GIS and Remote Sensing Software

This database provides descriptions of a large variety of software for the processing and analysis of space-based information. You can search the database by criteria such as software type, data format and operating system. As the database includes applications of varying technical complexity, it is also possible to select only those that do not require programming skills and have a graphical user interface.
