# Storytelling from Space: Tools/Resources
|
||||
|
||||
This list of resources is all about acquring and processing aerial imagery. It's generally broken up in three ways: how to go about this in Photoshop/GIMP, using command-line tools, or in GIS software, depending what's most comfortable to you. Often these tools can be used in conjunction with each other.
|
||||
|
||||
## Acquiring Landsat & MODIS
|
||||
|
||||
### Web Interface
|
||||
* USGS Earth Explorer - Browser and data access (create a login)
|
||||
<http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/>
|
||||
- Landsat archive
|
||||
- Many other products, like aerial/orthophotography
|
||||
|
||||
* GLOVIS (Java/Firefox required)
|
||||
<http://glovis.usgs.gov/?popout=TRUE>
|
||||
- Similar data different interface
|
||||
|
||||
* NASA WorldView - Browser and data access
|
||||
<https://earthdata.nasa.gov/labs/worldview/>
|
||||
|
||||
* NASA GIBS - MODIS tileserver
|
||||
<https://wiki.earthdata.nasa.gov/display/GIBS/Global+Imagery+Browse+Services+%28GIBS%29+Home>
|
||||
|
||||
* NASA Near-Real Time satellite data links
|
||||
<https://earthdata.nasa.gov/data/near-real-time-data/rapid-response>
|
||||
|
||||
* Google Earth Engine
|
||||
<https://earthengine.google.org/>
|
||||
|
||||
* Landsat 8 Acquisition Calendar
|
||||
<https://landsat.usgs.gov/tools_L8_acquisition_calendar.php>
|
||||
|
||||
### Scripting
|
||||
* Landsatutil (Development Seed)
|
||||
<http://www.developmentseed.org/blog/2014/08/29/landsat-util/>
|
||||
<https://github.com/developmentseed/landsat-util>
|
||||
|
||||
* Fetch from Google Earth Engine
|
||||
<https://gist.github.com/briantjacobs/ab695cc15775df9570ed>
|
||||
|
||||
* Landsat 8 data on AWS
|
||||
<http://aws.amazon.com/public-data-sets/landsat/>
|
||||
|
||||
* Landsat data on Google Storage
|
||||
<https://console.developers.google.com/storage/browser/earthengine-public/landsat/>
|
||||
|
||||
## Processing Landsat
|
||||
|
||||
### Background
|
||||
* Landsat 7/8 bands and combinations
|
||||
<http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/07/24/band-combinations-for-landsat-8/>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Photoshop
|
||||
|
||||
* How To Make a True-Color Landsat 8 Image (Rob Simmon, NASA)
|
||||
<http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/elegantfigures/2013/10/22/how-to-make-a-true-color-landsat-8-image/>
|
||||
|
||||
* Processing Landsat 8 (Tom Patterson, National Park Service)
|
||||
<http://www.shadedrelief.com/landsat8/introduction.html>
|
||||
|
||||
* Avenza Geographic Imager - Expensive but excellent plugin. Allows you to much of what GDAL does (plus things it can't) and preserve geographic metadata.
|
||||
<http://www.avenza.com/geographic-imager>
|
||||
|
||||
* Without Geographic Imager, you need GDAL tools if you want to preserve geographic metadata:
|
||||
|
||||
Dump metadata from a file before messing with it in Photoshop
|
||||
```
|
||||
listgeo -no_norm original.tif > original.geo
|
||||
```
|
||||
Add the metadata back after saving back out
|
||||
```
|
||||
geotifcp -g original.geo modified.tif modified_geotiff.tif
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### GIMP
|
||||
|
||||
* Merging bands into RGB in GIMP
|
||||
<http://edwardmjohnson.wordpress.com/using-landsat-imagery-in-gimp/>
|
||||
* Pansharpening in GIMP (translate from Portuguese!)
|
||||
<http://www.processamentodigital.com.br/2013/11/17/gimp-2-8-fusao-de-imagens-landsat-8-em-pseudo-cores-naturais/>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Scripting
|
||||
|
||||
##### GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library & ImageMagick (command-line photoshop)
|
||||
|
||||
* GDAL: ogr2ogr (for vector) and GDAL (for raster)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
brew install gdal --enable-unsupported --with-postgres
|
||||
```
|
||||
*note: "--enable-unsupported" allows you to install third party drivers, necessary for proprietary formats like MrSID and FileGDB. See this <http://briantjacobs.com/mrsid-gdal-homebrew/>*
|
||||
|
||||
* ImageMagick, aka `convert`
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
brew install imagemagick
|
||||
```
