Support for the MISB standards, the video stream is processed for the internal metadata embedded in the KLV stream. The positioning information is used to place the video geographically. ffmpeg is used for video playback in the 3d environment

* growing or stable community?
Communications channels and protocols were integrated to allow multiple instances of ossimplanet to synchronize on data and navigation. External applications can now drive the planet

===== GUI enhancement =====
 
Ability to enable and disable layers, move them around and general GUI improvements

We have been working towards OSGeo incubation graduation for the last 
 
couple of years - brief flurries of activity followed by long periods 
 
of inactivity because everyone concerned is occupied with other 
 
things.  I've recently picked up the task and am trying to address the 
 
final comments and reviews so we can get it before the OSGeo Incubator 
 
committee.  Richard Gould has been our OSGeo mentor and we have been 
 
recommended for graduation.  We are still trying to track down the 
 
status of some minor details and I've moved it up close to the top of 
 
my list so we can get everything accomplished.
 
 
 
OSSIM Incubation status: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSSIM_incubation_status
 
 
 
OSSIM Provenance reveiw: http://trac.osgeo.org/ossim/wiki/ossimprovenance
 
 
 
are places to look if you want to find out more.
 
 
 
The PSC tries to meet every one or two months and discuss the overall 
 
direction of the program.  We are in initial discussions of pulling 
 
together ideas for refactoring towards an OSSIM 2.0 baseline.
 
Everyone is encouraged to use the wiki page at:  http://trac.osgeo.org/ossim/milestone/ossimPlanet%202.0
 
  To add their comments and ideas.  As these gel we'll formalize the 
 
discussion on the mailing list.
 
 
 
Garrett Potts (RadiantBlue) and Norman Vine (RadiantBlue)  are going 
 
to be focused on API and improvements to ossimPlanet for the next 
 
couple of months.  Some of the improvements they are working on are a 
 
new dual queue elevation management system, an improved ossimPlanet 
 
API, new manipulators, and better support for overall annotation.
 
 
 
Dave Burken (SPADAC) has been the primary maintainer of the classified 
 
plugin for OSSIM.  This plugin handles classified data sets and 
 
formats and is maintained at the SECRET level.  It is used mostly 
 
within the US Defense community and a few coalition partners.  This 
 
plugin has recently been upgraded and a new version was released for 
 
those that have access to it.  It is open source within the 
 
appropriate security communities.
 
 
 
Bill Watkins (RadiantBlue) will be adding Community Sensor Model (CSM) 
 
support to the OSSIM baseline, this effort will also refactor some of 
 
the code within OSSIM to provide enhanced support for 3D models, 
 
LIDAR, and cleaner image to ground and ground to image transformations.
 
 
 
Scott Bortman (RadiantBlue) is focused on OMAR which is getting a lot 
 
of attention on several government projects.  Omar integrates several 
 
open source technologies with an OSSIM processing engine to enable 
 
dynamic geospatial processing and viewing on the web.  The system is 
 
currently indexing very large numbers of (10s of thousands) of 
 
geospatial data sets and UAV videos for searches, queries, playback 
 
and processing.  Rodger Palko and Jeremy Filizetti from SMS Fed are 
 
actively supporting development and integration of the OMAR system.
 
 
 
We continue to get long term feedback and support from James Hopper at 
 
SAIC, the Optics team at Ball Aerospace (Vance Saunders and co), and 
 
the ORfeo toolbox (Jordi Inglada) - all users of OSSIM in their 
 
solutions.  Also, would like to recognize Massimo Di Stefano from 
 
Italy, Bill Clark (Boeing), Phil Lipscomb (SAIC),  and Adam Gurson and 
 
his crew from IAI for their support.
 
 
 
OSSIM is now being supported by a number of government agencies and 
 
international corporations.  Many of these projects and customers 
 
prefer to remain anonymous, but they all are enthusiastically 
 
supporting the open source model and the project by funding key 
 
contributors and development efforts.  Part of the mission of the 
 
OSSIM team is to prove that you can make a living working on open 
 
source projects and doing what you love.
 
  
As to those anonymous agencies and companies, Al, Willie, Vic, Tom,
