well, GRASS is quite a big package, but it is probably the only
Free Software that provides you all the features you requested.

For simple visualization, there is Thuban, but it does not offer
digitizing and is still in development towards the first major release.

Then there are some Java tools: OpenMap, GeoTools and Deegree. 

Some other tools listed on FreeGIS might serve some of your needs
as well.

  Gee, you wouldn't happen to be trying to analyze Cydonia night-time
  multi-spectral IR, would you?  ;)

  Any luck in finding an appropriate tool?  If not, have you tried
  GRASS?  It's a bit clunky, but it's free and has a lot of features.

Cheers!

Actually yes. It is a puzzling controversy. In some ways the image in
question seems to be a degraded copy of the so called original NASA one,
but nobody has been able to duplicate it. The Enterprise photo looks
like it has compression artifacts in it that look like buildings but no
combination of effects so far has come up with them.

  It is.  Regardless of who is right, it'll be very interesting outcome.

  Actually the Enterprise version seems to be _better_ than the
  "official" UoA one.  I think there was speculation that the version
  that Laney got was an average of more than one IR image, thus
  cancelling out some noise.

  I've seen compression artifacts before, and those do not look like
  compression artifacts.  Compression artifacts do not _add_
  information; rather they tend to blur features, with the blurring in
  proportion to the feature frequency.  (Frequency, as in how many
  pixel changes occur over a certain area.  So a patch of fields has a
  lower frequency than, say an urban area.)  These things have sharply
  defined edges, which is not something you'd see with compression
  artifacts.

  Then again, it could be somebody playing silly buggers with
  Photoshop.

For those that care, you can surf to

for more info.

Cheers!

    My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

All of the ones that I have found so far, do not support MicroStation V8 DGN

Subject: [Freegis-list] GDAL/OGR 1.1.8 Released
Message-ID: <3E04CF6A.1060708@pobox.com>

Folks,

It has been nearly 9 months since the last official GDAL release, so I
have decided to finally package up a new cut.  Please try out GDAL 1.1.8 and
let me know what problems you encounter.

   ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/gdal/gdal-1.1.8.tar.gz
   ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/gdal/gdal118.zip

I have included the NEWS section since the 1.1.7 release.  I would note a
few flaws in this release:
  o Various bugs remaining in Bugzilla, check them if you want details.
  o I have done a huge amount of work on making the OGRSpatialReference
    work properly for EPSG 6.2.2, GEOGCS'es with odd units (not degrees), and
    supporting prime meridians but I am still not confident of some of the
    prime meridian and odd units stuff.
  o I have not upgraded the shared library naming like I promised, but I do
    plan to do so! .... some time.
  o You pretty much have to use the internal versions of libgeotiff and
    libtiff for now, as the GeoTIFF driver depends on various fixes and
    improvements not in publically released versions of these libraries.
  o There are no RPMs yet for this release.

I plan to do a new OpenEV_FW binary release with GDAL 1.1.8 soon.

PS. I appologise for the wide distribution.  Please *don't* reply to all
these groups!

Best regards,

GDAL 1.1.8 - Overview of Changes
--------------------------------

  o Implemented HDF 4 read/write support. This includes HDF EOS reading.

  o Implemented Windows BMP read/write support.

  o Implemented NITF read/write support.

  o Implemented NOAA Polar Orbiter L1B format driver.

  o Implemented EOSAT FAST format driver.

  o Implemented a JasPer based JPEG2000 driver (several limitations).

  o Implemented a Kakadu based JPEG2000/GeoJP2(tm) driver (full featured, but
    Kakadu is not open source).

  o Implemented new 'gdalwarp' application for projection and GCP based image
    warping.  See gdal/alg for underlying algorithms.  Currently gdalwarp only
    supports 8 bit images and holds the whole source image in memory.

  o Implemented write support for ESRI ASCII Grids.

  o Lots of improvements to GeoTIFF driver.  Metadata writing, update of
    georeferencing, and support for writing PCS codes based on AUTHORITY fields
    in WKT.

  o Implemented support for uncompressed 1bit data in Erdas Imagine files,
    as well as generic metadata.

  o Fixed 0xFF compression support in the Arc/Info Binary Grid (AIG) driver.

  o Lots of improvements to BSB drive, including preliminary uncompressed
    output support, support for reading BSB 3.0 and GEO/NOS.

  o Lots of work on VRT format.

  o ECW: Fixed bug with reading a more than full resultion.

  o Envisat driver now supports AATSR TOA and MERIS data.

  o Fixes for nodata support in GRASS driver.

  o Added the --version and --formats options to many utility programs.

  o gdal_translate:
     - added -projwin flag to copy a window specified in projection coordinates.
     - added the -a_srs option to assign a user supplied SRS to output file.
     - translation with subsetting to any format now support (uses VRT inside).

  o Lots of metadata now attached to driver objects describing their
    capabilities.

  o Implemented GDALDestroyDriverManager() to ensure full memory cleanup of
    GDAL related resources.

  o Added a 'devinstall' target on Windows to support easy installation of
    include files and stub libraries on Windows.  Also many other improvements
    to Windows build.  Most options can be easily turned on and off from the
    nmake.opt file now.


OGR 1.1.8 - Overview of Changes
-------------------------------

  o Implemented support for writing 2D DGN files.   Added support for MSLINK
    and Text values available as attributes.

  o Implemented FMEObjects based read driver.

  o Implemented ExecuteSQL() method on OGRDataSource.  Generic code supports
    fairly full featured SELECT statements.

  o Various fixes to 3D shapefile support.

  o Fixes to binary representation for 2.5D geometries.  Fixed MULTIPOINT WKT
    geometry representation.

  o Upgraded OGRSpatialReference.importFromEPSG() to use the new EPSG 6.2.2
    tables instead of the old EPSG 4.x tables.

  o Many fixes to PostGIS driver, including special creation options for
    "laundering" field names to save tokens.

  o Many improvements to standards conformance of OGRSpatialReference WKT
    representation to the OGC Coordinate Transformations specification.  Still
    some quirks related to prime meridians and coordinate systems with units
    other than degrees.

  o Implemented support for Meridian 2 NTF files in NTF driver.  Better
    support for GENERIC_CPOLY geometries.

  o  Added support for [NOT] IN, [NOT] LIKE and IS [NOT] NULL predicates in
    WHERE clauses.

  o Implemented a C API for accessing OGR.

  o Implemented support for building OLE DB Provider with Visual Studio.NET
    (many changes in ATL templates).  Lots of other OLE DB improvements for
    better MapGuide compatibility.
