July 10th, 2012· This version adds full support for Pléiades imagery, a new set of classes based on GDAL/OGR to handle large vector datasets efficiently, a complete framework to perform segmentation, and an extended suite of filters and associated applications to go from raw stereo pairs all the way to a real cartographic Digital Elevation Model.
February 1st, 2012· Large JPEG2000 file (Pleiades-like) support and Pleiades metadata handling.
· Efficient JPEG2000 visualization and ROI decompression tools in Monteverdi.
· A revamp of otb applications in a generic and scalable framework: launch applications from the command line, from an auto-generated QT GUI, from Python, from within QGis, etc.
· There are many new algorithms: Dimensionality Reduction (ICA, PCA, MNF, MAF, etc.), change detection (MAD), Hyperspectral Unmixing, elevation map from stereo data, compare segmentation with a ground truth (Hoover), etc.
