Re: [udig-devel] Image processing routines (and the BEAM software)
|
We have not had time to build binaries for OSSIM yet. We have then
on linux and it works wonderful, however right now it is a renderer
and the image processing does not have a UI counterpart.
With regards to the BEAM project, a plugin could be built for uDig
and distributed via a update site, but it could not be distributed
with uDig since uDig uses the LGPL license. However, if you've every
used the update manager then you'd know how easy it is to use.
A full merger couldn't be done unless BEAM changes its license...
That is my understanding at least.

Hi all,
I would like to have some feedback on the attempts so far from
people to add image processing functionality to uDig.
I have seen some posts on integrating OSSIM for instance (!?).
I was wondering if routines developed for the BEAM software (ESA
funded) could be integrated into uDig. The BEAM software is
released under GPL and seems powerful, fast and modular. Couldn't a
collaboration be established between the two projects to benefit of
the flexible architecture of uDig/Eclipse and of the uDig community
while using the powerful routines developed by BEAM? BEAM is all
developed in Java and the source code is available through the
installer. I do not see an active developer community for the
project though.
A merger may result in a set of powerful, fully Java based image
processing routines.

Looking foward for some ideas and suggestions here,
Ciao,
