10 Open Source Remote Sensing Software Packages - GIS Geography

There has been a big shift over the years to build software in an open, collaborative manner. This software is made available to the public and is called open source. There is no exception for open source remote sensing software. Satellite and aerial imagery provides answers for environmental change, weather forecasting, disaster management, food security and other remote sensing applications. Remote sensing software processes images and provides solutions to local or global issues. In an open source environment, useful remote sensing techniques can be performed such as filtering data, performing classification and even radar decomposition. A list of open source remote sensing software The choices for commercial remote sensing software has increased over the years.

Collaborative Mapping & Crowdsourcing - Map Makerpedia

Introduction Collaborative mapping and crowdsourcing are two methods of generating content on the internet, which involves contributions from a large, disparate group of individuals. These methods rely upon web applications that allow people to upload information easily and allow many others to view and react to this information. There are several tools available which allow users to create and edit web content, such as tagging tools, wiki software (Wikipedia), and web-based spatial data editors (e.g., Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Map Maker, OpenLayers). Map Content on the Web A vast amount of geodata is available on the internet, through on-line maps, web services and virtual globes.
