System/Review/Refactoring/Testing

Performance tests for OTB (orthorectification for different sensors, reading and writing polygons,...) to be able to assess impact of modifications (OTB code and external librairies).
Code review for GDALImageIO
Code review for DrawPathList and integration of DrawPointSetImageFilter (general reflexion is required on displaying vector data)
Review JPEG2000 usage to get correct performances
Wavelet transform (streaming !)
~~JPG and PNG reading could be done with gdal to handle associated georeference information~~
ImageReader should be capable to access the different images when the product contains several images (cf bug #20). Note: there is several possibilities: return an image list, add a parameter to the ImageReader to specify which image to return, etc.
~~Remove libSVM output during learning (.........*......)~~
Continuous for a Windows platform
Investigate FFTW problem when running multiple instances of the otb::OverlapSaveConvolutionImageFilter.
Integrate the Geometry Library.
~~Test the Pleaides format (JP2K & DIMAP) available in LargeInput/PLEIADES --> 2 products are available (SENSOR and ORTHO)<del>~~
Test the reading of the grass format (cf mail on otb-user)
Consistent and homogeous channel numbers in OTB methods - The first channel is number 0 or number 1?
<del> Move the SpatialObjectDXFReader closer to the VectorDataIO hierarchy.
Add light Smoke test suite: about 100 tests, <1min compilation, <1min execution, at least one per otblib, without the need for otb-data (possibility to use otb logo in .h and checksum on the output image). ON by default.
~~Extend DEM management (geotiff, IGN DEM format...).~~
~~Automatic binary packages generation of Linux/windows/Mac (stable and development version)~~
ImageListToVectorImage (and vectorimagetoimagelist) must be threaded
Create the '--compare-image-estimators' in order to compute and compare estimators (MSRN,RMSE,...) between baseline and result.
Missing tests
Remove the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES from the main cmakelists and move them with the corresponding target_link_librairies (ex: include for mapnik in Code/Common/CMakeLists.txt) to avoid full recompilation.
~~Update to libsvm 3.0~~
Add contribution on GPU programming
~~Integrate dev version of libLAS (which compiles fine with gcc4.5 and now has a CMake based build system) : fix issues with libLAS developers about GDAL/GeoTiff import~~
Code review of otbImageFileReader : avoid multiple calls of ossimImageHandler and getImageGeometry ( time consuming for Spot5 model)
~~Profiling upon the computation of covariance shows that StreamingStatisticsVectorImageFilter is not effective (ffedback from L Mercier LPG Grenoble)~~
OTB must be able to work with the maximum of external libraries : ITK4.x, OSSIM...
OTB internal applications must handle extractROI on their output. (give the possibility to add tests about Optical and SAR calibration applications)

OTB-Applications

~~Redesign and enrich the commandLineArgumentParser in a more generic way to be able to produce other type of GUI (Monteverdi modules, Zoo Project config file : link zoo_project).~~

Monteverdi

Finish User guide Documentation ( description for each module)
Zoom in the Fine correlation module
Export/Import workflow in Monteverdi
~~Convert Monteverdi to a QGIS plugin~~
Add local descriptors on regions in the Feature extraction module (Flusser, skewness, kurtosis, mean,elongation, variance, principal axis...)
QT GUI
~~Color mapping module (using OTB color maps filter)~~
~~Module to import a DEM image in a given projection~~
Smoothing module with different methods (done in Applications)
Road extraction module
Warping with respect to a deformation field
Spectral Viewer : add input text selection to band selection sliders
Monteverdi pipeline could carry static objects: standard quick look, scenario...
Add a close dataset button in monteverdi

Wrapping

wrap StreamingStatisticsVectorImageFilter (last try : error when wrapping vnl_svd due to inline function)

Functionalities

Draw shapefiles with country borders in the image extent tab of the ortho-rectification application: Can use a vector layer over the viewer components
Use Otsu thresholding in the object counting application
Import examples into the object counting application
Network extraction application: Display segments with a different color according to the input type used
Network extraction application: Fix the filter updating problem (for now pointer is reinitialized for each computation)
Supervised classification application : add active learning, model selection and validation, classifier fusion.
Easy translation between otbVectorData and PolygonList, pointSet, pathList etc.
~~ICA~~
Simple concat of images and more
Soil line estimation
Add streaming capabilities to DEMToImageGenerator and DEMToOrthoImageGenerator. This should be an easy case (no boundaries) ideal for somebody who wants to get familiar with the streaming process in OTB.
Add the possibility to display a RGB composition from the features list in otbFeatureExtractionAppli.
Create a DEM characteristics generator (slope, aspect, etc.)
Integrate random convolution-based disparity map estimation in library and in fine registration application
~~Read a VectorImage of type std::complex<>~~
~~Support for hdf format~~
~~Viewer : Handle the drag on the Full widget~~
Trees and Tree Stand Extraction Application
