- image access: optimized read/write access for most of remote sensing image formats, meta-data access, visualization;
- standard remote sensing preprocessing: radiometric corrections, orthorectification; filtering: blurring, denoising, enhancement; feature extraction: interest points, alignments, lines; image segmentation: region growing, watershed, level sets classification: K-means, SVM, Markov random fields; change detection; information extraction for integration in GIS and mapping systems.
