Gerbil is a generic framework for visualization and analysis of multispectral and hyperspectral data that strives to both bring new innovations in analysis capabilities and be of use in a wide range of hyperspectral data applications. In a nutshell, Gerbil lets you… explore a multispectral or hyperspectral image before processing it, apply common computer vision algorithms adapted to hyperspectral data, cluster and label image pixels for your application scenario, assess your own algorithms via high-dimensional data visualization, use an intuitive interface for teaching multispectral imaging and reflectance analysis. One example application for Gerbil is finding hidden information in multispectral scans of old manuscripts or art pieces.

gFacet is a tool for graph-based visualization of RDF data developed as part of the Visual Data Web toolset and based on the Adobe Flex open source framework. Using SPARQL to access the user's dataset, it integrates filtering based on facets represented as nodes within the visualization to enable users to select which they wish to work with and create custom search interfaces.

Google Charts (formerly the Google Visualization API) is a web-based interface for interactive data visualization via HTML5 and SVG. It includes a number of preset chart types ranging from line charts to word trees and all are customizable. A separate selection of user community contributed chart types is also available. Within a chart, the API identifies events that users can trigger with presets ranging from simple clicks to Javascript methods, and enable users to construct chart dashboards that can be embedded in their website along with the chart proper.
