OTBTF: Orfeo ToolBox meets TensorFlow

OTBTF is a remote module of the Orfeo ToolBox. It provides a generic, multi-purpose deep learning framework, targeting remote sensing images processing. It contains a set of new process objects for OTB that internally invoke Tensorflow, and new OTB applications to perform deep learning with real-world remote sensing images. Applications can be used to build OTB pipelines from Python or C++ APIs. OTBTF also includes a python API to build quickly Keras compliant models suited for remote sensing imagery, easy to train in distributed environments.
