NCTOOLBOX (Formerly NCDATASET)

A Matlab interface for accessing NetCDF and OpenDAP datasets. This toolkit uses the NetCDF-Java (v. 4.2) implementation under the hood so it should be cross-platform . This works with all the MBARI NetCDF datasets but your mileage may vary. It's now hosted on Google Code and contributions and suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Video Annotation and Reference System (VARS)

The Video Annotation and Reference System (VARS) is a software interface and database system that provides tools for describing, cataloging, retrieving, and viewing the visual, descriptive, and quantitative data associated with video. Developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) for annotating deep-sea video data, VARS is currently being used to describe over 3000 dives by our remotely operated vehicles (ROV). VARS has allowed MBARI scientists to produce numerous quanititative and qualitative scientific publications based on video data.

VCR4J

The vcr4j project is a Java API for communicating with video cassette recorders (VCR) that support the Sony 9-pin communication protocol over RS422 (a serial port).

QTX4J

The qtx4j project provides extensions and utilities for working with the QuickTime for Java API.

QuickOpen plugin for jEdit

QuickOpen is a plugin for jEdit, a cross platform programmer's text editor written in Java. It allows a programmer to quickly open any file in the current directory and it's sub-directories by just typing in a few characters of a filename.
