OTB is an open source library available under the terms of the free software license CeCILL (compatible with GPL) . Source code tarballs and current binary packages are available for all or some of OTB, OTB-Applications, Monteverdi and OTB-Wrapping, depending on the system.
For testing and learning purpose, we also provide a sample dataset, which contains collections of data from different sources and in different formats which appear in the software guide examples.
