3 | | OSSIM is a high performance software system for remote sensing, image processing, geographical information systems and photogrammetry. It is an open source software project and has been under active development since 1996. The lead developers for the project have years of experience in commercial and government remote sensing systems and applications. OSSIM is widely deployed in a number of private, federal and civilian agencies. The name OSSIM is a contrived acronym (Open Source Software Image Map) that is pronounced "awesome" – the acronym was established by our first government customer. |
| 3 | OSSIM is a powerful suite of geospatial libraries and applications used to process imagery, maps, terrain, and vector data. The software has been under active development since 1996 and is deployed across a number of private, federal and civilian agencies. Key features include: |
