GIS and RS Software

Links to opensource Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing software

Geographic Information System Software

Websites with GIS software

The FreeGIS Project: Provides software overview on Free Geographic Information Systems (our web site). Communication on developments, plans, infos on Free GIS Software and Free Geo-Data.

MapTools.org: Hosts mapping related open source projects.

OSGeo.org: Hosts and supports various open source software projects related to remote sensing, GIS, mapping and advanced image processing.

Open Source GIS: Attempt to build a complete index of Open Source / Free GIS related software projects.

Web mapping

FlashIMS: Generic, fast and easy to customize Flash Macromedia client for ArcIMS (ESRI). Developed as open source coordinated by Jan Bliki (EEA).

Mapserver: MapServer is an OpenSource development environment for constructing spatially enabled Internet-web applications.

nMap: nMap is a simple-to-use map renderer that renders GIS vector data and WMS for use in web and desktop applications. Open source code written in #C.

Desktop gis

Mapwindow: The MapWindow application is a free, extensible, geographic information system (GIS) that can be used in many ways.

GRASS: Commonly referred to as GRASS, this is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

Development

MapWinGis: At the core of the MapWindow application is the MapWinGIS ActiveX control. As a licensed user of this control, you can program custom mapping functionality directly into your own software.

Remote Sensing software

GDAL Utilities: Raster utilities (conversion, re-projections, etc).

MultiSpec: MultiSpec results from an on-going multiyear research effort which is intended to define robust and fundamentally based technology for analyzing multispectral and hyperspectral image data, and to transfer this technology to the user community in as rapid a manner as possible.
