  Description     : The OSSIM library

 Open Source Software Image Map (OSSIM) is a high performance engine for
 remote sensing, image processing, geographical information systems and
 photogrammetry. It has been actively developed since 1996.
 .
 Designed as a series of high performance software libraries, it is
 written in C++ employing the latest techniques in object-oriented
 software design.
 .
 The library provides advanced remote sensing, image processing, and
 geo-spatial functionality. A quick summary of OSSIM functionality
 includes ortho-rectification, precision terrain correction, rigorous
 sensor models, very large mosaics, and cross sensor fusions, a wide
 range of map projections anddatums, and a large range of commercial
 and government data formats. The architecture of the library supports
 parallel processing with mpi, a dynamic plugin architecture, and
 dynamically connectable objects allowing rapid prototyping of custom
 image processing chains.

 This package include the core OSSIM library and the basic command-line
 tools. Other related package (such as Ossim Planet or Imagelinker) 
 will come as successive packages.
