Opticks has debuted from Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. This is the company’s first open source software project for the detailed analysis of remote sensing data. The company hopes to gain access to new fields that will benefit from the processing and exploration of remote sensing data. Opticks is used by scientists and analysts within the Department of Defense (DoD) to analyze remote sensing data and to produce actionable intelligence. Opticks supports Imagery, Motion Imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multi-spectral and hyper-spectral remote sensing data.
Over 100 users have already registered at the Opticks web site. Opticks also allows software developers to extend the product’s capabilities or tailor Opticks to support new types of remote sensing data. To become a part of the open source community, download the Ball Aerospace Opticks software. Ball Aerospace has provided support in exploitation of remote sensing data for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, for more than 23 years. This has resulted in Ball’s proven expertise in developing algorithms and software tools used to process and analyze the data. The NASIC intelligence products that result from Ball’s capabilities directly support on-going military operations, national decision makers and other members of the intelligence community—Dayton, Ohio
