Introduction to Madagascar

Sergey Fomel

Abstract:

Madagascar is an open-source software package for geophysical data processing and reproducible numerical experiments. Its mission is to provide

  1. a convenient and powerful environment
  2. a convenient technology transfer tool
for researchers working with digital image and data processing. The package is available in an open-source form to allow effective collaboration of a wide community of developers. The technology developed using the Madagascar project management system is transferred in the form of recorded processing histories, which become ``computational recipes'' to be verified, exchanged, and modified by the users of the system.
