Rasterio reads and writes geospatial raster data.
Geographic information systems use GeoTIFF and other formats to organize and store gridded, or raster, datasets. Rasterio reads and writes these formats and provides a Python API based on N-D arrays.
Rasterio 1.4 works with Python >= 3.9, Numpy >= 1.24, and GDAL >= 3.5. Official binary packages for Linux, macOS, and Windows with most built-in format drivers plus HDF5, netCDF, and OpenJPEG2000 are available on PyPI.
Read the documentation for more details:https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/.
Here's an example of some basic features that Rasterio provides. Three bands are read from an image and averaged to produce something like a panchromatic band. This new band is then written to a new single band TIFF.
importnumpyasnp
importrasterio
# Read raster bands directly to Numpy arrays.
#
withrasterio.open('tests/data/RGB.byte.tif')assrc:
r,g,b=src.read()
# Combine arrays in place. Expecting that the sum will
# temporarily exceed the 8-bit integer range, initialize it as
# a 64-bit float (the numpy default) array. Adding other
# arrays to it in-place converts those arrays "up" and
# preserves the type of the total array.
total=np.zeros(r.shape)
forbandinr,g,b:
total+=band
total/=3
# Write the product as a raster band to a new 8-bit file. For
# the new file's profile, we start with the meta attributes of
# the source file, but then change the band count to 1, set the
# dtype to uint8, and specify LZW compression.
profile=src.profile
profile.update(dtype=rasterio.uint8,count=1,compress='lzw')
withrasterio.open('example-total.tif','w',**profile)asdst:
dst.write(total.astype(rasterio.uint8),1)The output:
Rasterio gives access to properties of a geospatial raster file.
