LEOWorks 4: The new ESA open-source image processing and GIS software for Education and training

Περίληψη

LEOWorks is an Open Source image processing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software for educational purposes. It introduces Earth Observation techniques to users from secondary school to university level. LEOWorks bridges the gap between: a) the theory, data and overall content of the ESA Eduspace website for secondary schools and b) the practical implementation of case studies in the classroom, letting students discover and experiment with satellite imagery and related geospatial information. LEOWorks 4 is a significantly superior product with respect to the previous version, providing not only many more processing possibilities, but also flexibility and potential for further development.
