A free, open source software for 3D geophysical data analysis and visualization.

Opticks is an expandable remote sensing and imagery analysis software platform. Opticks was originally developed by Ball Aerospace for the US Air Force, specifically the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) starting in the Spring of 2000. It was created for hyperspectral analysis, designed to be easier to use than ENVI, and meant to be used for non-literal exploitation.

SAGA (System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses), is a GIS software designed for an easy and effective implementation of spatial algorithms. It is a comprehensive, growing set of geoscientific methods and provides an easily approachable user interface with many visualisation options, and runs under Windows and Linux operating systems.

GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System), is a free GIS software suite used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics and maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS GIS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

The Polarimetric SAR Data Processing and Educational Tool aims to facilitate the accessibility and exploitation of multi-polarised SAR datasets including those from ESA (Envisat ASAR Alternating Polarisation mode products and Sentinel-1) and Third Party Missions (ALOS-1 PALSAR, ALOS-2 PALSAR, COSMO-SkyMed, RADARSAT-2, RISAT, TerraSAR-X and Tandem-X).

Orfeo ToolBox (OTB) is an open-source C++ library for remote sensing image processing, distributed under the CeCILL-v2 license. It has been initiated and funded by CNES (French space agency) in the frame of a program named ORFEO to prepare, accompany and promote the use and the exploitation of the images derived from Pléiades satellites (PHR).

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.

E-foto Software possess photogrammetric functionalities that allow the development of professional topographic tridimentional mapping projects, by using as data sources aerial photogrammetric images obtained by both analog cameras and digital sensors.
