In this blog, I will summarize all the work, that has been done during my three months of work at AerospaceResearch.net.
The resulting product is a fully functional web application and a set of supporting logic, that allows uploading, georeferencing, combining and displaying NOAA weather images. Below, more specific features are listed.
Work done
- implemented functionality to extract and store satellite metadata
- designed and implemented an accurate image georeferencing algorithm
- designed and implemented an algorithm to merge several satellite images, taking care of overlapping areas
- created CLI interfaces for each part of package API
