About

xlandsat is Python library for loading Landsat scenes downloaded from USGS EarthExplorer into xarray.Dataset containers. We take care of reading the metadata from the *_MTL.txt files provided by EarthExplorer and organizing the bands into a single data structure for easier manipulation, processing, and visualization.

Project goals

  • Loading single scenes in the EarthExplorer format.
  • Provide some calculation, like composites, but leave most of the rest to the user and xarray.

Our goal is not to provide a solution for large-scale data processing. Instead, our target is smaller scale analysis done on individual computers. For cloud-based data processing, see the Pangeo Project.

Project status

xlandsat is ready for use but still changing. This means that we sometimes break backwards compatibility as we try to improve the software based on user experience, new ideas, better design decisions, etc. Please keep that in mind before you update xlandsat to a newer version.

We welcome feedback and ideas! This is a great time to bring new ideas on how we can improve the project. Submit issues on GitHub.
