Free and open-source
- Opticks is free to use, distribute and modify, forever. The LGPL license ensures that once you download Opticks, that version always stays free and open-source.
- Supported on Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and Solaris 10 (SPARC 64-bit). There is also experimental support for Linux (Intel 64-bit).
- Find others interested in remote sensing and image analysis here. See how to get involved.
- Get Free Help. Use our e-mail lists and real-time chat and realize the power of the Opticks community.
- Protect your investment. You want to use Opticks, but you worry about there not being any paid support? Check out Commercial Support.
Your Imagery, Your Way
- Focus on what you do best, exploiting your imagery. Not on writing a tool to view your imagery. And not on managing licenses.
- Write your algorithms using our built-in scripting window (using IDL) to focus on your algorithms without having to sacrifice the power of a full image analysis application.
- Or customize Opticks to your hearts content by developing custom Opticks extensions. See extension development for all the possibilities. Or browse the list of already available extensions.
- Whether you write scripts or develop an extension, that capability is yours. You can charge for it, or you can keep it for yourself or you can release it open-source. You make the best choice for you. And remember: the version of Opticks you used is guaranteed to always be free for you to use.
