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.

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.

Polarimetric SAR Data Processing and Educational Tool (POLSARPRO)
Polarimetric SAR Data Processing and Educational Tool (POLSARPRO) Version: 5.0.4
The Polarimetric SAR Data Processing and Educational Tool aims to facilitate the accessibility and exploitation of multi-polarised SAR datasets. A wide-range of tutorials and comprehensive documentation provide a grounding in polarimetry and polarimetric interferometry necessary to stimulate research and development of scientific applications that utilise such techniques; the toolbox of processing functions offers users the capability to implement them.
