Eduard Roccatello writes "3DGIS has released a new minor version of Cityvu, a multiplatform CityGML viewer.
Cityvu is a 3D GIS data viewer able to load CityGML data format from any compatible data source.
It runs on mainstream operative systems as Microsoft Windows XP and Vista, Apple Mac OS X and GNU Linux.
Cityvu offers comprehensive support to the Internet without need of installation, as it only requires Java Runtime.
This release comes after the UDMS symposium with new features:
* Stereo view
* Wireframe outline (useful for DTMs)
* User selectable face culling
* Improved scene tree
* CityGML attributes support (not yet complete but we are working on it :-) )
* Item highlighting and focus
* Screenshot support
* Lot of bugfixes

Open Source Software to Fill Landsat ETM+ SLC-Off Image Gaps 2 comments
[+]
Susan Maxwell writes "Hello All,
We have finished development of the software to fill Landsat ETM+ SLC-off image gaps (using the segment-based approach). The software will be placed on sourceforge.net within the next few days under the project name of "Landsat ETM+ SLC-off Gapfill". The program is written in C, runs on Unix/Linux, and is initiated using a GUI. We hope to make a Windows version available in the future.
There are 2 inputs to the program. The first is the Landsat SLC-off image that is to be filled. The image should be in geotiff format, UTM projection, 30m resolution, and have each band in a separate file. If you download them from Glovis or EarthExplorer, untar and uncompress them to a directory, they will be in the correct format for the software. The second input required is the "segment model" for the specific path/row of the scene you are filling. The segment model consists of 3 files referred to as the "segment maps". They were specifically created for each Landsat path/row from SLC-on imagery. You will need to download these files from our FTP site prior to running the software. We are uploading these now but it is taking longer than we anticipated. I would like to find out which Landsat path(s) and row(s) you are interested in testing now so that we can make sure these are available for you. I only need the path/row numbers (e.g., 45/32 for path 45 row 32)... not any specific date.
I will be sending out a separate notice later this week when the software and segment maps are ready for download.
Thanks,
Susan"

LandSerf - Free Terrain Visualization and Analysis Software
[+]
The FGT blog discusses LandSerf 2.3, a free (but not open source) software for terrain visualization and analysis.
From the LandSerf site: "LandSerf is a freely available Geographical Information System (GIS) for the visualisation and analysis of surfaces. Applications include visualisation of landscapes; geomorphological analysis; gaming development; GIS file conversion; map output; archaeological mapping and analysis; surface modelling and many others. It runs on any platform that supports the Java Runtime Environment (Windows, MacOSX, Unix, Linux etc.).
Features:
* Handles multiple surface models - raster digital elevation models (DEMs), vector Triangulated Irregular Networks (TINs), contours and metric surface networks (MSNs).
* Interactive 3D viewing and 'flythrough' of surfaces on platforms that support OpenGL.
* A range of powerful and interactive visualisation techniques including lighting/shade models, multiple image blending and dynamic graphical query.
* Raster and vector transformation including image rectification and map projection.
* Multi-scale surface processing based on quadratic regression.
* Fractal and polynomial surface generation for modelling and simulation.
* Multi-scale parameter and feature extraction (slope, aspect, curvature etc.).
* Import and export of common raster and vector formats.
* Integration with Garmin GPS receivers."
