Welcome to the CEOS
Open Source Software Inventory
The CEOS Open Source Software Inventory is an application to track software projects relating to CEOS' mission of facilitating the use and exchange of Earth observation data. Here you will find a number of software packages that relate to the acquisition, processing, analysis, exchange, etc. of Earth observation data. Most of the projects here are open-source and available for use by the scientific community.

Sentinel -3 Toolbox
Sentinel -3 Toolbox Version: 6.0.6
The Sentinel-3 Toolbox consists of a rich set of visualisation, analysis and processing tools for the exploitation of OLCI and SLSTR data from the upcoming Sentinel-3 mission. As a multi-mission remote sensing toolbox, it also supports the ESA missions Envisat (MERIS & AATSR), ERS (ATSR), SMOS as well as third party data from MODIS (Aqua and Terra), Landsat (TM), ALOS (AVNIR & PRISM) and others. The various tools can be run from an intuitive desktop application or via a command-line interface. A rich application programming interface allows for development of plugins using Java or Python.

PulseWaves
PulseWaves Version: 0.3 rev 11
PulseWaves is an open, vendor-neutral, stand-alone, LAS-compatible full waveform LiDAR standard. The latest PulseWaves version is 0.3 (revision 11) and a DLL for writing and reading is available (including sample programs). The PulseTools folder also contains the first six PulseTools pulseinfo.exe, pulseview.exe, pulse2pulse.exe, pulsezip.exe, pulsesort.exe, and pulseextract.exe can parse various full waveform LiDAR formats (e.g. LVIS, LAS 1.3 FWF, GeoLas Waveform, and PulseWaves).

PPB
PPB Version: NA
Probabilistic Patch-Based filter: Matlab/Mex software to perform iterative non-local filtering for reducing: additive white Gaussian noise or, multiplicative speckle noise, i.e Nakagami-Rayleigh distributions (NL-SAR). This work has been achieved by Charles Deledalle supervised by Florence Tupin and Loïc Denis. The aim was to adapt the Non-Local means (NL means) filter to SAR images. Then, an efficient filter as been designed, able to cope with non Gaussian noise, multi-dimensionnal images and especially to the various existing SAR images.

CIMES
CIMES Version: NA
CIMES-FISHEYE is a package of free programs for the analysis of hemispherical photographs (HP) of forest canopies, to extract key canopy attributes like solar radiation indices, leaf area index, canopy openness, etc. These programs offer a unique set of features for film and digital hemispherical photography: Ability to process both grey-toned and classified images A variety of algorithms to invert gap fraction data Values for sky segments and overall values Works on any range of zenith and azimuth view angles Single photosites or whole plots (transects, grids, etc.) Correction for slope (LAI and solar radiation) Tools to account for foliage clumping Spherical statistics for gap fraction distribution PAR interception, sun-fleck dynamics.
