Presentation

OrbisGIS is a Geographical Information System (GIS) dedicate to scientific modeling and simulation. OrbisGIS is developed by the Institute on Urban Sciences and Technics,(IRSTV - CNRS/FR-2488), in the context of the Urban Data Federative Research Project. This project has to do with Urban GIS : tools and methods for the spatial analysis of the urban environment.

Three main axes structure this scientific framework :

• data acquisition techniques (remote sensing, modeling and simulation, site enquiries…),
• spatial data processing and representation (storage, modeling, multiscale 3D+t simulations),
• geographic data sharing.

OrbisGIS is a part of a more global Spatial Data Infrastructure. It is a mandatory component to anyone who needs to process spatial data (create, update, process and model) or visualize them. Based on robust and well-known open source libraries such as JTS (Java Topology Suite) or ImageJ, it provides the ability to visualize or process 2D vector and/or raster data. Those both data types may be stored in a a flat file or remote DataBase Management System…
