planetaryimage 0.1.0

Features

• Reads in PDS Images as NumPy arrays.

• Reads in Isis Cube Files as NumPy arrays.

Quickstart

Create and activate a virtual environment:

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Upgrade pip, then pip install the package and IPython notebook and matplotlib to help display the image:

pip install -U pip
pip install planetaryimage matplotlib ipython[notebook]

This quick example will show how to open and display a Pancam PDS image using this module. First, grab a sample image:

wget http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/mer/opportunity/mer1po_0xxx/data/sol2840/edr/1p380322615effbr43p2443l1m1.img

Now run python:

$ ipython notebook

Create a new notebook in your web browser and then paste the following code into a cell and execute it by pressing Shift+ENTER. This will load and display the image:

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from planetaryimage import PDS3Image
image = PDS3Image.open('1p380322615effbr43p2443l1m1.img')
plt.imshow(image.data, cmap='gray')
