GDAL

GDAL is an open-source library for raster and vector geospatial data formats. The library comes with a vast collection of utility programs that can perform many geoprocessing tasks and build scalable spatial ETL pipelines without the need for expensive software. This class introduces GDAL and OGR utilities with example workflows for processing satellite and aerial imagery
