Dear OTB community,

We are happy to announce that OTB version 9.1.0 has been released!

The Docker image are available with different python versions (3.8 by default, 3.10 for 9.1.0_ubuntu22, 3.12 for 9.1.0_ubuntu24) :

docker pull orfeotoolbox/otb:9.1.0

It is also possible to checkout the branch with git:

Changes

This release introduces bug fixes, important dependencies update (jpeg turbo, geotiff and GDAL), documentation improvement and the support of SPOT5 (previously drop in OTB8 as OSSIM dependency was removed).
The full changelog can be accessed here.

We welcome your feedback and requests on OTB’s GitLab and if you find a bug, please report it!

Reminder from OTB 9.0:

The whole new packaging system is entirely made with CMake / CPack, to make the toolbox more modular. You still have the possibility to have a full package for Linux and Windows, but for those who want to install only a part of the toolbox it is possible since v9. The modules list is available in the cookbook with their associated applications. All the packages are now in tar.gz and the installation is movable unlike OTB < 9.

All GUI has been dropped. QGIS is now the official visualization tool. We support the development of a plugin which you can use with the following instructions. Thus like 9.0 the version 9.1 does not include Monteverdi or Mapla.

Like version 9.0, Mac version is no longer packaged for ARM architecture, you can use the docker image or the macports repository to use OTB in QGIS on MacOS.
