OpenDragon Now Free and Open Source

  • Rating12345

The Global Software Institute is pleased to announce that the well-known OpenDragon geoinformatics software is now available for free download anywhere in the world. (In the past, OpenDragon was  available only in a few countries.) During the next few months, OpenDragon will also fulfill the promise of its name and become open source.
As you probably already know, OpenDragon offers a full suite of image analysis and raster GIS capabilities including image enhancement, supervised and unsupervised classification, geometric correction, measurement and statistics, vector capture and display, slope, aspect and buffer calculations and multi-criterion decision making. OpenDragon also includes the OpenDragon Toolkit, which allows users who can program in C to extend the software functionality.
Schools, colleges and universities need robust, high quality software for geoinformatics teaching and research. Commercial software is frequently too expensive, especially for lesser developed countries, while ‘home grown’ software is frequently buggy or incomplete. OpenDragon fills the gap by providing a wide range of core geoinformatics functions in an integrated, easy-to-use package. The Toolkit is especially useful for faculty and graduate students who need to develop and evaluate their own algorithms. Read More
