ReSIPPy

Remote Sensing and Image Processing in Python

ReSIPPy is a set of tools to perform image processing with a focus on overhead and spectral remote sensing applications. Some features include:

• Navigation from world coordinate to camera pixel coordinates
• Navigation from pixel coordinates to world coordinates
• Orthorectification
• Spectral matched filters
• Reading spectral libraries

Installation

The installation of ReSIPPy requires two tricky dependencies:

• GDAL
• PyProj

Using conda

We prefer to use conda to manage our Python environments and dependencies. To install Anaconda (or Miniconda), follow the instructions in the Anaconda Docs. Once you have a working conda installation, clone this repo and create an environment for working with ReSIPPy:

$ conda env create -f environment.yml

Then, activate the environment to work with ReSIPPy:

$ conda activate resippy

Using pip

ReSIPPy is also available on PyPi and can be installed using pip:

$ pip install resippy

Installation using pip may require the user to download and install additional system level dependencies.
