Compatibility between QGIS and OTB versions¶
There are compatibility issues between the different versions of OTB and QGIS. Any version of OTB compiled with GDAL 3.X is not compatible with QGIS 3.12 or below. This is the case for the binary packages of OTB 7.1 and above. In this case QGIS 3.14 or more should be used.
The table below summarizes which version of OTB can be used with which version of QGIS.
| QGIS 3.8 - 3.12 | QGIS 3.14 and more | |
| OTB 6.6.1 | Compatible | Compatible |
| OTB 7.0.0 | Compatible | Compatible |
| OTB 7.1.0 | Not Compatible | Compatible |
Use OTB in old QGIS version (3.6 and less)¶
Warning
Please consider upgrading your QGIS version.
Since QGIS 3.8 and with 3.10 LTR version, the configuration of OTB Application is directly done in QGIS Provider (see above).
If you use older version of QGIS (from 3.2 to 3.6), you need to install an additional plugin in order to use OTB applications. This plugin is available here with specific installation instructions.
Troubleshooting¶
As of QGIS 3.8 the OTB plugin is in the core. It might get messy if you have a previously installed plugin. Try to remove the old plugin before launching QGIS.
Issue tracking¶
If you encounter issues with integration of OTB application into QGIS, please fill an issue into the OTB issue tracker with qgis label.
