If you watch your email or ISIS’s website like a hawk, you’ll notice ISIS 3.4.0 just dropped this week. So where’s Ames Stereo Pipeline in all of this?

The current plan is to get Ames Stereo Pipeline 2.0 out before the Planetary Data Workshop on June 25th in Flagstaff. At this meeting I hope to be giving a tutorial and showing off all the cool stuff the community and the team have been developing for ASP.

I currently have two limiting factors that I hope will get resolved in the next 2 weeks:

• ASP and Binary Builder need to agree with the changes in ISIS 3.4.0.
• The NASA Ames Lawyers need to re-license Vision Workbench under the Apache 2 license. ASP has already been re-licensed to Apache 2, however one of its prime dependencies is Vision Workbench. This is a legal block against releasing binaries.

Thank you all for your patience and for doing neat projects with Ames Stereo Pipeline. I enjoy seeing the pretty pictures at science conferences.

Things to look forward in this next release are:

• Digital Globe Image support.
• Faster and Memory efficient integer correlator.
• GDAL projection interface for point2dem.
• Parameter settings from command line and configuration file.
