIS and more.

EPSILON is a powerful Open Source wavelet image compressor. The project is aimed on parallel and robust image processing.

Earth3D is a program to display the earth as a 3D globe (including heightfields) in real-time. One can zoom until cities become visible. It uses huge datasets that are loaded on demand over the internet. It is possible to embed dynamic data into the view

The Orfeo Toolbox is a C++ library for high resolution remote sensing image processing. It is developped by CNES in the frame of the ORFEO program. More information is available at www.orfeo-toolbox.org It is based on the medical image processing library ITK and offers particular functionalities for remote sensing image processing in general and for high spatial resolution images in particular. Targeted algorithms for high resolution optical images (SPOT, Quickbird, Worldview, Landsat, Ikonos), hyperspectral sensors (Hyperion) or SAR (TerraSarX, ERS, Palsar) are available. Orfeo ToolBox has three main access depending on the category of user: write processing chains in C++ using existing filters or creating new ones, use the OTB applications, which is a plugin-based framework allowing to extend high-level processing chains from various environment ( command-line, QT, QGis, Python....) or use Monteverdi, a software for everyday life image manipulation and analysis.

surfit is an open source and free gridding and contouring software. surfit can do interpolation/approximation of points, contours and surfaces, can take fault lines and trend surfaces into account, can use inequalities and other conditions. Supports a lo

A C library for reading and writing BSB format image files. Typically used for nautical charts, BSB image files use the .KAP extension and store cartographic information in addition to a run-length encoded raster image. Includes bsb2tif & tif2bsb tools.

A Java library to parse Garmin maps (IMG). Contains a simple map browser.

GEOMS2 is a geostatistics and geosciences modeling software. Provides interface for grid (mesh), point, surface and data (non-spatial) objects. It has a 3D viewer and 2D plots using the well known Python engines Mayavi and Matplotlib. It has several functions to manipulate your data as well as provide univariate and multivariate analysis. NOTE: The software is still an early beta. Please tell us if you found a bug.

WW2D allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps and image from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more info about our planet.

Mapyrus is software to plot Geographic Information System data to PostScript, PDF, SVG and web image files. Mapyrus combines a BASIC-like scripting language, reading GIS datasets and running as either a utility program, a Java Servlet, or as a webser

A navigation system that displays street maps and tracks a vehicle using GPS. Specific locations can be selected by street address. Routes and tracks can be created, edited, and saved in GPX format. Runs on most POSIX systems, the iPAQ, and the Zaurus.

GPSdings (project name GPStools) is a set of free applications that let you manipulate and analyse GPS data from the command line.

Ycad is a library of CAD functions in Java. Currently only DXF is supported for reading, viewing and writing. The DXF drawing may be rendered to a Graphics object for printing or imaging.

GeOxygene aims at providing an open framework which implements OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic (GIS) applications. It is a open source contribution of the COGIT lab. at the IGN (the French National Mapping Agency).

This project contains Visual Studio .NET 2.0 Classes that implement the Google Earth API version 2.1. These classes do not use the Google Earth COM libraries, but rather generate KML based on the documented API at http://earth.google.com/kml

FlightTrack is a 2D/3D GPS track viewing software for light aviation pilots using MacOS X.

Implementation of an Interval Iterative Closest Point that uses intervals to found the global optimal solution. ICP can be used in vision technologies and photogrametry as pattern mathcing and as geometrical model finder.

A Java application to request calibrated raster maps from compatible web based map servers, and then save the maps in OziExplorer (.map) format.
