Input and output formats

Matt Painter edited this page Oct 4, 2020 · 2 revisions

Sanchez accepts a path to input file(s) via -s / --source and output file(s) via -o / --output. The nature of these values depends on the mode in which Sanchez is being used.

Input files can either be to a directory, a single file, or a glob pattern (e.g., images\**\GOES*.jpg)

Source type Options Output type Output
Single source File Satellite image composed with full-colour underlay
Multiple source Directory A single composed image is created per source file, with filenames based on the source filenames
Multiple source Target longitude, timestamp File A single composed image is created based on a virtual satellite at a target longitude. Source images are expected contain images from multiple satellites. See Reprojection for details.
