Compile Astronaut photographs from a specified region into a single KML
Project description
=========
AstroKML
=========
Generates a KML file from Astronaught Photographs covering a user specified region
Note: this is a script, not a module
---------
Dependencies
---------
mechanize 0.2.5 <http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize>
pykml 0.3 <http://code.google.com/p/pykml>
Optional (only needed if -s option is used)
gdal 1.7.1 <http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GdalOgrInPython>
shapely 1.2 <http://trac.gispython.org/lab/wiki/Shapely>
---------
Installation
---------
$ sudo easy_install astrokml
---------
Usage
---------
To load a region defined by a shapefile:
AstroKML.py -s <Output File> <Shapefile>
NOTE: The shapefile must contain a single polygon entry
To load a region defined by a bounding box:
AstroKML.py -b <Output File> <MinLon> <MinLat> <MaxLon> <MaxLat>
To use predefined region(s):
AstroKML.py -r <Output File> <Region1> ...
See http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/sseop/technical.htm for the full list of regions
