MonteverdiMonteverdi Application
The OTB-Applications package makes available a set of simple software tools which were designed to demonstrates what can be done with OTB. Many users started using these applications for real processing tasks, so we tried to make them more generic, more robust and easy to use. OTB users have been asking for an integrated application for a while, since using several applications for a complete processing (ortho-rectification, segmentation, classification, etc.) can be a burden. The OTB team came up with a smart software architecture which allows building processing chains by selecting modules from a set of menus. It supports raster and vector data and integrates most of the already existing OTB applications. The architecture takes advantage of the streaming and multi-threading capabilities of the OTB pipeline. It also uses cool features as processing on demand and automagic file format I/O. The application is called Monteverdi, since this is the name of the Orfeo composer.

E-learning
The Orfeo Toolbox provides a complete documentation with a comprehensive guide detailing the steps to install OTB and use it.For Monteverdi, the OTB team provide screencasts demonstrating and teaching the software features. This video works as progressive tutorials wich would introduce the main functionnalities of Monteverdi. For now only french version of screencasts are available)
The introductive tutorial (first part) presents the architecture of the Monteverdi application:
