All-
Dave Burken and Ming Su at GeoEye implemented an OSSIM image provider for
QGIS. The primary motivation was to provide OSSIM users a mature, rich UI to
visualize and analyze raster and vector data. Users would have the option to
use OSSIM instead of GDAL to visualize raster data.
I saw an early prototype last summer. It was only 1-2 weeks old but we were
able to load images and view images in the QGIS viewer (simple ortho-image
chain). It looked promising at the time. I have no idea what happened to the
code. I think the GeoEye guys were having some GIT issues and eventually ran
out of funding. Would be really nice to resurrect it...

PS. I have nothing against GDAL!! I think its an awesome library. There are
simply things you can do in ossim that you can't do in gdal and vice versa.
That's why it would be nice to allow users to switch between renderers.

As Alex Said, SEXTANTE is the easiest way for you to incorporate OSSIM
into QGIS.
Feel free to ask me for help, I will be pleased to guide you and
explain you how to do it and how to create a SEXTANTE plugin for OSSIM
