About

Rasterio reads and writes geospatial raster datasets. Geographic information systems use GeoTIFF and other formats to organize and store gridded raster datasets such as satellite imagery and terrain models.

Features

  • Reads and writes GeoTIFF raster datasets
  • Wraps GDAL through Cython extension modules
  • NumPy array interface for raster bands
  • Windowed reading and block-wise processing
  • Reprojection and resampling utilities
  • Includes rio command-line interface
