Rasterio's goal is a raster data library, expressing GDAL's data model
|
||
|
|
using fewer non-idiomatic extension classes and more idiomatic Python
|
||
|
|
types and protocols, while performing as fast as GDAL's Python bindings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Geographic information systems use GeoTIFF and other formats to organize
|
||
|
|
and store gridded raster datasets such as satellite imagery and terrain
|
||
|
|
models. Rasterio reads and writes these formats and provides a Python
|
||
|
|
API based on Numpy N-dimensional arrays and GeoJSON.
