Options: Timelapse

Timelapse rendering can be applied to stitched reprojected images and to virtual satellite geostationary images.

Sanchez can either be provided a start time, an end time, both or none in order to render timelapses, together with the -I / --interval argument to specify the time interval in minutes between images.

Timestamp format

Timestamps are expected to be in the format yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss and in UTC, matching the standard date output of both xrit-rx and geosproc.

For example, 2:30pm on the 9th of October 2020 UTC will be: 2020-10-09T14:30:00Z

Examples

Virtual satellite, automatic timestamps

When no start or end timestamp is specified, Sanchez uses the earliest and latest timestamps from the source images.

sanchez -s output -o output\geostationary\timelapse -I 60 -h 0.0 -b 1.1

Geostationary, start time only

sanchez reproject -s output -o output\equirectangular\timelapse -I 60 -T 2020-08-30T03:50:20 

Virtual satellite with rotation, start and end time

See Virtual satellite for more details on available options.
