Overview
rio-color is a rasterio plugin that applies basic color operations to geospatial rasters. It supports gamma, sigmoidal contrast and saturation adjustments, and can be used from the command line as rio color or as a Python module working on numpy arrays. It keeps GeoTIFF georeferencing and structure, and is useful for improving satellite imagery.
Key features
- Gamma, sigmoidal contrast and saturation operations
- Keeps georeferencing, tiling, compression and nodata values
- Processes internal blocks and can use multiple cores
- Command line tool and Python API on numpy arrays
Best for
People correcting the color of satellite or aerial rasters who want to keep GeoTIFF metadata. It is lightweight and geo-aware, unlike a general tool such as Imagemagick convert.
