NICAMS

The NIWA Image Capture Analysis & Management System is funded by NIWA (National Institute for Water & Atmospheric Research) and is being developed by Catalyst IT. It builds on two existing FOSS applications, Imagej & Postgresql. NICAMS allows users to identify & record the (qualitative & quantitative) contents of photographs, supporting taxonomic & substrate content comprising point, line and region areas of interest. There is no commercial or FOSS equivalent available, and it is hoped this will become the standard application for seabed image analysis, and potentially for other remote sensing imagery as well.
