OpenEV is an open source geospatial toolkit and an interface. It uses the GDAL library to display georeferenced images and elevation data. The application also supports image editing capabilities, and uses OpenGL to display elevation data in Three-Dimension. The original version of OpenEV was developed by Atlantis Scientific as a prototype viewer for the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure. Its development was supported by the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing GeoConnections program and J-2 Geomatics (Canadian Department of National Defense). The goal was to create a free, downloadable advanced satellite imagery viewer that allowed users to work interactively with CGDI data.
