Generators and Remote Sensing
Using Python generators to process raster satellite imagery in chunks, without blowing up your RAM.
I work at the intersection of remote sensing, satellite image processing (optical and SAR) and geospatial data science. Previously at CESBIO (Toulouse) on CNES-funded projects; currently at Tecna-ICE,
This is where I write about remote sensing, geospatial data processing, open-source tools (GRASS GIS, Orfeo Toolbox) and, occasionally, something entirely different.
Using Python generators to process raster satellite imagery in chunks, without blowing up your RAM.
A trick to download Tessera embeddings for large areas without blowing up your RAM, by looking inside how geotessera actually works.
Why Orfeo Toolbox deserves more recognition outside the CNES/Toulouse ecosystem, and what makes it a serious tool for satellite image processing.
A review of Ben Klemens's Modeling with Data, and why learning data science through code, math and prose together is worth it.
