Post #99

https://github.com/daleroberts/tv tv ("#textview") is a small tool to quickly view high-resolution multi-band imagery directly in your terminal. It was designed for working with (very large) #satellite imagery data over a low-bandwidth connection. For example, you can directly visualise a Himawari 8 (11K x 11K pixel) image of the Earth directly from its URL: It is built upon the wonderful #GDAL library so it is able to load a large variety of image formats (GeoTiff, PNG, Jpeg, NetCDF, ...) and subsample the image as it reads from disk so it can handle very large files quickly. It has the ability to read filenames (or URLs) from stdin and load files directly from URLs without writing locally to disk. Command line options are styled after gdal_translate such as: -b to specify the bands (and ordering) to use, -srcwin xoff yoff xsize ysize to view a subset of the image, -r to specify the subsampling algorithm (nearest, bilinear, cubic, cubicspline, lanczos, average, mode).
